windsurfing car?

What's your ultimate?

The video would have been improved if it showed why they were called sin bins.

If spending all day Saturday and Sunday polishing your knob and cleaning your pipes is how you roll "goodluck"

I couldn't think of anything worse to waste time money on.

But nice cars if your a fan.

A sticker [ circa 72'] on Buzz's blue Kombi Van side window said " don't be a meddlar with the peddlar", he thought if he had a sticker like that he wouldn't get hassled by the cops, nah he got busted

Thanks doggie. There are plenty of Ford panel vans around with the bread van doors ( ex Telstra etc) but the GL (up and down tailgate with head lining right through) is a rare bird these days and worth the big bucks.

I always thought the Cleveland V8s were a bad match in the XDs, Es and Fs. Too heavy and putting the cars out of balance.

Very tight fit too. Just ask someone who has changed the spark plugs in one. Engine has to be dead cold to start with.

I had an XY Falcon 500 years ago that had a 302 Windsor with a C4 box and that was a really sweet little motor. Ford were using up surplus Canadian Windsor engines and gear boxes due to a less than expected demand for F 100s with V8 engines. I sold that car for $1,200 to a collector on the Sunshine Coast who had at least one of each model going back to the XMs

I seem to recall that Ford put out a fairly limited number of panel vans to compete with the Sand Man but what they called it escapes me.

Chrysler did not want to be left out of the race so they came out with the "Drifter".

Standard sticker for the back of a panel van those days was "Don't Laugh, Your Daughter Might Be In Here" [}:)][}:)]

It's a little embarressing now, but i used to get around in this...

I loved it though - and sold it for 150% of the price i bought it for!

My mate had a XD pano just like that but was metalic blue and windowless. Top car but it couldn't handle being parked at the beach all the time and rusted out big time. drove the poor thing into the ground.
My wife has a 78 V8 commodore. She loves it so I've had to really look after it, hasn't done a lot of miles. Been trying for a few years to get her out of it because its never been happy on unleaded fuel.
Last year I brought home a nearly brand new VY and told her to have a drive. cruising along she says
"why am I driving this"
I say "I'll buy it for you today"
she says "I dont want this, my cars nicer"
No sale. To be real honest I think she was right, the VB's a pretty sweet ride. Took a 100 series GXL landcruiser to get her out of it.
Now its occupying shed space. She's found out its one of the oldest V8 commodores on the planet. She's even managed to get it on vintage rego. Does that make anyone feel old, its 33 years old.
