Post by: mosh on August 27, 2010, 11:09:59 PM: 1: to do it properly, it needs to be done on the western outskirts of Melbourne. But of ourse, we're talking about the woeful Mad Max III here, and not the superior earlier movies. Shit floats, I guess.
2: I didnt know there were that many XB model Falcon coupe's still around. Eric Bana has one, and he smashed it. I'm sure the rest were compacted years ago.
3: One year, I will get to Burning Man. Just not this year.

Post by: ttfg on August 28, 2010, 02:24:11 PM: My first car was a yellow XB station wagaon. Mother drove it before I got it... and before her... it was owned by Lifeline.

[trivia] I did the ninbin run in under 4 hours in it... including a crash into a tree hauling asss out of ninbin after the feral kids try to roll me for the weed (it was late around 9pm), hit the try right where the hood meets the quarter... it only rubbed on the tyre when going hard into the corners on the twisty bits[/triva]

Post by: mosh on August 28, 2010, 11:44:29 PM: The car I first drove was my old man's XB Fairmont sedan, 4.9 litre V8 and no power steering. Weighed about as much as my current car does and about 5 times more solid than my current car is.

Post by: ttfg on August 29, 2010, 02:53:07 AM: Ours was the 6, also without power, in "chrome yellow" aka American school bus yellow.... A 6cyl lounge chair with a steering wheel. I do miss it.
