I've had 2 company supplied AU wagons, and own my AU2. And it will be the last. My next ride will have factory fitted boost!

This is my first, it being my first car, and i think when i update, i will update to a Fairlane or LTD like rick said, in an AU obviously, i also wouldn't mind snatching up a T-series as a collector ... im a ford boy, but an AU boy for life :P ... (yes i realise they are the same)

shaynet you are one lucky bast!@# 1 of each that is a collection and a half. I had enough trouble finding a decent T3 TE50 i would buy one if i could find a decent one with all the right bits on it.

I've got 2 AU's at the moment looking at a third.

I learnt in my mums Forte, which she still owns, and I have a fairmont. If I sell, it'll be for a Fairlane GHIA with a 347ci, or any T-series, or a purpose built fairmont ghia turbo.

No, the one you saw on Saturday was mine. Build #147.

There are only 3. Another forum member in Melb owns the other black one. Build #P01. It was the only pilot/prototype car.

The 3rd is Monsoon Blue and build #002. Believed to be in the Seven Hills area

My first car was a 94 Ghia. I bought the XLS back in about March.... Au's are fantasic. i just love their shape. I reckon the front end in an AU is so much better than the BA front end. The BA front end just looks too...chunky???

nah, shaynet is probably the luckiest AU owner of the lot - he has all 3 T3 models in his posession. A Pursuit 250 would make it a full house.

Just the one AU for me - AU3 XR8 Ute, although the parents did have up until not long ago an AUII Fairmont.

Id love to replace the ute with a Pursuit 250, but I think if I do sell it, it wont be for a long time, and it would be to get into a B-Series.

Then the TL opportunity just popped up recently and I was able to juggle finances to snap it up. It's going to need paint & panel work to get it like new again. My intention is to keep the car completely std and use it mainly for shows and occassional cruising.

Its my intention to make it available for viewing as often as possible but at the same time I want to minimise kays on the car :
