Hey everyone!
Been a long time fan of ETCG, thought I’d finally get around to joining the forum.
I’m from Melbourne, Australia, and look forward to hearing how much our cars differ to yours.
Speaking of cars, I drive a Ford. A Ford that is likely very different to anything that you Americans have seen; its a Falcon. Specifically, a 1998 Ford Falcon GLi Wagon
My first car, and I’ve been pretty happy with it over the last nine months. However, I’ve just aquired another Ford:
The gold one is a 1995 Ford LTD. They share essentially the same chassis. The LTD is a long wheel base sedan, and is the highest-spec model Ford of its era. I’m not sure what a similar ranking would be for American cars, but the hierachy for Aussie Fords of this vintage is: GLI / Futura / XR / Fairmont (+Ghia model) / Fairlane (+Ghia model) / LTD. Full of some nice luxuries of the time; electric leather seats, sunroof, automatic climate control. The works.
The only downside is that the V8 in it does not run. Me, being a P plater (not sure if you have anything similar in the US of A, but it means I’m in my first 4 years of driving), I cant drive a V8 anyway, so the 4L Inline-6 from the wagon will slowly be making its way into the LTD.
I might update a thread on here with the same updates I will be putting on one of the Australian Ford forums as I modify it, so I can give you guys a taste of our cars over here!
Cheers guys
