Richo, thinking back in 1980 i thought the end of Chrysler was a sad day too

i learned to drive in a AP5 push button auto, owned a few from that era too - AP6 273ci V8 T-bar auto

some traditionalists believe it was the first aussie muscle on offer

My dad's uncle owned that first model T.  He was a farmer at Berrybank at the time.  One night they were driving home and ran right over a drunk without even touching him.

I finally bought a Ford. It's a 1993 Festiva Trio. It has 20,000 k's on the clock and it's like new inside and out.

Aaand, it's heaps better than the Holden Barina I once had. Now, that really was a piece of **bleep** . . . and a slug to boot.

is that a woman's tongue smiley? OK ...so i'll be gentle

from actually owing fords holdens and valiants [and an array of others]

comparing the holdens and fords i had, i always thought the ford had a bit more class.. also a better build quality and finish

and i'm not being biased here, cuz some of the holdens i had were quite loveable too, example A9X, 350 statesman, 74 monaro etc

& there was this thing i flipped an VC commodore 6cyl 4spd, gee that was a great driver
