Hey you bloody Ford lovers,
Sometime back when we had that great car thread running on AMI I meant to post this vid.
You gotta love a big, black Falcon Hard Top!!!. I wonder what movie inspired this film clip???

Big black ford, red dusty Aussie soil, clear blue Aussie skies, good looking Aussie bloke and Sheila and a gravelly Aussie accent.. Just bloody great!

Yeah, doesn't get more Aussie than that......very cool film clip indeed!!!
He sings "I got a big, black, shinny car" ......well so have I Shannon, and here she is





Reckon she might even give that Ford Hard Top a run for it's money

And here is what she replaced





Yep....I have a huge weakness for big, bad, ballsy Holden high performance V8s, (although it costing me a fortune in fuel)

Very nice.

It was a sad day when I realised that my garage was full of cars that were produced by 2 of the biggest losers of 70 years ago.

I'll get myself a metallic green SS commodore one day and I want the number plate SS4 (SS for obvious reasons and 4 as I was born on the 4th).

You won't regret it Brad. I have had VP SS, VR SS , and my current drive above the VE SSV (aka as the Pontiac G8...thus the plate "Ausy G8"), and they were/are all great cars!!. I believe the current VF SS is the best yet...a real shame then that it will be the last home-grown Holden high performance V8 .
My next V8 with be the big Camaro SS when she hits our shores with a Holden badge on her in a few years time.
Until then I will just have to settle for my 1:24 version

I just gotta be patient for some dosh to come in and I'll be at Watson's Holden just down the road.

VW Golf & Merc. Before that, Honda, Toyota.


Not a USA (General Motors or Ford) vehicle has graced our garage for 25 years.

Only allied vehicle is my Triumph motorcycle made in Birmingham, UK.

Nothing wrong with some of those brands!! in fact the V8 SuperCar Mercs did quiet well yesterday in NZ, placing 5th.
The Merc V8 SuperCar is a pretty good piece of kit.
