Hey ppl just wanted to see if anyone was around cronulla 7/11 last night about 11pm?????

I spotted a bunch of xy xw xa xb gt's etc sitting there and cruised over for a look..
Was very impressed with 'KILR B' orange show condition xb
but most of all a blue XA GT coupe 'MINTGT'
Went home and went through my street machine mags and found it on the cover of July 2005 issue
both great looking cars and good to see them out and about...
the shiney 6/71 blown 383ci and 295/65 rears had me salivating
Good work fellas

Damn, I was at Cronulla last night cruising around. Have you seen the big Police trucks driving around with "Public Order and Riot Squad" written on them? Crazy.

That use to be my car, I sold it to a guy in Sydney mid last year just after I had it in Street Machine. Good to see it is out and about getting used, hope he is looking after it.

PS if you want photo's I have heaps.

Cheers

I still can't believe you sold it Dean, the first time i saw it was when you drove it past a building site i was working on in Kilsyth 3 years ago, i stopped working and just stared, awsome.

Yeh me either, still I have a nice house now. I use to live in Kilsyth and drove it around a fair bit, I have just bought another XA Coupe (picking it up tomorrow night) so I will start on that one soon.

As you know, once you have owned one there stuck with you forever.

Thanks

Dean

thats one nice coupe

XRated · 19-12-2006, 10:17 PM

Easily one of my favourite Fords ever. It's a real credit to you mate.

WASP · 19-12-2006, 11:41 PM

That would have to be one of the nicest Fords we have on the road, and one hell of an XA Coupe. That would have been hard to let go, but I guess you can't always keep them all. I'm sure no doubt that your next coupe Dean will be equally as good, if not better.

Thanks guys, I picked up the new one last night, needs a lot of work but we'll get there in the end.

Cheers.

Hey Dean, Dad told me you had another Coupe, you picked one up fairly quickly, will be good to see another nice Coupe around the Area. Has the new one got much rust?

Hi Troy,
It has a fair bit of rust around the rear, Lower quarters, Taillight panel, sills etc. Luckily you can buy most of the rust repair panels for those area's, I spoke to your Dad and he said most of that stuff is not to bad of a fit so I'll go shopping after x-mas and get the panels.
Suprisingly under the Front windscreen and Guards, rear parcel shelf and floor are really good so that was a bonus. It's an XA which is also cool.

Cheers
