"without doubt the fastest car I've ever been in" is what I get most of the time.

One time driving over to my mates house, he was already outside waiting for me and I was like "How long have you been waiting outside for?"
He said " I heard you coming so I walked outside in anticipation" And one time waiting at the lights somewhere in the outskirts of Ballarat, a molested BA XR6 (Dumped at the back only, stockies on the back 20"s on the front) pulled up next to me and looked at my EB as if I was trash. In Ballarat there is sort of some gangish thing called the "westies" that usually come from Wendouree west, usually a very rough bunch, well these people were what you could relate to being westies. His passenger laughed at me and just kept glaring. So when the light turned green I planted my foot down as did he and his face when I tore off from the lights would've been hilarious. I went from 0-80 and by the time I hit 80 I was a car length and a bit in front of him, then stayed there as that was the speed limit. They (trying to regain some of their self esteem) just took off. Made my day and I couldn't stop laughing :P |

Without breaking the law, I had a couple of young guys in a VX 225 Clubsport pull up next to me yesterday. I was following the guys for a few kms through town and could see the poor guy struggling with the manual gearbox in the low gears. Anyway he pulls up next to me at a set of lights with a slight bend in my favor. His mate starts looking over at my stock rocker BA Xr6 and giggles to himself and while looking directly at me said something like " piece of **** ford " He begins to ref it hard, the lights change, I take off, as does he... heres the poor kid two car lengths back struggling to find second, or whatever he was looking for, he couldn't find. |

On cruises, it's known as the STUPID TAXI. An Ex taxi shouldn't be the quickest car in the group, every time. lol. Dosen't go down well with people in "Quick" japers. Go the Ex cabs out there, in the world!!!!!!

And another time in Ballarat, after dropping off my partner at work at 6:30am, I was just cruising back to her house when I pulled up next to a VR or VS commodore, dumped at the back on stockies and he floored it from the lights.... all I saw was a bucket load of smoke get dumped from his exhaust, oh Ballarat P-platers, how you make me laugh. |

What most people say. Hey is it a geniune? Hey is it a 351?
Answer to both, no. Most of the times I get people offering me to buy coupe parts off them. Clearly I have all the parts I need but will still have boots bonnets doors offered at ridiculous prices.

In the past 6mths...
Random chick as I'm parking my car at the shops..."Wow, nice car!" Guy at the servo counter..."Like your wheels mate" Random guy walking past staring at my car..."Is that a BOSS?" And finally, some guys leaving a bottle shop at night, and one of them says, "ahh, it's only a BOSS 260"

One Saturday night, several years ago, cruising back home from a SMASA cruise, (Adelaide), I decided to go through the CBD, in my XA coupe, (429 Super Cobra Jet equipped, with Nitrous) Cruising down Frome road, by the hospital, this young tool, in a VQ Statesman, (VN Type) is right on my rear bumper, this made me a tad nervous, so I squeezed the throttle, ever so gently, to get to get a bit of distance between us. This jerk thought I wanted to race, so he mashed his throttle ( probably kicking down a gear) and started sticking on my bumper again. At the next set of lights, he pulls up next to me, puts his front left window down ( power windows too, WOW, I'm impressed) and says, '' If you really want to go fast, put a Chev in it!) I reply to him '' What kind of Chev engine is in yours?'' bozo replies, '' 5 litre, better than your 302 POS!!'' I shake my head, and tell him, his engine isn't a Chev and mine isn't a 302, I also tell him, that if he wants to race me, follow me to a quiet back road and put some money on it ($100). No surprise, he chickened out. My parting words were ''Have a nice night boy racer, come back when you're a man!'' As I was turning left.

About the Territory....nothing from outsiders. It blends into the background like elevator music! Once inside though it always gets nice things said about the leather, DVD etc.
About the ute, lately it's been people trying to figure out my number plate, recently dragged out of storage, B00 05T. A decade ago, on a much lesser car that shall remain forever nameless,everyone knew what it meant. Now people think I sell fruit smoothies in shopping malls......

My favorite was...
A guy pulled up behind me at a petrol station in north eastern Sydney driving a brand new (2010) Subaru STI , and said, "wow, nice car... what is it?" I replied, "its a Falcon". He then asked "wow, so its the new one then, it looks awesome!". I laughed and said "sorry mate its a 2004 BA". His confused face suggested to me that he needed more info, so I told him "that it looks just like an FPV". That must have meant something to him, and he cracked a big smile and said it looks tough and went and filled his STI. It was a nice feeling.

In my old BA XR6, with full exhaust system, a bloke tried to tell me I was a smart a**e because I had put XR6 badges on a worked XR8...
I didn't know how to explain how I managed to fit the boss under the XR6 bonnet. And with the G6ET, oh they are slow because they don't have LSD...er
