Boosted Falcon

hey all...only juz found this site n didnt hesitate to sign up...im a die hard fan for anything ford (well nearly anything)...im only young but have been round cars all my life...i dont know all there is to know but im working on it.

as family tradition i got my first car bout 4 months ago..ford of course...it might not look like much to other people...but i love her with all my heart...she is my pride n joy!

she's an '93 EB II Farimont Ghia with only one other owner since new...she's been taken good care of...but is sick unfortunately...i haven't driven ehr for a good 2 months as we cant find the problem...so she stays off the road untill i can afford to get a mech out

here's a few pics...hope u like





full leather interior in pretty good nic







i so didnt buy it juz for the interesting plate
n yes its a completely stocker number plate lol i swear!


these pics are from the advertisment i found her in...but cam is broken so i'll get to better pics as soon as i can...maybe try n get her running first lol

enjoy!

thanx!!! lol yer trust me i would if i could...but its not even rolling down the hill its parked on atm...lol but eventually hopefully yer. number plate is the bomb aye lol i love it

its a 6....but it flogs my dad's v8 eb fairmont...so im happy...but i been driving an 8 since i got my licence...n for an everyday car i feel its overrated...i love givin it some on a nice stretch as much as anyone...but its juz too costly to run everyday...so im happy wit my 6...

lol dude the only mod imaiming for at the moment is gettin it running....even that could be a problem...so all plans are on hold till it actually starts again

awesome +1 for more qld members nice car.

Really?? I've owned an ED 6 and 8 (both manual) and found both to be VERY similar fuel economy. You must put your foot down more in the 8

Wheels are 16's (i think)

lol you caught me....i do...oth mine n my dad's are auto...but yer....his isnt running to well at the moment so its using way more than it should...but yer the first week i was driving my car i was shocked at how much less petrol i was using...even when i was gunning it (it was a new car...had to stretch its legs!) lol but yer it was considerably noticeable

dont matter what car you have, if you start gunning it you will get bad econmy out of it, my car gets hardly driven, but on short trips to the shop in such i have a lead foot and go through a tank easy, but on long trip's i go easy and get great econmy out of it. same with my mums kia.

yea i realise that...but on my drive to work which is like a 40 min drive i go so easy on the car its not funny....n it still guzzles more than when im gunning mine....

well then somthing is wrong with it! maybe you should put a BA engine in it????

lol yer thats petty much an understatement.......n a half......
yer i doubt anything will ever be done to my dad's car...it only gets fixed if its off the road...if its still running...there apparently is no problem...i beg to differ but its not my car...

still looks tops though! lol and the plates are funny.

lol yer buts thats my car in the pics....thats the 6 wit the economy i was talkin bout lol (cept its not running at all atm ) the v8 wit the bad economy is my dad's white eb fairmont...lol

but thanx anyways
