Postby eb-baby » February 14th, 2008, 2:55 pm

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 :cry:

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 :cry:

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 ;)

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.
