introducing myself and car :)

[fialstar]

hi there!
totally new to this site - to be honest, i've only just stumbled across it!
anyway, thought i'd better come in and introduce myself... my other half... and our car.

we're a couple who've recently moved to the waaaayyy way south from w.a., having driven across the country to relocate.
i'm a 40 yr old woman who's always had a thing for fords, and he's a die-hard 45 yr old ford man, who's owned a number of cars, but currently only has one.

the car:
an 1987 XF fairmont ghia,
with -windsor 351, 4V dart heads, EFI, solid cam, pacemaker extractors, mandel built custom exhaust, 4" tailshaft, toploader gearbox, hurst close-ratio shifter, ford 9" diff, pedder pumps, XE ESP suspension, lowered front end, phase 3 bonnet scoop, symmonds rims, all original as-new interior, custom tint.

this car exists because ford short-changed - expecting a V8 XF and not getting one!
so, he built it instead.

we also have a pretty good collection of 1:18 scale models ... all fords bar one (who knew moffat drove a holden!).

right, well that us into'd.
hopefully, we'll be around here for a while.... and look forward to getting to know a few here!
