My names Brad and im a fordoholic.
I cannot see an old ford somewhere without wanting it and this is no exaggeration. If I find one I have to buy it and thats not the worse part. I cant seem to sell them Not that im asking to much for them. I just cant bring myself to do it. I live in a country area and travel all around for work etc. The whole time im scouring paddocks looking for old tin, I even find different ways to go through towns just incase I catch a glimpse of something haha. They dont even need to be in pristine condition. If theyre completely shagged and good only for parts I still get them. I usually only hunt for older stuff but if something late model comes up and I might be able to use something from it I snatch it up haha. Im lucky I have an awesome partner who accepts my problem and my parents own a farm so the ruff "parts cars" that are to far gone or arnt worthwhile fixing are there. Then at my house I can securely store 7 cars under cover out of the weather (4 in the shed, 3 under the carport to the side of my house) and out of site which keeps the boss happy At the moment at my house I have my xy sedan xp coupe soon to have my xy panelvan back there once its painted xl ute xp wagon xp parts car for my coupe my brothers xr wagon and my fathers xt sedan on our farm i have 2 xb panelvans 2 xd sedans an xe ute an eb sedan an ef sedan even a damn telstar that i got given to me and im just about to pick up another xl ute, another xp wagon and an xp sedan all for parts for the ones I mentioned above. DO I HAVE A PROBLEM?? (besides running out of space at my house to store them undercover haha) or are there others in the same boat. None of them are going at the moment, but being 25 im sure to have enough time to get them happening haha. Anyone else the same??
