Default Australia Day & old Fords & Holdens.

One of the more important days in our calender imo, so yesterday we took the old XE ESP for a drive down the New England Hwy to Newcastle. It's about a 1 1/2 hour drive from our home in the Hunter Valley, beautiful summer day & a great day to give the old 351 a bit of a run.
What absolutely blew me away was the amount of older Fords & Holdens on the road yesterday & even more than usual FPV GT Falcons. I came across a beautiful XY GT Falcon along the way, arm out the window to each other with a friendly wave, XB coupe around Maitland, XK etc. etc. & also a swag of older Holdens.
I must say I have never felt so proud to drive a good old Aussie Falcon as I did yesterday. To all those who were out there yesterday in there new or older Fords & Holdens, well done. I enjoyed seeing both red & blue out there loud & proud on Australia Day. By the way, the old XE never missed a beat all day which is great for a 32 year old car.
It is going to be a sad sad day when these things are no longer going to be built in this great country!
