Perhaps, as Ford fans, to preserve the bran, we should consider a chip in fund to buy and crush this thing?
Like I said, Demolition derby coming up. Park her up, no need for the big target on her. Ugly enough for anyone to want to hit it.

While the basic Ford Six was code named Barra, the Turbo version clearly deserved its very own moniker – again enter Gordon Barfield.
We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about.
“Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”.

A busted fairlane is always going to be a fail. Another poor AU lost to idiocy.

IMO, dumped cars on stockies in general.
Also IMO, dumped cars on stockies that are filled with idiots that floor-it in peak hour traffic on Kings Road.

Ahh Kings Way. I would agree with you as I know that road very well (work office used to be there ). There are always heroes along that road despite cameras at most of the intersections. I can imagine how it was a fail if their in person.

The XK was put up there by a crane years ago, i have the same pic (plus a couple more shots) in a book somewhere with the story. I could be wrong but i think it eventually fell out, or was lifted out before it fell, but it was a bit of a tourist attraction for awhile....
