I'm not sure if anyone on here was at Wagga Nats in 1988..
If you were this might bring back a few memories.. Typical news saying that it was a lot worse then it was.. Anyway enjoy.. |

Language warning. I don't get offended by someone swearing, but if you do and plan to watch these videos I strongly suggest you press mute from the get-go.
Imagine what doesn't get recorded.... |

Bit of an acco and following confusion around the late five-minute mark.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCJV2WwMoT0 The channel has pinned a comment by the driver at fault. A salutary lesson in how to admit mistake and apologise - good on him. |

The "Vehcor" channel on YT has another good repair underway, side hit on a GMC crew cab that's worse than it first looks.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMg...able_polymer=1 If you want tatts, thrashy music, bandanas, sunnies, fake bonhomie, this is not your channel! Just steady-paced repairs spread over several weekly episodes. |

I note the June 2019 YouTube compilation for DCOA features a number of Fords both prominently and ignominiously. :-/

This is what youtube is all about, fast becoming a classic.....
Watching baldy go down like he's taken a head shot cracks me up, that'll teach him for showing off to the ladies ![]()

Just opened up YT for the final chapter of Vehcor's Yukon rebuild, and whammo! An eighteen minute advert for financial planning, starring Peter Garrett. Oh wait, it's actually Michael Klim.
The actual video is probably only 26 minutes. Maybe if I click on a financial planning video they'll "force" me to watch a twenty minute prelude of car repairs first? |

Try watching this clip all you true blue Ford fans and owners without getting emotional . I defy you to.
I love watching it but it makes me sad in a way too . This is my favourite Ford Falcon tribute and the song almost sounds like it was written especially for the video clip if you listen carefully to the lyrics . It wasn't of course . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwZYw35JkJY ... As we drive more and more boxy imported nondescript vehicles as the years pass ..let us lucky buggers that got the chance to experience and enjoy the mighty Ford Falcon across 56 years in about 23 model runs recall some great cars we called our own . Ironically Holden claim "Australia's Own" car but in reality after 1971-72 by far the Aussie bred Falcon was more so Australia's own . Probably why so many of us will enjoy our old dinosaurs for many moons yet until they finally disappear in the memory banks . Be a while yet though I suggest .
