Always have and Always will love fairlane's. There have been 5 in the family over the years, It's the only car my mum would drive. and i ended up with an AU as my first car.

I have a soft spot for ZH Fairlane 500's and Marquis. Id own a decent one anyday, modify it to suit my tastes and enjoy cruising around in the big sled.
But I dont like the LTD versions of this model.

I dont mind most of the earlier Fairlanes from '82 back, not that Id go out of my way to own one, but I do like em, and ratty ones make awesome parts cars...

Love them, favourite shapes being NC, NF/NL and BA.

I wish I could love AU lane, but that ugly front bumper and ugly AU interior (think door handles, dash) kills it for me.

Picking up a ZK 302 shortly. So reading up on the old threads to deal with the enthusiasm.

My G220 is still my favourite drive, just a damn shame she got pretty severely hail damaged a while back and I haven’t done anything about repairs yet.
