Default The Simple Pleasures ..

I said it once ill say it again , I Love Driving the AU .

Cruising to Work you see people farting around in litlle 1.8 and 2.0 cars trying to save that extra $4 for petrol , or the Odd 'Uleh" in his VL trying to get to Centerlink on Opening time ,

And i sit back in the Comfy Seats and Think , Thanks Ford for building such a Unique car that makes others look like filth !

Cheers
Daniel

Im not saying other Fords are Filth but other Car Companys are Filth IE Holdens or Datsuns lol :

That is a problem, but the best thing is the big back seat for when she wants to do some driving herself!!

OR

Reclining the passenger seat all the way back is fun too!

Actually, when you put the front seats all the way forward, there is plenty of room to pop the bonnet and play with her engine.
