Scored a free EA! picking it up tonight!
Now... I always name my cars. I have an ED Ghia called "Monty" (original I know) a Landrover called "The Antichrist" (watch "the gods must be crazy" if you dont get this) and an old ford courier in 'paddock' condition called "the boong ute". My question to you is, what should I call this one? I'm stuffed for ideas?

Sp far the finalists are:
"Parts" (suggested by Bill_R) "Mutant" (suggested by eb_5litre) "Taxi" (suggested by eb_5Litre) Im not too fussed about the car... Im only going to drive it until it runs out of rego and then it will become a paddock basher. That is, if it starts at all when I get up there...

Mums ef wagon is called 'the old girl' dad used to have a BA xr6, named it the phantom. (guess what colour???!) Also used to have an AU which was 'the sloth'! It was sooo gutless and sluggish! My first corty was called the pterodactyl I think feebie is a good name for your car though

LMFAO!
Today was the day I was supposed to pick up the car. To tell you why I am laughing and crying at the same time... I need to tell the cars story. The car belonged to a friend of my mums. It was the spare car, and was rarely used. on Tuesday night it was stolen - and reported to the Police. Last night she recieved a call saying the car was at Newcastle, and she could come and collect it. As a busy working mum, she didn't have time to pick up what was essentially a burden, so she said that if we picked it up we could have it. The keys and rego papers were handed over, and off we went to Newcastle to collect our new beast. We went to the location the police said the car was at. ...No car. We spent an hour and a half scouring the streets for this car. In the end we gave up and went back to the police, who confirmed the location. SOME BASTARD STOLE IT... AGAIN! So now the car has been reported as stolen for the second time in a week... What are the odds!

It was supposed to be on the corner of Thompson and Griffith Streets in Charlestown... It was a "beige 89 Falcon" so Iassume it was an EA. Some things the owner said though lead me to believe it may actually have been an XF.

In light of your recent post...
An appropriate name for the 'missing' vehicle, if and when found should be... "FUTATIVE" da Falcon.....  :

hmm also good. You are making it hard to decide!
I know: If and when I find it, I will make a poll about what I should call it! Should I start a poll asking if I might find it? or maybe one placing bets on wether it is an EA or an XF? Oh I can hear the metallic thud of Caspers padlock of forum doom already!
