[Pinch]

Hi all

My name is Pinch and I am from 'The Shire' in Sydney.

Whilst I have owned a lot of steers in my short time, I gotta real soft spot for the Blue Oval.

I currently have a BA XR6 daily driver, but last week, for reasons still to become clear, I bought a NC2 Fairlane Ghia Sportsman.

I started checking out this (cool) site just checkin stuff about the Sportsman. Well done to all involved in the site.

The BA is pretty stock apart from upper and lower Precious Silver grills, Ghia interior lighting (thanks to the Premium audio loom) and a cold air intake.

The Sportsman was picked up last week for 2.5 large, and I am impressed, drives like new!

It has the 161kw Tickford motor and it must have Tickford suspension (and no SLS) cause something that big just SHOULDN'T handle and steer that well!!! All straight and clean and everything works except the horn and ciggie lighter (so I will trawl through the tech threads for clues). Having trouble finding the right tow bar too, wreckers keep giving me wrong wagon ones or something (anyone have any pics?) It has a LTD grille and emblem and only 202K. Not sure what I want to do with it (apart from tow a little boat when the missus has the XR) but I saw it and had to buy it, with the axing of the 'lane and that - I was pretty sad. Never actually had a LWB before, so I thought now or never.

Anyways, that's me and the steers. Love the site and keep up the good work.
