Damn that is a nice example !! I can't stop looking at it. Hay correct me if i'm wrong but I'm sure I read in another thread that you have never owned a FB worthy of being a trailer queen. Um..... WHAT DRUGS ARE YOU ON ???? that thing looks absolutely stunning. I'm with most people though, cars are built to be driven and driving them is why we build them in the first place. But still, I bet there would be more then a few people out there that would trailer a car of this quality.

Hi FB-Wannabe, thanks for your kind words. I do feel lucky to own the car & even though it's not my favourite colour scheme it has been growing on me since posting pics on the site. It is amazing how other peoples impressions effect ones thoughts.

That's it Mick...you heard it...It's trailer worthy....

Geez the guys at Hunter Holden must of had a coronary when they saw that old girl pull into the driveway, they all would of had to go back to tech for a refresher course on how to work on real cars.

I can picture it now;
Foreman yells to his Service guy!.... "Grease and oil + plugs and points!"

Service Guy.................." whats a Greez and what in the $*#@ are points"

maybe you'll be able to see what that colour looks like on a wagon soon

or simular to it but it'll be flat, with a shinny blueprint roof and if i get some FB moulds bluprint in the flash
