Show me yours, and I'll show you mine.

I know that I'm a newbie to these excellent forums and have relatively
little experience/advice to share, but now I get to wade into
this thread whole heartedly!!

This is my old girl, a 1968 HR, 161,
3 on the tree and Drums all round!

Classic not plastic.

Can anyone else beat 35 years old?

[rob_tassie]

I got an ole XE that drives like its 35 years old. does that count?

One limitation that everyone except ozwinner falls prey to...

None of them will take a ton in the back and even the ole 1 tonner wont comfortably take a trail bike. Oh, they will fit, but not easily...

LONG LIVE THE "F"SERIES YOOT!!!

Drool dribble envy.

Hows it drive Oz? And would you make the same buy again? What options did you choose?

Have owned both "found-on-rubbish-dumps" and "hope-our-luck-doesnt-end-now"s but have been in love with the F100s and brethren for years. The F250 cas to be cream of the crop!

Hi Rob
It drives like a b'yooty.......sorry couldnt help that.
But seriuosly it drives better that most cars. I had an old one before this one, a 1988 ex ambo with a tray.
The only thing I miss is the extra room of the tray.
Options, I went for one with the lot, XLT that is, if ya gona do it do it right. you probably only gona get one shot at it.
Nothing like a nice drive home in comfort, after a long hard day in the salt mine.
Only thing ford forgot was the CD player, its not even optioned,
oh, and the go faster red colour I wanted.
Cheers, Al

[rob_tassie]

Nice one! XLT is a good package.

5.4 or the big diesel?

[ozwinner]

Hi Rob
Nah, I only went for the SMALL 5.4l, instead of the 7.3l turbo deisel.
Was down your way recently,( Labour day ) went to Hobart for a long weekend, cant wait to get back, the sea food was, was, was,mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Also enjoyed the locals, and the whole area.
Cheers, Allan

[ozwinner]

Me again
Rob, we was thinking about doing the Tass trip in summer, this time I'll bring me yoot so as I can load up with some Tassie goodies.
Do you have any suggestions, as for the trip? ( Apart from dont come down here raiding all our good stuff) .
Maybe I can bring some timber from the north island, we could do a swap?
Cheers, Allan

[rob_tassie]

Hey, oz, funny thing about electronic images but i'd swear the ute you have pictured is steel grey not red (?) Must be time for another eye test

Yeah, the seafood is great. I recommend 'Muirs' down on the docks. They do a realy nice feed of scallops. Drunken Admiral is worth a look too, but a little dear...

Its justa pity its been so cold lately, still at least the mountain is pretty, all snowcapped. Makes a great view from the back yard!

[ozwinner]

Hi Tas
We went to Muirs, couldnt see the ghost though,
Also went to Ball and Chain for steak.......mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ( here I go again).. steak. ( insert alsorts of Hommer noises Here.........)
Was wet when we went, but realy enjoyed it.
Actualy it was nice and unusual to see rain, and me from Vic, lol.
Cheers, Al

[rob_tassie]

LOL yup, whittlesea isnt that far outta Melboune izzit? Still, ANY outta Melbourne is a good thing if you ask me.. Good fishing down your way... Taken the odd tailor or two, hmm, and salmon also. Never did get that big pinky though....

[ozwinner]

Cheers, Al

I suppost that Whittlesea isa bit far fromt he Triton factory, otherwise I would say pick up a couple of seconds for me... As for coming down again, when?

There are a couple of great go-see things that I can suggest if you are interested. Like boats? Good museum here...

[rob_tassie]

I think, mebbe, in my earlier post I must have been thinking of anglsea or something. I thought Whittlesea was down towards Phillip island or something for some reason.... :confused:
Too long since I lived there (mid 90s) and that out in Laverton, which would explain why I dont like the place.... LOL

[ozwinner]

There is a place calles Whinchelsea, which near G'long.
The ( truppets dah, dah, dah daaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! )
TRITON factory isnt that far from here , only as far from you to Launceston......lol.
I'll let ya know when Im comeing, so as you can send me your wish list.
Cheers, Allan
