Some shots I've taken at All Ford Days in WA





















Some of the cruises with like minded turbo drivers, it's the mates that truly complete my love for my Ford.

heres a photo of the 1st day I got my Fairmont
was so happy and couldn't describe the feeling I got from just sitting in it
iwas up till 5am the next day reading the manual learning what everything did
then went to bed for a few hours and got back in and drove her all over the place




its never a good sight to c when a falcon is on back of a tilt tray but this is one of my most fondest memories not only from when I was living in brassy
but just cursing around with me mates in our AUSSIE FALCONS



we call this photo coolant lake and that's me good mate J-rod
turns out the fan came off and smashed crap out of the radiator





after the prang
took me all day to replace the front bumper
but well worth it




the falcon inspired trolley




my 1st AFD
