Talking Street Fords Mag Cover

What a weekend, on Friday afternoon I'm in a newsagency checking out the car Books & on the cover of street Fords is My Xa gt coupe. They had taken the pictures a couple of months ago, but I didn't know when it would come out. : I had a few of my cars in magazines before but never a cover & the story was pretty good as well. Some off the other mags have just created a lot of BS to go with the pictures ,but not street fords .Well done guys.

There a story on My cobra as well.

Saturday off with the WA GT falcon club to Lane Ford show & shine @ Mandurah. That was agreat event . Had a fantastic day & met a heap of new people.
Picked up peoples choice award : : Thank to all those responsible for such a great day. Then headed up to big als to check out the great cars

What a weekend for a car nut like me :

Well done bro, got to be proud of that, walking up to the counter to buy a magazine with your Falcon on the Cover.
Did you drive the Falcon to the Newsagent, because thet would have top it off just nicely

Congratulations, if my memory serves me correctly you posted a video of this on the road a few years ago, quite impressive.

hahaha you mean you didnt like the fact your wife who owns the car was mentioned in the article in Street Machine in Sept 1997 issue of owning the car,wasnt it given to her by her previous husband after you sold it in 1985 to him??

Now you have hidden the car from her and are bullshitting to everyone you own it!

Remind us how much did you ever buy it for and when of her ?
