The Wiggo's Have A New Ride

[Wiggo]

Well it may not mean much some of you but the days of the Bongo van are numbered after 8yrs. ;)

We got a newer car today. :D

[Olie]

nice.

is it an EU? (dont know my ford codes too well)

what model (falcon, fairmont.. etc.)

[Wiggo]

It's a 1995 EF Falcon GLi. ;)

[Beefy]

very nice wiggo.. very nice indeed... :)

[Wiggo]

The best part was the $9k aus pric tag. :D

[Kay]

Problem is my backside feels as if it is dragging along the ground in it ;) but on the plus side..........no squeaks, rattles groans and it has air conditioning.........other than rolling windows down, it doesn't seem to have rust, it actually goes when you start it, and doesn't seem to need encouraging words..........oh yes it does have a radio too

[pdv]

Congrats Wiggo & Co..........Nice wagon

Now tell me you didn't still have a Bobgo van that went/
goes. You must be lucky or a bloody good mechanic

:D :D :D :D

[Kay]

Yes Vanessa still goes...........very slowly and with a lot of tlc...........no maintenance but lots of encorouging words

[Wiggo]

Yep it still goes but age won't get it thru another rego inspection but its headin' out on a property just to be a paddock bus. ;)

I remember travelling around years ago & seeing many peaple attempting to fix them,even towed 1 into some small town once

:D

She is a bit camera shy now...........she doesn't look her best anymore........after all she is 20 years old now, vintage material in car years ;)

[Wiggo]

Well its a faded yellow high top one with some funny Ford Spectron badges on it but the sunroof has about rusted away. :(
Plus 1.6L 4's luggin' a family over to the other side of the mountains and back again is gamblin'. :eek:

Still in charactor with the EA's though and I had the 5sp EFI job before kids and 3 blown disks but must put up with a slushbox now with my legs. :(
But the 5 sets of rears tyres in the 1st year of ownership was a bit much on the wallet. :eek:
