Well as a few of you know I sold the EA yesterday. Due to work commitments I need something with a bit more space to cart around tools and stuff. So I'm currently looking at getting a wagon which doesn't seem like the coolest car around but I've got to be practical
 : and it craps all over getting a van :P Plus I have a few ideas up my sleeve for down the track :Up_to_som Whether I go for Ford or Holden is yet to be decided lol! I'm sure a few of you will put forth your arguements of why I should stick with Ford again! Basically I'll be looking at getting either a BA or VT/X/Y Commodore. So whaddaya reckon? |

SS wagon would be ideal. Failing that, to go a Ford V8 Wagon you need to go back to AU3 (Fairmont was laready suggested). XR front and you have a Ford V8 with a good looking front and fairmont interior - lovely! If you really want a BA, I'd go the SS.

i agree with LG go for a ute, they look much tougher. But then if you really prefer a wagon over a ute go for that...BA wagons are always the best, VT isnt too bad either though.

DCStraight did up an EF or EL Fairmont into a Ghia, looked ace.
I'd go for and E-series as long as it's neat and low klms. Prefer v8 but turbo good mod for 6.

Anyone else reckon all the commy V6's are rubbish? Be fine for a cruiser but all the ones I've driven seemed really sluggish. All the BA 6 bangers I've driven on the other hand have been rocketships.
