Nice to hear you finally get a V98 (or sort of) mate.............

We've got a BF MkII XT (parents), VS Ute (dads work hack) and my XR8, so I guess you could say we are a Ford mob.

We've been fairly mixed over the years, with Holdens, Fords, Datsuns, Mitsubishis, Mazdas etc

Current cars

Dad's cars- TE Cortina & VL Calais 5L
Me- VL SL
Brother- VL Executive
Mum- Ford Laser

More of a VL family really.

Though most of my immediate family drive Fords.

My three year old daughter insists on being dropped off to pre-school in "mum's" xr6t (Not "dad's 4wd). If you ask her to go pick something out to wear shopping etc - its her Craig Lowndes shirt.
Yes, blue blood all through my family too. zephyrs, falcons and escorts.

My ol' man drives a Mitsu challenger, fully equiped with a mark2 zephyr badge on the tailgate. Only he would know why...
