Driving from Melbourne to Horsham to go rock climbing I used to sit on under the tail of semi trailers for hours on end - they seemed to know what I was doing- really helped petrol reduction on Austudy- thanks Whitlam and the labour years...

Love early Cortina's. My first car was MkI GT-1500. I bought it from a friends Aunty of all people. It was straight & original but I had to get rust in the rear tyre well's cut out. That car did 115mph (down hill) as it was and used to go 'round corners on 3 wheels if you couldn't get the rear to slide.That is the car I probably miss the most out of some special Fords I have been lucky to own. Sold it to a bloke who destroyed it in a few months...I always loved MkII Cortina's, so different to Mk1. Don't remember seeing car companys do that very often, 2nd model completely different to the first.
