gidday all

My First car was a 58 FC sedan olinda green and adobe beige and she was a Bertha and what a great car.!!!Then i waited another 12 years for my next  a grey and white 59  FC sedan which was named HADLY a take off of the original rego, then annother 4 years to 2000 for my next FC purchase which is Terraglow and adobe beige 59 Wagon and it has no name. Any suggestions?

What colour's Terraglow, Brett?  Sounds a bit earthy to me.

Brett,
I think "Terry" is the obvious choice here?

Now, with my family's cars, where do I start ???

OK, Dad's 48/215 is called Ben (after Ben Chifley), then Mum's VS became Bill ( Y'know, Bill & Ben the flowerpot men!).

My EH was christened George (Can't remember why), My FC is called Jean (After the original owner). My VX is called Jeniii (A variation on GEN111), Kathy's VT is called Sam the SS (But she also refers to him as her sexy, blonde boy that growls like a big pussycat  ::)), and young Baydon's EH is called Kenny after his Grandfather (deceased).

Then there's the cars that I don't have any more.......my EH wagon was always just known as "The Wagon", My EK was called Daffy (because it was black, and it used to make a quacking sound every time it boiled......which was often >:(), My FJ Ute was called Neddie (When trying to pull up with both feet on the brake pedal I used to say "Woah there Neddie"  ;D. My EH ute was called Greenie (because it was green  ;). Then there was the Blue EH wagon called BC (Nicknamed off the original number plate DBC 910). Dad had a HD which was always called "The Shitbox"  ;D. Dad also had an FJ Van which was known as Ol' Putter. Dad's current VS work ute is called "Wally Racing Team" (The rego number is WRT 540).

Then there was all the company cars I had (Not sure if I can remember all of these?) Sammy the Supercharged VT "S", the official olympic vehicle VT called "Syd", The VX called Suzi Q (cause it had a Q on the rego number), then there was Roger Rabbit (Can't remember why).


Well that's about all I can remember.

Cheers,

Graham.

my partner has dubbed my FC 'Bubbles', cause she reckons it got a nice "bubbly" shape, we had a laugh with the name throwing around a few more ideas then it just stuck,  she said that the name is sort of like an old exotic dancer/ stripper from the time, coming back from retirement for one last show ::) ::) . i just said it was mutton done up as lamb ;D. ( old body new paint, a bit of a nip and tuck, etc  )
hell i kinda like the name.

and no its got nothing to do with michael jacksons chimp!!!!

[Fast_Eddie]

I've always known mine as "The FC".

When it breaks down in the rain, runs out of petrol or I strip my knuckles working on it, I call it by its full name, not just its initials!  ;)

[kalfe]

hi all
mine is called FAITH
i have the plates ready to bolt on
restoration is going well all shelled out at panel beaters

[blacky]

Who is doing your panelwork? Is it up in Kal or have you sent it to Perth?

[surferboy]

gday kalfe
the ute doesnt need panelbeating....... it needs a gigantic bull bar & rollcage with 50 spotlights , 100 aerials, then add kenworth mudflaps,a window full of Bundy rum and B&S ball stickers, and a total lack of any exhaust............and a parking spot at the O.B.H. on a saturday night.  (i'd luv an aussie ute)

[Martin]

Wadda you guys mean?   Aren't side-burns still if fashion   ???

[Martin]

Kiwi's idea of an orgy: he has one ugg boot attached to each ear, and his tongue stuck in another.  I'll leave it to you imagination as to where the 4th one is.

Hey Martin,

Your getting the hang of this site real quick. You've reached junior status, you've posted pics and now you've burned the Kiwi!

Next you'll be a Guru.........  but that's another story.
