Hi Stinky, knew that one should be pretty easy for you to find in the SMASA archives - back in it's original condition days pre 1989. The one in the background was mine and the ex's two tone blue V6FC - don't know where it ended up - he sold it after I left. I was more worried about having to leave my windowless FE van behind - fortunately John and I bought it again (by pure accident) last year.  There's probably not too many pics of my car at any shows. I personally like to drive - not show - cars. I like the freedom of arriving when I want and leaving when I want – that’s why you will usually see my baby in the car park. I’ve had too many years of being stuck at shows, after spending days/weeks polishing and prepping. Also spent too many days cleaning the underside of the ex's car (the "train") after having driven it interstate for shows before he arrived later to help set it up for shows. Aaah - I don't really miss it at all. Let me drive 'em - that's where the real enjoyment is. Will post some pics of “NosFEratu” and “VanHelsing” when I get a chance. Might even throw one up of the “58” to whet your appetite! Still reeling from this morning …. Kathi (aka NosFEratu  ) |

Looking forward to the pics.
Sounds like you have some interesting cars in your past as well as your present.
When you talk about "the Train", are you refering to Midnight Express?
I saw the ME at the 5th Street Machine Nats in Canberra in '82.
That van had/has the best murals ever placed on a car in Australia.
A work of art!!!
Regards
Alex

and the winner for correctly guessing the latest cryptic clue is ......... CustomFC Like I said, been round a lot of car shows in my younger years! And yep, I spent many days polishing them thar murals to bring them up to scratch for shows seeing as it was driven regularly. And yes, they were, and still are a great work of art! NosFEratu |

I've not seen the black with red interior combo on an FE/FC before, but it's much more "common" on FJs..... There are a few more pics of your car floating around from something called "Tanunda cruise"   |

Hi Hewart This is getting a little embarassing!  Yep, you will usually see it at the Valley Rodders "Cruise On" on the Saturday night. It's a great night - they block off the main street at 4pm and line it with cars. This year's street party had a phenomenal amount of cars and people there - it was little cooler than usual so I guess that helped. Anyone who is over here in SA on the 3rd Saturday night in January should check it out - they do have a complete weekend event but we normally just go out there for the Saturday night. It's a great show of cars and I highly recommend it to all. I am getting sprung good and proper - aren't I ?? I am humbled (and no, I'm not joking) that you and Stinky (and maybe some others) have thought enough of my car to take some photos. Thanks  NosFEratu |

Thanks NosFEratu If you didn't drive it so much and put it in a few shows there'd be heaps more photos Love the car, I reckon if you were at the Nats you might have clinched a trophy or three, if not a Top 10. Now start up a thread in the "Real Cars" section before I start one for you  |

Well, have a look here - the one at the start of this thread has re-appeared on e-bay and it's through a car dealer now! Can't remember what it went for last time though! Ebay Item #230254085907Kathi |

Just checked - went for $6,101 last time! Nice little profit of around $1,400 if he gets the start price! Kathi |

THe other one, the original, was bought by the guy who I just bought the white FE from. He always wanted a black one and sold the other to finance it.
Going in circles....

Yeah, makes you wonder - like the white one is going to end up on the other side of the planet!

Hi Paul Hey, it's exciting! I can well understand his enthusiasm! It's not only a fun experience for him but he's got "bragging rights" - it's for his son and it's gonna go half way round the world! Hope your dad's road trip goes well and that he, and the car, get home safely and in one piece! Kathi |

Hi Paul Hope your dad's road trip goes well and that he, and the car, get home safely and in one piece! Kathi Paul, Be very, very wary if your Dad says that he smashed it up and it is no good to send to you anymore. Demand indelible proof that it is indeed your car. You never know but you may just have bought dear old Dad a nice car.  Cheers M |
