Hi all, well Mick and I have had quite a few cars over the years. So I will start back in the early 80's when I was 15 and Mick was 17 with our first car.
Ford Falcon XC
Our next one
Black FJ
Then we swapped the FJ for this
Ford Falcon XY GT Phase 111 look alike. It had everything except the compliance plate. We stupidly sold the XY to move out of home.
After quiet a few years, a move to Canberra and a couple of kids we purchased this from Goulburn
Red FJ Special. We then again stupidly sold this one to get a racehorse. Bad mistake learnt.
After a while we decided to look for another FJ. Went to a property in Murrumbateman to look at a shell and found this next to it.
Holden FE Special Wagon. The one Zulu has now. He purchased it off me.
Then we found this one over the other side of Canberra
Holden FC Special Wagon. We started to fix this one up.
We also found this one just out of Canberra on a property going towards Sydney.
Another Holden FC Special Wagon
Well we sold all them, regretting it now.
Then Mick found this and bought it.
Holden FB Special.
The couldn't get it to go so he sold it to a friend. That friend didn't pay so we got it back. Then sold it again to a guy not too far away. Went back there about a year ago to see if he still had it and bingo, there it was. Sitting in his garage for the past 10 or so years. The guy put a reconditioned motor and gearbox in it. Mick asked him if he wanted to sell it and he said yes that he needs the money. So we got it back for nearly the same amount as it got sold for with a new motor. Yay.
This is when it came back last year.
My passion for old holdens came back and we purchased this one off Ebay from QLD.
Holden FC Special sedan. It wasn't in as good condition as we were told but we will use it as spare parts.
Then we found this one on Ebay in Canberra and bought it straight away.
Holden FC Special sedan.
Oh and this is me. I haven't got any of me with my car as yet.
Well I hope you enjoyed reading my story.
Cheers
Janette
