When my AU wagon is done, then I start on the much more challaging AU. The coupe.

Where is the option for buy another AU? Or upgrade to a T Series.

The AU isnt going and, if by chance the accident from hell happens, T3 is next in the garage.

Don't think the AU ute will ever go. However, next car, when the money turns, up will be a new manual pursuit ute, and the AU will be taken off the road and turned into the project car.

So i kinda need to tick the first two options there.

Cheers

I've been giving this some thought lately, as the AU has pretty much assumed the role of work hack, and the interior isn't what it usd to be.

I'm seriously thinking of going for a 300C diesel next time. BA/BF just doesn't do it for me, and I think I would wind up slashing my wrists if I ever bought a Holden, even though the VE Calais is the logical choice atm.

That being said, I'll probably keep the AU as well. It's a good work car, its now on LPG, and I enjoy driving it. Still got some engine work planned in 2007.

BF Tornado but I would much rather prefer to put it next to the AU, not in place of it.

There is no "cry" option....

The Pursuit 250 will not be leaving, but the XR8 sedan will probably be going one day when it decides it has had enough and throws tantrums that cost way too much to fix. Then we will probably get whatever the current model Ford is at the time.

Until then, long live the AU!

I would love a BFII XR6 turbo.

I would would love a Territory turbo.

Still can't afford them, still love the AU's, still can't justify the change over.

That said I'd like to add a T3 to the Ford stable.
