I always wanted an E-Series, my first pick was an EL XR6 with the full Tickford kit.
But I'm very happy owning an EB XR6. I've never wanted a car that didnt have a Ford badge on it!

Wanted to get an el xr8 but was not allowed by parents for a first car on red p's, so had to settel with a el gli 6 on gas. Was determined to get a falcon though, as dad kept looking at little sardine can daypoos and toyolas during the car hunting process.

I wanted a VH V8 Commodore : I couldn't afford one back in 1998......thank god. I ended up getting my parents EA for $4k and never looked back. But now I wouldn't mind a VL-T or a VN SS just as a tough project car.

always wanted an ef sedan, (white or red would have been nicer) but I got a silver one instead.
I would love a few other cars ZH Marquis! = 351 clevo, FMX 9inch LSD. power seats, windows, steer. air con and that salivation causing clevo sound. EL GT (keep dreaming) BF MK 2 fairmont ghia, they are nice, but I doubt I will park my bottom in a b series any time soon. might get a wagon, since they are UBER usefull with moving and stuff.

I was after a TH (1999) 3.5L Magna Sports in manual, but the loan was not approved so had to make do with my $2k cash. Was no way gonna consider the early 2.6L "Astron" Magnas, and decided through some research that the EA/EB falcon was a much better choice than the VN/VP for the price, and one day saw the ad for an EA fairmont ghia here on the forums and a week later it was mine. :

I voted BA XR6 Turbo.
I wanted one when I got my P's but I was a poor 18 year old and knew for sure it was out of the question because I had no money and no-one was willing to buy one for me Sundeep |

When I picked up my XR6 I had the option of a VT Calais or a VT Berlina or the XR6. I chose the XR6 because it was a car that I would really enjoy and stands out compared to the other 2. But if there was a VS Clubbie or Senator for around the same price and in as good condition as mine I probably would have gone the HSVs

I really wanted a ZA/ZB/ZC as my first car, but my parents wouldn't let me buy anything that old as a first car...
Hence I bought the NC... got me hooked on e-series, and now I have the NF. I'll stick with it until I can get my hands on a Mustang/Torino/Fairlane GT Coupe...

Wanted an EL XR8, could have got some sort of AU or a base model BA for the same $$ but didn't appeal to me at all.

I REALLY REALLY wanted a Dodge Viper GTS Coupe...(or failing that, an RT/10 would have sufficed) and venom twin turbo kit would have been sweet. Or the current model Porche 911 Turbo (any Porche without boost is a Porche not worth having). Or an AE86 would be mad as fcuck, but the Tacumi tax sux and everyone would think I'm a tryhard...well...more of a tryhard :P Sadly, the top two are a little out of my budget, and the AE86 sucks at carying stuff around, so I don't really want anything else apart from an E-series, so I voted that E-Series FTMFW! |

I wanted an XD clevo, after i went for a ride in my mates one, then it came up for sale so i bought it... they just look so tough! (even in white)
But recently i wanted a second car, an AU mont was out of my budget, an wouldnt be caught dead in a pov-pack anything... so when an EL ghia came up for sale cheap (240,000 highway k's) i got it... Now the XD is the most reliable....go figure....grrrr....
