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

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

That died, so I thought stuff it, ill get something half decent. Looked around, and almost brought an AU2 Futura. It wasn't half bad, but for the same money I got an EL Ghia with heaps of good standard stuff.

Now I need a ute, I was looking at XH's but people want crazy money for something thats really povo, so Ive found two utes at the moment that I REALLY want, but I have to off load my Ghia first (someone buy it God damn it!...although someones coming next week).

IM after old school now, petrols only going to get more expensive, so Ill enjoy some v8 goodness now rather than later.

$12k I think not! Wouldn't give him $8k even, as these two below are just as good.

http://www.carpoint.com.au/used-car/...aspx?State=VIC

That one is my favorite at the moment.

Finally this one is tough aswell.

http://www.carsales.com.au/used-cars...ype=2&trecs=25

Like I said, guaranteed they will be gone by the time I sell :(

My problem is I like all types of cars, small and large, but you can keep your commies, dont mind pre-commie holdens though.

Oh yeah the poll, none of those options are for me.
The second 2 are nice, but the first XE sucks.

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.

You mean the bit where it gets SLAYED by the AE86? :P

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....
