How did you get attached to e-series cars

[335JET]

just curious, what made you love e-series cars,
ill go first-
When i was 7 years old, i watched my first v8 supercar race-Bathurst 94, EB Falcon won the great race
My old neighbour used to give me joy rides in his EA MPFI fairmont which was bloody quick
The last falcon to win Bathurst was an EL which is what i drive today, only its a i6.

um always like them because they are Ford...lol

Very basic but stylish shape that looks good lowered with some rims, and in my price range as well.

for me it was the day my old man toldd me he would never own an ea

he is a mechanic with 45 yrs experiance

well a few yrs after that he bought an ea and never had a complaint about it
he still drives it now i also have had more dare i say it holdens than fords but the fords have it for me now

i have had an ea. Now i drive an el so i went from one end of the scale to the other but i like all in between

[snypereb]

Time-less looks always been a fan mum and dad own an eb and an ef!!!

[mcflux]

I used Tarzan's Grip instead of KY

[LUXO_8]

i just like the style, quality feel of the car instead of the cheap / flimsy feeling of the commodore

i was a holden boy first...at about 13-15 then became a ford man wen the old boy got a ba xr6....realized how much better they wer then i saw the perth e series site and say veeate eb....damn thats 1 nice car.."if i mite add"
then i got an ea....great car in my opinion...not the greatest mind you...(damn ИИИИ centre console)

[Stevo]

I couldnt stand the ugly things. But when i met Leah she owned the EF Ghia and i grew to love it. I always loved pre80's cars, and hated power windows, air con, etc etc. Now i doubt i could live without it

[TIKFD6]

I remember then EA and VN coming out together, and thats when i fell in love with the EA shape.
Then in 1992 when i saw a Spy pic in motor mag of an ED XR, man that thing looked horn.

love e cos it was the return of the v8.

[Poetic Justice]

Loved the EL Fairmonts, and not a whole lot else in the E-Series, my dad had a heritage green 98 fairmont was mint as, and i loved it until he traded it for his AU, which I acquired a while ago and then sold it heh.

I got an EL as my second car,had that for a year and treated it like poo.

Am about to get another EL ghia (5.0 this time), just love the cheapness, and the potential to make them look HOT.

[snapnscooter]

My first car was an '67 XR Falcon wagon. Then I switched to Holdens for years.
Then Holden started making Commodores. Back to Falcons (xe, xf) again.
I don't know that I love my EA, but it's better than the alternative.
I wish I still had the XE.

[InitialD]

I use to HATE EA's with a passion. Also hated XF's (Had one aswell)

Needed a car that had reg and drove, got a Ex taxi EA on lpg with reg for $700 off john_xr6's old man and since then ive had 7 including wrecks....

[302 Fairmont]

Im a 3rd year apperentice at a ford dealership. I see them everyday, they are just the best go forever and a day..., even the youngest E series is getting onto 8 years old now, and they are just holding up so well providing they have been looked after. And they look a treat plus they haul *** even the 6 pot has 60 odd nm over the commo 6 STOCK hehe

No way you just got jealous because your missus (me) car has more balls than your ricer mobile :P lol jks thats right I can still say that coz you dont have your V8 Fairmont yet aww still luv ya

[Grechie]

wen i turned 18 n got my license my brother gave me this car, i LOVED this car wen he had it and he knew i wanted it., but it was CFI and 3 speed, , ohh how ive transformed it;)

[Rmyers]

My parents handed down my EA to me. Was never really "in love" with them until the day I saw Turbo tonies car for the first time about 4-5years ago. Seeing Bass crazies car then sealed the deal

[EA2BA]

Well I have only had Fords, so my last car was an XF Fairmont, the EA Ghia was just the next step, spose an EL V8 Ghia should be next ......... hehehehehe

[TUFED6]

I was all set to buy an R31 Skyline when I got my ED ~7 years ago. But it was pretty cheap ($11k), had low km's and was a factory 5 speed. Then I was impressed that it could chirp 3rd (14in stockies!)- so I was sold on it.

I'm not attached to my E-series. Infact, at the moment I hate my E-series.

[fiery]

I fell in love with the E-Series cars when I got my first EF XR6 but then had to get rid of it and didn't buy another one for a few years....
There is just something really sexy and HOT about these cars (EF/EL in particular for me)....... love my car!!!!!!!!! :

I bought my last EB cos it was cheap and I needed something to put my turbo on.

I dont get attached to cars anymore. Im a car slut.

[4.9 EF Futura]

I strolled into a car yard, looking for a VT exec or an AU forte... something "practical" lol. Spotted a grey ef sitting over in the corner, had just been detailed and was waiting to go out onto the lot... lowered, mags.... 5.0L badge.

Had a look see... poke around under the bonnet... got the dealer to fetch the keys... started the engine up and that was that. Heard that windsor burbling away at idle and i was sold. Hook, line and sinker.

[Paris Hilton]

always wanted a vl turbo, then saw slowea and went screw that, ea please.

[sphell]

I was kinda forced into it I guess....I really only started getting into cars when I was about 18 when I had to buy my first car. I was gonna get a VB Commodore with a reco'd 253 V8 in it. A guy up my street was selling it, it sounded tough but when Dad and I looked at it, there was rust all in the sills. Anyway, mum and dad were gonna get rid of their EA and said I could have that for 4g (they were worth about 6g at the time). So I bought the 88 EA GL and my bank balance was never the same since ;) Spend so much money on that car....ah the memories ;) At least it went to a good home, another dude in the club owns it now ;)

[Walkinshaw]

Cause they were cheep (and nasty)

[gozza]

cheap
went reasonly hard for a family barge
looks tough when slammed
sounds tough for a 6
