Pub's New Wagon

[Pub247]

So after a few year of owning a sedan and not having a towbar, i had come to the realisation that i missed having a wagon. Whilst my current daily MY EF fairmont has been awesome, ultra reliable pretty good to drive and very low maintenance. I've Had it almost 3 years and have done over 50,000ks its getting on a bit it needs some money spent on it that i CBF doing. Also since my new job i've been spending quite a bit more on petrol. So i decided to kill 3 problems with one new car and there's only one car out there for a good price that does it....Another ford falcon but this time its even slower with it on dedicated gas. With it's huge cargo carrying capacity built ford tough egas motor and btr auto 116ltr dual lpg gas tanks it meets every requirement i need in daily family car.

I had a look at a few over the past few weeks and was after a white one this one came up on carsales and it looked pretty good low klms and being the higher specs futura was a bonus price wise it was very competitive for dealer car so i bought it.

Looks pretty good for a cheapish pickup.
Those E-Gas engines may be slow, but they have much better fuel efficiency than the newer EcoLPi ones.

Was thinking of a doing a direct port nitrous kit on the ef and some basic mods and just turning it into a drag car. Drove the ef again today shitloads faster than the BF
