California Ford Falcon XB

A huge thanks to reader Brendan for letting me check out and ride in (!) this Beast.  Look for a full write-up on Hooniverse, where I'll be nominating it for Hooniverse Car of the Year.

Grouse.

He didn't let you drive it?

@Lukas: I had to check an Australian dictionary online to find out what "grouse" meant. :)

I couldn't handle that car. It was a handful. It was a pleasure simply to sit on the wrong side, listen to the loud V8 rumble, and smell the gasoline vapor.

Speaking of which, how is your fleet doing?

Bonzer.

Sadly, the fleet has grown: now have a 450SE as well, purchased by "accident". Recently dismantled another 450SE, mainly to get a bumper for the first one (I know, I'm doing it wrong).

The 6.9s are getting as little attention as ever. This weekend looks good for a blast around the countryside.

Looks to be in fairly good nick.

Is that rear spoiler on backwards?

It looks it doesn't it.
