History
My first car. What a beast! As a 16 year old L plater I was absolutely stoked to find this EF Fairmont. Sure it was nothing special, but I loved it and I still miss it to this day. It handled like a boat and it stepped out easily in the wet (not even intentional!)
At age 18 when it needed a new exhaust to pass rego, I naturally went and put a 2.5 inch Redback catback on her, which in my youthful mind sounded awesome! A few months later the time came to move on. I bought a 2006 BF XR6 which I've also since moved on from, and was a much nicer car in every aspect. Ask me which one I miss more? The EF. It didn't look as good, it wasn't as quick and I even crashed it once (minor, not my fault) but I'd absolutely love to drive it again.
