As was said I currently have 2.

If I was to get another, I'd love a 75th Anniversary Ghia, or an XR 6/8, or T series.

AUs are great cars.

I've had one. AUIII XR6 VCT Sedan, Venom, Manual, Leather.

It was the best Ford I have owned. If the Territory wasn't released, I would have kept it for the Mrs (and taught her Manual at the same time), and bought a Land Cruiser.

1 for me.

But a TL50 or a nice Fairlane sportsman might tempt me into 2.

Bought the misses one 3 years ago (AU Futura S1) and didnt like it, she loved it. Kinda grew on me, so Bought an Xcab S1 for a go to work car. Did 30K in 9 months and starting to get shagged, found another (Xcab) that drove really nice and have been gradually doing it up. Best thing was I made a few bucks selling the 1st one

I'm on my 4th.

Brand new Venom AUII TE50 auto - 12/00
Second hand Silhouette AUI XR8 manual - 04/02
Second hand Liquid Silver AUI TS50 auto - 08/07

I tried, oh, how I tried, but no BA/BF could keep me faithful. LOL
