Hey all, i was goin through some old boxes in the shed the other day and found these photos of an old car i used to own about 10 years ago! I know its not a lib, or even a subi, but i used to love it all the same! I had this when i was about 18 or 19, so needless to say it didnt get treated with much respect! any ways i thought id post them up just for fun! Its an XC fairmont 351 C4 with a 9" mini spool! And i found out when i blew my first diff (for this car anyway), that the rear breaks didnt actually work! Hence the awesome burn outs!! Enjoy!

haha, love it!

and the skids were done on private property im sure

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

of course they were!

Matt - I had a very similar car as my first one! A XC Falcon 500 though! Ol' tanks! No power steering, drums, winder windows, no air con but I was luck enough to have a tape deck! Oh, and a rear demister!

Beautiful car!

I have a soft spot for those cars - especially the GXL 5.8. Even better in a Coupe!

Thanks for sharing mate.

Awesome looking car, Nice burnouts

yes they are pretty cool, i love the coupes too, tough as nails! fortunately i had power steering, disc on the front (eventually had them on the rear when i decided to fix them, but it wouldnt do burnouts with them!) air con, and a CD player! and yeah unfortunately had to physically wind the windows up and down! geez thats a hassle nowa days!

Here are a couple of my "old days" shots. Owned my XD as my 2nd car, 11 years ago now.
