EA was a good car,I remember getting a new one up to 200 km p/h on a dirt road before that I only
managed 170 km p/h with the new XF ute on the dirt roads ,the Xf had a carby motor but the EA I remember
had multipoint injection,must have been the EA Ghia.
Had a new VN up to 120 km p/h on a dirt road and took a right angled bend in the road ,had the steering
on full lock in the opposite direction and the back end was still sliding around too far so I just spun the
wheel in the full opposite direction to before and spun the car in a few circles until it stopped, the car
stayed on the road that way.
The dirt roads were not public roads so I wouldn't have got a speeding ticket.
I've had a Ford cortina up to 160 km p/h in a grass paddock.
Think I was about 10 when I first drove a car and through our back fence ,my dad was
working on a XY Falcon and told me to get in the car and give it some revs ,so I did
not knowing he had left the auto gear lever in reverse,the car was backed up to the
fence and I flattened it,no damage to the car,I just drove the car forward and picked
up the fence,the fence was old and needed replacing anyway.
Cheers
Max.
