I was searching through some of my photos today when i spotted one that i have been looking for !
Its a EK Special Wagon that used to belong to an old lady who lived just down the road from me here in Murrumburrah. A local mechanic sold it for her on ebay a few years ago ....
Looks like the plate is still current.
Was a nice original old rig that never did a lot of work ...
my mother in law lived in murrumburrah till her house burned down she now lives in harden
Oh so the house on the corner of the tip road, or accross from the park ?
Not too big of a move!
Sputz, or anyone whats this colour called ... im lazy to look up the charts ... shamilar blue or whatever?
I'm planning on taking the old lady for a spin in mine once its on the road .... she would have been close to 80 when she was still driving the wagon.
She has a festiva now
I remember looking at a really nice twilight turqoise wagon back when I lived in Sydney , it had a stripped timing gear and was unregistered but was in bloody good nick otherwise - bloke wanted $50 for it but I knocked it back
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

I have a picture somewhere of a twighlight turquoise wagon with the side flash that goes above the chrome strip (????) Blacky. I had my Twighlight Turquoise Sedan hotty in the FB/EK club in about 1980. We used to meet at a church hall in Randle St. Guildford, I think. Trevor Page was President and a fellow called Rex was Secretary I think. I only say this because I remember one night going for a hot lap around the block with some guys in the red EK that was later bought and used in the movie "Running on Empty" Was this you mate?
I remember it had tubes coming out of the radio speaker with guages in them and a bump on the bonnet from a 6 cyl. Cortina or something. I'm sorry this is way off the subject but I
just remembered this night. Back on the right track, Steve Mclaren, a previos President from the Qld club, had two twighlight EK Wagons.

No that wasnt me - I bought it from the movie company after filming. I went to a couple of FB/EK club meetings in Sydney in the early '80s out blacktown way in I thinkit was Trevors garage ? He had a yellow EK with "the wanderer" painted on the bootlid that I was looking at buying , I decided to buy it so I rang him and he had sold it the day before so I stuck with my Monaro and stopped going to the meetings.
