My trusty Ford Falcon AUII Wagon clicked over 250,000km on the way to work today. It has a few issues that need fixing – the most urgent of which is that something isn’t right in the front end. It tracks and drives beautifully, but hit a slight incline (like the driveway in and out of one of the local supermarkets) and the wrong angle and the very edge of the tyre just kisses the guard slightly. I know the dampers are pretty much shot, and when I get a chance I’ll drop into the suspension shop that did them last time (~130,000km) and get them to take a look. Other than that it’s as nice to drive as when I first got it. I’ve got no plans to change it at the moment. As much as Lisa’s SS Sportwagon is a beautiful car I still really like my Falcon. Fits like a glove.
