Great picture, but who gave the nod to putting solar panels on it, really spoils it.

My local Ford dealer has a 'fleet' of Falcons as their loan cars whilst your car is being serviced. These are generally older models, ranging from AUs through to BFs. Most have a significant number of kms, are mostly gas converted and are, generally, in average condition.

Last week I had the ute serviced. I got a BA XT with approx 250000km on the odometer. It suffered from the ubiquitous sagging head lining issue. At least, it had suffered from that at some point, but a rather unique method had been employed to address that issue:

My daughter is a Marine Biologist and currently working at a pearling farm in Broome.
She harvested this 16mm beauty the other day, worth a cool 10k.

Yes, I'd say so especially after she got a 17mm one a couple of days later, but I don't have a pic.
She's at Willie Creek Pearl Farm.
