Nice one Max, I would have liked a HJ LE back in the day but ended up with Toranas and Sandmans.

When I was twenty one of my mates tried to drive both of us to heaven (or maybe hell) in a Datsun 120y. He did a u-turn on the pacific Hwy in front of a XY GT Falcon. Still remember those headlight coming straight for us at 110kph. I blanked out just before the Falcon t-boned us, I knew what was about to happen, and it was going to hurt big time (understatement). When I come to the ambo guys where just about to put me in the back of a Ford F100 ambulance. I remember saying F**k you guys I'm not going to hospital in a Ford, I'll wait for something decent to come along. By the look on the guys face he must have been a hardened Ford guy.

That's how much a Holden guy I was back then. Fast forward 35 years and I have a Ford Ranger in the garage. I covered the Ford badge over with masking tape for the first six months because all my mates kept ribbing me. I've had it now for almost five years and its been the best 4x4 I have ever owned. previously had thirteen Toyota Hilux and its better than any of them.

All I can say is how thing change, never in my wildest mind did I ever think I would own a Fraud.
