I got to relive a big bit of my past as I learnt to drive in a Ford Prefect, a Ford twin spinner, a 203 Peugot amongst others. My first car was a Mk.2 Consul for which I paid $125.00 from a dealer in the main street of Yarrawonga, Vic. I also owned a Mk.2 Zepher, a 2dr XM Falcon and I rallied a Mk.2 Cortina. Other Fords I \/we owned over the years include a XC sedan, a XF sedan and a BA2 Fairmont wagon. I have also had a few Holdens over the years and sit on the fence in the Ford versus Holden debate.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/lostinoz.laugher.id.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Bens-Wedding-Emerald-Ford-day3-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-407\" title=\"Ben's Wedding &amp; Emerald Ford day3-1\" src=\"http:\/\/lostinoz.laugher.id.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Bens-Wedding-Emerald-Ford-day3-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"505\" height=\"302\" srcset=\"http:\/\/lostinoz.laugher.id.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Bens-Wedding-Emerald-Ford-day3-1.jpg 1200w, http:\/\/lostinoz.laugher.id.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Bens-Wedding-Emerald-Ford-day3-1-300x180.jpg 300w, http:\/\/lostinoz.laugher.id.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Bens-Wedding-Emerald-Ford-day3-1-1024x614.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 505px) 100vw, 505px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lee Kernaghan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lee is Jan&#8217;s self-confessed &#8220;boyfriend&#8221;.
