My Favourite Car has arrived.

[Triggersmob]

Never lucky enough to own one, but I did have an XY V8 Fairmont for 19 years.

:good: Close enough for me Trigger ..... the South African GT's were Fairmonts from memory.

I just received my latest issue of the Stamp Bulletin and inside the
back cover they are showing this series of coins. So they are now
available from Australia post and they usually do free post.

20 litres gasoline for 100 km for both mentioned cars? (That's how gasoline consumption is stated here in Germany: litres per 100 km).

Otherwise, great car, great coin.

[Unicorn]

Yes, that's pretty good consumption for what they were ..... 14 mpg in our old terms.

They did come out with a larger 36 gallon fuel tank as an option (163.8 litre) which means you could have done 508 miles or 819 km on one tank.

This morning (it's Friday morning here in Germany), filling up the fuel tank with 160 litre would cost you 233,44 Euros (352,47 AUD / 247,57 USD) here in Germany :shock:

:laugh2: ..... Yes, there would be enough petrol for you to be able to drive to the next bank to get a loan for the next tank full!!!

Redlock ..... I saw an excellent documentary about the Porsche Factory in Stuttgart a few months ago. Absolutely brilliant production.

The silver part of the coin looks really good Steve but can't say I'm that impressed with the sticker, looks to be very light

Sounds like your fuel must be nearly as dear as our redlock :shock:

Not sure it is a sticker AJ, I think it might be printed like an old dot matrix printer.
Looks a lot better when it's not blown up about 5 times.

Would cost $195 at my local garage today.

Oh so it's like the first lot of coloured coins, the 2012 50 cent in the mint set. Still looks good but could look better

:shock: how much is fuel there ATM Steve as it's about $1.39 a litre here..so much for the accc, they're always saying we're paying too much but they never do anything about it :@ and it's not like we can say we're not paying that as they'd soon call the copper  :-/ Oh and that's unleaded 91

91 octane is $1.21 here at the moment, but Monday is usually our cheap day,
so by then it will probably be about $1.10 - $1.15.

We don't have any cheap day as it's always the same price no matter what day of the week it is. I've heard them talk about the price cycle in the cities but in the bush they know they have us over a barrel.
