Hi Guys, My name is Darin and I’m from Sydney, Australia. I’m 50 years of age and when I left school I went into the collision body and paint industry but am now been employed in the plumbing industry (where I’ve been for the last 20+ years).

I’ve been an avid car/truck person all my life and I’m lucky enough to have a wife of almost 30 years that shares my passion and interest of cars/trucks as well.

I’ve got a few toys that I’ve collected over the years from Australian Falcons to American muscle (Mustangs) and because of holidaying in the United States over the last 4-5 years I have acquired a few other American toys and have found a new interest in your F100 Flareside and Econoline vans due to the fact that we did not get any of these vehicles in Australia.

My F100 Flareside finally arrived in Australia this week but that’s another story!

Welcome, Darin!  Glad you found us.  

And, I'm glad your truck finally made it.  I'm looking forward to seeing the whole story on a thread on here.

Thanks xlt351cOZ I will have to look into this site. As you are more than likely aware that a lot the US stores/ suppliers do not all ship Oz
