New Bronco Owner

[Bart]

Thanks everyone! Again I'm having trouble figuring out how to upload videos/pictures. But here is the link to YouTube of a video the seller sent me. http://youtu.be/3ldlmLoySuo

From the you tube I see it has Kalifornia plates. Where are you and where is it? Nice score, plus having wife that likes/loves it is a plus. Mine loves ours. She's not overly pleased about the two one I bought but she'll love it when I get to work on it and restore it to a resto-mod. She won't let me sell the '57 Fairlane 500 sitting in the garage, but she wasn't too excited about it before it was restored either.

Thanks! I'm definitely blessed to have a wife who is almost as excited as I am. She wasn't at first as we're paying cash but she knew it was inevitable, I would be buying one. Like I said before we were looking for months and she really wasn't excited about any of them until we came across this one. All but one that we looked at were manual and she doesn't know how to drive manual and wasn't thrilled about learning. When we came across this one down south she got all wet lol! I live just outside the Bay Area about 65 miles East SF. The Bronco is located down south near LA.

Congrats on the vehicle AND the wife. We live out in the high desert area, Victorville, and wheel a lot. We have two EBs and one FSB Love 'em all. Hope to see ya on the trail some day. We had a friend who lives up there in the S.F. area. His name is John Paul and he's a great guy and excellent wheeler. Maybe you can look him up up there. He will remember me from the 40th Bronco anniversary (ten years ago already). I fixed his Bronco so he could drive it home.

So, just east of SF, eh? Make sure to bring the family to our Bronco Roundup in Lodi April 2(?) I think it is.
We had 200 Broncos last year. With this being the official 50th anniversary, it should be a fun time to gather.

And if you have the time to kill, make a date a couple of weeks later for the Fabulous Fords Forever festivities at Knott's Berry Farm.
Gonna be a fun year now that you have a Bronco.

Thanks Paul. Yes Lodi is very close, and that sounds like a great idea! The family just grew 2 babies within the last two weeks. We had our first born on the Dec 26th, and now our new Bronco! So bringing the family out to a gathering like that sounds fun! Plus Lodi has some amazing wines for the wife to enjoy!

Beautiful! And congratulations on both additions to the family.
Both will be fun, both will be full of headaches and joy, and at least for awhile anyway, both won't say "Oh dad, please..." every time you pull out the camera to take another candid photo.

Oh, and by the way, in case you didn't know... It's going to be HIS/HER? (I know the cap is blue, but that's a cool girl's color too;D) Bronco someday too. After both of you have made sure it's the coolest thing on the planet (and safest) I can see someone going to great lengths to convince you that they just have to drive it to high-school.

So, seems you're going to keep it for awhile, eh?

Congrats! Nice rig! I haven't had mine a month yet and it's truly an addiction. Enjoy it and look forward to seeing more pics and updates.

These types of events are the best part of owning a Bronco. Be prepared to meet lots of wonderful people.

Paul you said it all! I can see Isabelle trying to convincing to be her high school car. My wife already mentioned something about it and I said hell no. But who knows we might eventually buy another one. For now, this will be my rig with the wife occasionally taking her out. I drove it yesterday 350 miles back from LA with no problems, and when I got home the wife took it for a spin. She loves it too!
