I'm Back!!!

Hey Guys.

After having sold my dearly loved AU3 XR6 with several mods earlier this year to buy a Jap car this september when it came up from lease, it turns out this car is no end of trouble and my mate won't sell it to me. So instead, I've ended up with a GSX-R600 and I'll be the proud owner of a 2000 AU2 Fairmont Ghia on wednesday. I have to fly to Wagga to get it, but it's going to be worth it. 150000kms, All the options, Spoiler, Galaxy Blue, Black Leather, Prem Sound, just been serviced all for the pricely figure of $6000.

I'm pretty happy with it, and I'll get some pics up when I get the thing, but in the meantime, here's to being back in a Ford.

Welcome back from the dark side

What was the jap car that you were going to buy???

MY01 WRX Sports wagon. You know the one with the bug eye headlights... It had had about $40k+ of work done on it, and it's putting out somewhere around the 350+ kw at all four wheels.

It was a serious weapon. It looked stock as and before it's last upgrade we outran a Ferrari 360 Modena and a Porche GT3 Race Spec as if they were sitting still down the main straight at Wakefield Raceway. It is a pity that I didn't end up with it, but it's cheaper upfront and running wise with both vehicles than the one WRX...

Speaking of multiple vehicles, anyone interested in a great first Motorcycle? 1988 GPX250 Grey Import. Just had major Service done, new clutch and new set of tyres. Going cheap for $2000, anyone know anyone or are interested, PM me.

Damn shame about the bike not being my style (i want a XVS650A :P )

Welcome back though... and if the new AU is as good as it sounds... you got it at a good price!
