Thats unreal! How pumped would you be thinking you have at least won a few million and then that happens! So instead of millions you get 500k! Still better than nothing!

I own the 2 I have now. Don't know whats happenng with the next one,(in the next 3 months) though more than likely I will pay cash for it too.

How hard can it be to find a nice MANUAL Blueprint BA XR6??
(3 dealers visited yesterday, and not ONE to be found....)

Mine OWES me and OWNS me.

It's black and evil and does sinister things with my money.

I always buy my cars outright. Never had finance for a car.
I bought the AU ghia in 2000 as a demo with 3,000kms saved some money to look at buying a BA xr8 in 2002 but the trade in on my ghia was a insult for a car with 32,000kms and just 3 years old. So I used the money to buy my wife a new Mazda sp20 astina which was a cheaper deal than the Ford XR8 deal even though she was happy with her old 929 mazda.Have had my hobby car the Buick since 1984 and I would hate to think of how much money I've sunk into that over the years.

If I had of picked my own numbers I would have had 5 and a supp, but no I go halves in a quick pick coz I'm too lazy to fill out one little form! D'oh!!! :rolleyes:
