Default Very nice XR8

Just before the w/end I left a message for "nitroman" if he could drop in with his XR8 if he was out Cruisin' , believe it or not I'd NEVER seen one up close . (bit house-bound & don't get out much)

Well , this arvo there was a knock at the door and there was an "Immaculate" AU XR8 sitting in my front yard , and I mean Immaculate

Thanks Nitro , for taking the time to bring your car over . ( I'll swap ya for the FC :evil3: )

Not up close mate, seen them drive up & down the street , but never under the bonnet etc. Sounds crazy I know , but have been crook on & off for 10 years & never met anyone with one . I've just started driving again the last 2 months , last time I drove my car was 12 mths ago last August (lucky I don't mind the Mrs Driving I'm always the passenger).

Worth the wait , the XR8 looks like NEW .
