Default We bought a new car!!!
Eamon (Cobra) and myself decided to buy a new car off a mate last week. A mate rang me and said one of his mates had this red Mustang that he was going to try and sell for a decent price... so we got to thinking.... and went and had a look.... and yes, we decided to trade Eamon's AU XR8 in on the red Mustang below!!!!!

Took it for a spin in the Grampians over the weekend and it was awesome!!!!

Here's a pic! Couldnt put more pics in coz Ive exceeded my quota or something....

Eamon the bargain hunter! Well done guys

The stang's may lack some in build quality but the driving experience more than makes up for it, one of the most fun cars you can drive with that great exhaust note!
