Well guys, the times come for me to move on from the AU, it's been a pleasure over the years and thanks for all the help with my numerous questions and kind words regarding my AU but now I have upgraded (or sidestepped?) to a BF.
Arrived home to the Gold Coast from Sydney last night and man what a drive that is! Car handled it no problems, I on the other hand, not quite so flawlessly. Some pretty amazing roads down that way although the Pacific HWY is the complete opposite. All the best with the future mods boys  |

Just a 5 speed XR6 Magnet ute.. bit dirty after the drive, and has a few annoying pink stickers under the tint (who in their right mind does that?), including a huge pink bull across the back window so off to the tinter this week to be rid of them.
I'll try get some pics up soon. |

Nice of you to hand the car to your brother. Good that it's staying in the family. Is he a member here? LOL! GK

Handing the car down seemed like the best option, when he is done with it I'll be back, but with a stripped out AU track car  Quote:
