Yum-yum Ditches Gaewoo!!!

Yum-Yum · 28-03-2006, 05:26 PM

FINALLY...it took some time, and a lot of fiddling about with numbers and seeing if I can afford to, but I traded the ИИИИbox Gaewoo in for a Series III XR6 and man am I rapt

: I noticed 2 things straight away,
1, I can't stop grinning &
2, for some reason my foot weighs a considerable lot more than before hehehe
I picked it up at 2:15pm and just got my butt out of it about 10 minutes ago lemme see...it's 6:10pm PMSL
but I what I did find when I put some gas in about 30 mins ago was this...
am I missing something like some sort of partition to hide any internals or is this the design full stop? Cos I see those screws aren't really holding anything back there.

Thanks for that stiddy, I wasn't 100% sure, as the Gaewoo had a sort of partition that just had the spout coming through lol man I think I'll go for another cruise soon PMSL

AWD Chaser · 29-03-2006, 12:06 PM

Nah, she's the same one mine... makes me appreciate cars where it was hidden behind the number plate... didn't have to worry about what side to line up on at the petrol station... plus they were cooler cars...:thebirds:

Ringo · 29-03-2006, 01:04 PM

Great value motoring.....auto or manual?

Yum-Yum · 29-03-2006, 05:11 PM

sbcb · 29-03-2006, 06:36 PM

Yum-Yum, your ride looks really sharp. Nice to hear your excitement about it. My AU2 XR8 also looks like your fuel flap setup. AU XR's are very addictive rides.
