With Regret I announce that the EF is no longer mine - Page 2

Like the others have said Danny, very sad to see you part with the EF. Was indeed one of the finest EF/ELs I have ever seen. All the best with your new purchase.

Regards,
Julza

Dez · 03-04-2005, 05:43 PM

RUQ1KA · 03-04-2005, 06:34 PM

we can sort something out trough pm or msn if ya want

LUXO_8 · 03-04-2005, 07:07 PM

tommi, you didnt need it anymore as i sold you a set of 5 wheels.......... not my fault it doesnt fit on your craptastic spare wheel carrier thingy.

dan, such a shame, i had a set of EF ghias and EF steelies just 3 weeks ago

Danny · 03-04-2005, 08:19 PM

Ohhno

Ahh well

Tommi: Get on line for me!! And rob as well, I NEED THose Wheels AHHHhHhH

Dez · 03-04-2005, 08:57 PM

done deal on the wheels

LG · 04-04-2005, 01:40 AM

All the best, it must of been really hard to make the decision. Your car actually made me want to sell mine, and get a manual EF/EL.

Cheers goodluck with it.

Danny · 04-04-2005, 02:52 PM

The Final Hours......

Its hit me now, I'm feeling pretty shitty. I found some Steelies for the car. Taking off the wheels and putting them aside along with the E series vinyls I had on the rear windscreen was a bit sad... But heres what the car looks like in my garage at the moment...

Wasn't a happy cahppy driving home on those steelies today......
Update on the new car. I will be lookingat a 2001 proton Satria GTi tonight or on wednesday. Least they're sorta a nice car, already with wheels and bodykit factory standard. Hopefully that will make me a bit happier if i get one of those.

Cheers
-Dan

Danny · 04-04-2005, 02:53 PM

Funny thing though, It still looks nice even with the steel rims.....

neb · 04-04-2005, 02:58 PM

it actually still looks surprisingly good on stockies! you should be happy again once you get a new car

needfordspeed · 04-04-2005, 03:04 PM

God damned, I should have bought this car.

Damn right, it looks tough. I think it's the quality & the colour of the paint job that makes it stand out so well. EF's look really good dark.

That is without a doubt, the finest EF I have ever seen. Sorry to see it go.

EFFalcon · 04-04-2005, 03:31 PM

THATS IT
i'm putting stockies on my car for heathcote.
that looks mad :P

dansedgli · 04-04-2005, 03:32 PM

Ive been telling everyone this for ages but no-one ever listens!!

OED666 · 04-04-2005, 03:37 PM

i could never sell my car...

i am going to have a massive garage and keep them all, and sneak them out for a strap every now and then, cuz i dont think i could afford to register a number of cars over many years...

i think i would go into a deep depression if my baby was gone... i might go out to the carpark now and give it a rub...

AUII_Forte · 04-04-2005, 03:46 PM

Sad to see it go!! It really was one of the best looking EF's I've ever seen. One day I'd love my EF to look something like that, but the condition of the paint lets it down a bit. Hope you get some new wheels soon!

Danny · 04-04-2005, 04:39 PM

Dont you mean you hope "He" gets new wheels soon? Lol

THanks guys for those soothing comments!

oneredED · 04-04-2005, 05:38 PM

Danny, danny, danny.....

:
You talked about it mate, but i'd never thought you'd go through with it. Guess i was wrong :(
Hopefully whatever car you get next will treat you well, because if the EF was anything to go buy, your next car will be pampered for sure.

And bugger me, it still looks mean with stockies!!!

FRDXR6 · 04-04-2005, 07:00 PM

The first thing i thought when i saw it had the stockies on was 'f@ck it looks tough with the ol steelies'. Im gonna go out and chuck some stockies on lol

Unfortuneatly i might have to go through the same process in a few months if i end up going over seas next semester and sell my car before hand, being the first car makes it all the more special.

Kenaz · 04-04-2005, 07:08 PM

It looks tough like that. Where is the guy from Danny? Am I likely to see it being driven around this area?

i think he meant "wheels" as in car :P

still looks tough on the stockies danny....

my mate might be parting with his proton satria XLS...its got the rims and body kit like a GTi, but is in a color other than silver! a real nice blue....

b2tf · 04-04-2005, 08:18 PM

Hehe, the old trick of putting steelies on to make it look lower. Doesnt need to do that in this case, but it actually does look rather tough. Woulda been better if the steelies were chrome tho.

Im not a fan of Proton admittedly but the Satrias look like a good little car, and as you said they can look pretty good with the kit and the rims. There's one here i see pretty often which is actually the colour of your EF, and it looks a bit different to your average small car, which is a good thing. Having never owned or driven in one i have no idea what they're like on the inside or mechanically though.

Danny · 04-04-2005, 08:58 PM

just got back from test driving one
They are a fine little car, quick, and handle like a knife!
Interior is a little basic but they get power everything, alarm etc and leather recaro seats. I'm a big fan of that!

they do have Lotus people do the suspension for them..

i dont mind the protons, ive read some things about them, but i for one have not ever seen a proton broken down anywhere ever, nor have i ever seen a smokey one.

they are pretty much a "recycled lancer" anyway, so the quality is there.

should do you well danny
