I'm excited beyond belief and its all due to having picked up my recently purchased T3! Formerly owned by Jimt3te50 its the best car i have ever seen and it is pure adrenaline to drive. i'm so glad the opportunity came my way and i am definatly 100% happy to have parted ways with my money
 I want to thank Jamie for a transaction that has gone smoother than silk, Hedland Tilt Trays for their transportation and my G/F Jody for supporting my decision to spend/buy the car whilst she's pregnant!! I was going to document picking the car up, with a series of photos but turns out i left the camera at home and my mobile one is struggling at current :( Anyways, i am so happy with the car. It really is a powerful beast and yet remains a pleasure to drive. My first V8 too. I'll try to post up some pics soon of the T sittin out front and soon some more of it around town. gotta find some spots with some good views first. IM ECSTATIC!!!

Yep enjoy mate and be careful being your first 8banger, they are a handfull in stock trim let alone what you got under your right foot !!!
By the way I like the colour hehe T3 may not have the interior of the more modern BSeries but it still kicks it's where it counts down very low and even more the one you have.

Cheers guys, i think you'd have to have experienced alot of extremely exhilarating moments to not be impressed by this car. For obvious reasons i'll be taking it easy with her, but it was a heap of fun overtaking people on the way back from Port Hedland!
Anyways i've just started 2 nights of night shift so the photos will have to wait until the weekend.

hahaha, ya love it.
Nah, you've done what most of us only can dream of. I'd be wanting to sleep in that thing if it were me. I'd also have the best polishes ready on a weekly basis also. I hope you have all the good stuff for keeping this beast nice and pristine.
