Default New Car for Kenaz :o

That's right! Most of you probably already know that last week I bought a new car. BA XR6 Turbo is what I got. I've wanted one since they came out.

Here's a pic


Unfortunately it means I have to sell the EL. It's been a awesome car and I'll miss it greatly.


Cheers!

Ash

Looks nice! Are you still going to stay involved with e-series at all?

Nice work Ash, I was shocked when I found out atleast you got a turbo though. Keep the EL if you can afford it.

Despite i havent been a long time member here it will be sad to see your EL go champ. Though hopefully the new not too distant owner will give it the same tlc as you did but on the other hand congratulations on your awesome new ride and looking very forward to the ''list'' of mods to come lol.

Was that the Red BA XR6 Turbo at the car yard on FTG Road, across the road from Mountain Gate Shops?

As I saw it once and when I went to go and have a test drive it was gone :(

Depressing how this car (with 5 people in it) feels faster than mine, with only me driving it!

Good buy Ash you already know what I think, time for an edit though

Yeah its a nice car and all but personally I'm already over the BA as they are on the front cover off 95% of Performance Ford Magazine.
Despite this congratulations on the purchase and I hope the car treats you well!

Will you be putting the GT wheels and your KENAZ-8 number plates on the BA?
