Al many of you know i have purcased myself a new car, I got sick of waiting for the day i turn 25 so i can get my XY, So after selling a perfectly good F6 for an xy but not being able to insure it, ive had to wait till im 25... So i was browsing carsales just haveing a look at what was for sale.. i was considereng a BA xr8...but hmm still so many people have these or XR6t's. E430 merc's... 5 series BMW's .... then i spotted this.. there was only two for sale that i knew of... It had everything i was kinda on the look out for V8 manual and sunroof... not bad.. So i went and had a look one night.. It was unregested and hadn't been driven in a long time the rego had expired more than a year previous... But it was a clean car and im glad the photo's of it for sale didn't do it any justice. So i put down a deposit, He got it regested and roadworth and now it sits in my drive way.
And yes its god damn slow! but it sounds great, the red interior is a bit eek as well but i guess its esentually a AU GT and should hold its value.
