ohh do ya still need those lil clip things for ya head rests, if so ill get ya some to fix the head rests then you can join max n jared doin some skids at the wedding

when are ya comin back to see us, WE MISS YOU :cry:

by **EL XR8** » March 26th, 2008, 10:38 pm

Hahaha. You're a funny girl Kristy!Yeah the car made it up here fine. Had to try and dodge all the potholes on the way up. There were a couple that would've ended the trip right then and there if i hit them. God damn FR's and Ultra's!
The car was actually alrightno fuel on the way up. Only used about 11l per 100km. Worked out to about $350ish which i was happy enough with.
If you've got those head rest clip thingo's i definately still need some, so that would be awesome!
I can't say i've ever heard a Bride saying to do some skids at her own wedding before. Kind of amusing though!
I should be back for the engagement party, unless work up here goes stupid or something...

I miss you too...haha
Actually i just miss people (Victorians) who actually know how to tastefuly modify cars. I swear the only tough looking cars i've seen up here have been some LS1/2's and only a couple of imports. No ones else up here has any taste, the cars all look fucking disgusting.
Plus dickheads in any car at all will try and run ya. haha. They're funny **** though!

most accurate statement ive read about QLD, i moved up from SA and you really notice 99% of people drive like dickheads by tailgating constantly etc.

by **EL XR8** » March 26th, 2008, 11:58 pm

Yeah thats it. I mean i live on the Gold Coast Hwy, and the amount of knobs flying around in shitboxes looking like they think their shit doesnt stink is unbelievable. I've nearly gone downstairs and started the XR and gone and shown them not to bother.
Like there's some good looking cars (**** all, but some). But i don't reckon i've seen any TOUGH cars around here yet! Some quick ones look like an abortion, so they're never gonna fit in the tough category ever. But they're fucking everywhere in Vic.
Hopefully my opinion will change given more time!

But its a bad start so far.

by **braiden** » March 27th, 2008, 2:12 am

by **fordbaby** » March 27th, 2008, 7:29 am

by **Commando** » March 27th, 2008, 8:33 am

11L/100kms, not bad at all! Good to know you made it without accumulating any battlescars.

by **Bipolar** » March 27th, 2008, 2:20 pm

We need to have a cruise down your way so you've got no excuse not to come

The only thing about that is I think my EL will look shit sitting next to yours.

by **Steady** » March 27th, 2008, 2:37 pm

Nah his ELs fair ratty, all his FRs are buckled

LOL

) shitter compared to daves lol

by **Eb Barbie** » March 27th, 2008, 2:57 pm

We all know Daves car is mint, but who cares. Have a meet up and get pics already!!

If us melbourners come up for powercruise we gotta have a massive meet up so we can meet you all

by **Bipolar** » March 27th, 2008, 5:11 pm

For shizzle. Boxcars always seem to dominate up here.

by **EL XR8** » March 27th, 2008, 10:16 pm

Cheers guys.Yeah the car made it up here alright, and got pretty good economy. Well i was happy enough with it. Took 2 days to get up here. Well did one long day the first day, then only 5-6 hours the 2nd day.Kristy, if someone can get a pics of the bride with her head out of my sunroof, i'll bag up the FR's for ages!Beth, tyre smoke smells good

If cigarettes smelt like tyres do when they're burning, i may have considered smoking at some time! hahaI'll be up for a meet/cruise/whatever, whenever you guys are gonna have one. Add another EL to keep the boxcar numbers in check.

Laugh it up Jared! Wait till you get urs on the Sprint! Then i'll see you cry when you hit a pothole... or just swear your head off like i do.WTF is up, i can't start writing on a new line, or fix this shit! Kristy get ur fiance to get onto this.

by **EFFalcon** » March 28th, 2008, 7:46 am

what am i getting onto?
u can't type on a new line.. don't look at me.
works fine for everyone else

get a new enter key!

by **fordbaby** » March 28th, 2008, 9:17 am

yeah john hurry up and fix the problem for dave

haha as if you would get angry and swear dave, no way :lol:

sweet ill make sure one of the bridesmaids get a pic of me hanging out the sunroof while ya doing burnouts then. and hell yeah the smell of rubber is good stuff

by **EL XR8** » March 28th, 2008, 9:52 am

LOL, yeah i thought i was going stupid too. But it's all written up alright but once i submit it, it goes all fucked up.Oh well, doesn't really bother me, its just a pain to read.
Kristy, get the bridemaids in the back of the car hanging out too!

haha

by **fordbaby** » March 28th, 2008, 10:39 am

haha dave, you just want all the chicks in ya car

nah im sure we can arrange something awesome.

we can have a practice after the engagement party, minus your el, you can just use my car

by **fordbaby** » April 8th, 2008, 4:15 pm

dave, dave, dave, dave

so how is my future car coming along lol??????
i bet it's been getting so much attention up there.

200 days to go till i get to hang out of the sunroof woo hoo

by **EL XR8** » April 8th, 2008, 10:11 pm

It's still in one piece Kristy!

I gotta fix up 2 wheels, cause one got a little buckle ages ago from my old man. Another one happened at the Nats.

Yeah there's been a few people breaking their necks to have a look at the front bar, once they've seen the plates.
It's quite amusing, but sad, no one back in Melb, really notices it that much, but up here it ridiculous.

It'll be right in 200 days! Sounds a bit closer than i thought! haha
You guys can do what you please in it, hang out the sunroof, rip some skids, whatever...

by **Fairmont888** » April 8th, 2008, 10:20 pm

where abouts do you live up here on the coast??? is it near miami etc?? (thats the only place i actually know over that way)

by **EL XR8** » April 8th, 2008, 10:23 pm

Yeah really close to Miami, i'm in Burleigh, on the Gold Coast Hwy. So only 2 mins up the road to Miami.

Wherabouts do you live, you said before you were Northern Gold Coast yeah?

by **Fairmont888** » April 8th, 2008, 10:26 pm

in Arundel next to southport.. explains why i havent seen your car around

by **EL XR8** » April 8th, 2008, 10:32 pm

Yeah cool, thats not too far up from here.I've been up the Pacific Hwy and down the Gold Coast Hwy a couple of times. I'm up the spit a fair bit, launching the jetski. But yeah, haven't been out a huge amount up your way though. I'll have to keep any eye out for you when i'm up that way.

I'll be out on a Formods cruise this Sat, i know that for sure.

by **Fairmont888** » April 8th, 2008, 10:39 pm

yeh if i see you driving around ill try and say hey.. chances are you wont see my car around much well not the way its been lately anyway, it spends most of its time at the GC tafe in ashmore or harbour town

havent really done much driving lately, but yeah if i see you ill try and say hey without running you off the road

lol.

by **EL XR8** » April 8th, 2008, 10:45 pm

Hahaha, yeah all good mate.

I'll probably look at you weird for a second, and then twig who it could be waving and so on... haha

by **Fairmont888** » April 8th, 2008, 10:56 pm

lol ill be the one hanging out the window drooling over your car while endangering lives by not watching where im going. the only thing that might help you a bit is the boosted stickers on the rear quarters, anyway you can have your thread back now

by **XRated** » October 9th, 2008, 9:19 pm

Hey bloke, have you done anything to this in the past few months? Won't hurt to resurrect a thread with such a beautiful looking E-Series anyway!

by **EL XR8** » October 11th, 2008, 6:49 am

Hey mate, nah not a lot really.
Kinda over spending a lot of money on it, trying to save for a house.
Just trying to setup the stereo atm. Its a mess atm, but working really well. Need to spend some more time to clean it up and make it look half decent.
Apart from that though. Not a lot has changed. It's a shame but there's not a lot else i really want to do it atm. More power is probably the only thing i'd like to change, but it steps up another level trying to get too much more power out of it.

by **someLS1** » October 11th, 2008, 9:38 am

Dave your car is decent doesnt need anymore money spent on it i reackon unless something breaks lol... post some new pics of it on the nice qld beach somewhere

by **EL XR8** » October 12th, 2008, 9:16 am

Cheers Max. Thats pretty well how i see it. Unless i spend big money for huge power, there's not much else apart from cleaning a few things up a bit that i want to do. It's a waste of money, when cars like yours and Jared's run pretty well close to my times now, with hardly any mods.

The thing still gets so many comments from Commodore drivers and looks from other drivers when its out and about. It seems pretty well received.

by **dcstraight** » October 12th, 2008, 9:31 am

Nice one Dave - as Max said, get some cool pics with hot 'kini girlies all over it at a beach somewhere "P

Reckon you'll be down for Geelong come Feb ?

by **EL XR8** » October 12th, 2008, 1:20 pm

I should clean it up and drop it over the beach now. There's some chick's Billabong surf thingo on.
Only problem is, if i get some of those girls posing on the car, i think i'll end up jail! lol

Not sure about Geelong for Feb next year though Steve. I'd like to, but its an expensive and time consuming trip down there. Hopefully i can, but i doubt it as it stands atm.

How's the Sparkler coming along. I haven't seen or heard of it in ages?

by **EFFalcon** » October 13th, 2008, 7:49 am

i'll take some photos when i'm driving it in a few weeks

by **fordbaby** » October 13th, 2008, 8:01 am

you wish your driving it

well ya know i love ya car as it is so just leave as is and spend money on other things maybe

Yeah it's a farken long way...just figured you'd miss hanging out with the cool kids down here lol

EL XR8 wrote:How's the Sparkler coming along. I haven't seen or heard of it in ages?

Not too bad mate - hopefully have some more goodness about it soon

by **EL XR8** » October 13th, 2008, 3:29 pm

LOL, it'll be all clean and ready to go when you pick it up John, and of course Kristy.
Yeah a house is on the card atm, as well as an overseas trip if i can too. So the car and bike and jetski stay in their current modified state, which i'm happy enough with all of them.

Yeah i do kinda miss catching up with the usual gang, and hanging out on a cruise.
So we'll have to wait and see exactly what's happening then, huh Steve? Sneaky bloke!
