My name's Rowan. Just bought myself a stock ED gli auto today. $1200. mint condition.
I've been a member for about six months, just skimming around reading through the posts.
This is my first post. Don't have much to say nor do i think i know everything about cars,
quite the opposite actually, so i don't post useless crap.
Bipolar got me interested in Ford. Win!
I shall post pics soon. dial up FTL.

yeah, no broadband. You learn to accept it, you also learn patience and how to scab your friends broadband too upload all of your pictures. haha

Dialup! :drinks2:

Trust Todd to find the only other person in Australia with dialup. Oi to make things easier, go into your control panel and change your settings to that images are disabled, that way you can still load image-heavy threads without the computer getting back to you 2 hours later.

EDIT - now I don't know if this is my dialup playing games with me or not but all your images 404'd on me :-(

I have been educating/corrupting Row for years n now he wants a turbo Falcon :D (eventually). Some members have already met him on cruises and meets which he's been coming to on and off for years.

This ED seriously does look mint. ~180000 on the clock and owned by old people (second owners). The driver's seat almost looks new. Bloody good base to work from. No rattles, tight as.

Gonna be good to tell all your mates and our own brother they all drive girls'* cars :D Come to the skidpan day biatch!!

Hmmm i didn't realise that.
It doesn't bother me that much anyway.
I'm good as long as i have some sort of internet connection.
Also phone reception cuts in and out at our place.

Yeah well the thing is i still live with my daddio. Free rent until i finish uni :good:
So he's the one looking into everything.
