Hi Guys,
Have been a member a few months now since I picked up my MY06 XT 5MT. Nothing really happened till now though, and wanna keep a bit of a record so it's time to start a thread.
Picked the car up from Sydney and drove it back to Canberra at 3 o'clock in the morning, and coming from a junk heap VT Commodore auto I had a stupid grin on my face the whole trip! :icon_wink:
After getting stuffed around by the ACT Rego folks for a week or two (normal practice for them apparently), it was registered.
Not too long after I bought it:
Current pic (will try to remember to keep this updated as things change):
...Also, my photography skills got a bit better!
First mod ever was a Kartboy delrin shiftknob with thanks to Entra... Had never heard of Kartboy before getting the Foz!! 🤷
Anyway, this thread will not be action packed like some others on here, but i'll update as stuff happens.
Thanks for looking and comments, criticism, tips etc are all welcome!!
