Re: Yay :)
Xena, you're not fooling anyone with that P plate.
got big plans for it, or just a daily?

Re: Yay :)
Had my license for so long now I don't even remember having a red p plate
Picking it up on Sunday on the central coast.
Not sure what I'm going to do with it. I've always wanted to get one and drop a decent engine in, but I'm still enjoying spending all my money on the FTO so far I do plan on Liquid Wrapping it (along with the FTO) when that becomes available, and I'm going to do up the interior.

Re: Yay :)
My grandmother owned a mirage, and I loved driving it to the mechanic and back for her.
Lookin' good!

Re: Yay :)
My mechanic gives me sh*t all the time about owning an FTO - refers to it as my Magna. I told him I got the Mirage and he just at me.
So now I have Baby Magna and Sporty Magna

My local mechanic owns a baby blue Chrysler PT cruiser with 19" chromes on it... Any argument of his will forever be invalid.XenaP wrote:

Nice Magna when it was a Galant VR4
Nice Lancer when it was an FTO.
Your mechanic sound like a twat for switching the jokes around.

Re: Yay :)
Not weeks ... man I'd go nuts without my baby
Gearbox, tappets (hal-a-f**king-lujah), timing belt, pink slip, new clutch, etc. Plus the front seats have gone to the upholsterer to be re-covered
It's a very expensive week for me

Re: Yay :)
Want to know the funny part ......
Had someone ring today wanting to buy the Sirion for almost the advertised price, which is $1000 more than the Mirage So typical. I now have to decide if I want to back out of the deal on the Mirage - and how bad I'll feel about it if I do. There's been no handshake, just an email agreement to meet up and see if I like the Mirage enough to do the actual swap.
