FTO AUSTRALIA

Howdy all - just lurking around and spotted this one. I am pushing 15 years of ownership of my FTO this coming May.

Part of the family at this stage !!

Wow, how old was it when you got it?

15 years younger than it is today

I bought it here in Ireland in 1999, it's a 1995 car so was pretty much like new.

Plenty of car parks, shopping trolleys and minor blemishes since then but it's still in good shape.

Put on a stainless exhaust in 2000 and it's perfect today. Same goes for uprated suspension bushes etc.

The car is still on the original clutch !

*laughs* I vaguely remember posting my original response to this thread.
I've still got the transfer papers for my car sitting in a manilla folder somewhere.

I think I picked it up in the 2nd half of '99 so Kace has a good couple of months on me =P

I've still got mine, she's definitely not in the best condition of her life though.. not road legal /sigh

Engine is running perfectly, still pulls like a schoolboy that just had 'that' realisation. And the 'box still hasn't broken!

I got it in I think June 2006, so what.. 7.5 years?

You need to get it road legal again!
What does it require?

This is a great tread guys!
Well have mine for about 7 years now loved and enjoyed every moment of owning it and I got about 132,xxx kms on it

It's gonna require a sh*t tonne of work unfortunately; brakes and suspension (the D2's are great, but can't be certified here) at the least. But likely lots of small a.hole jobs too

Welcome Back!!!!!!

It's been a while since you've been around these parts mate

Don't even know if anyone still comes here... Still got mine... Lolol

Well the only people resurrecting old threads are n00bs, russian hackers, or old-timers

I am still here - just about !

This month marks my 20th year of ownership - here is how she looks at present.

All the best to all remaining owners out there!

Nice Supra

I think it’s 13-14 years with panda.
She has been hibernating for the last 6 years, with an inch thick dust blanket Keeping her warm .

A couple more days to 9 years for me.
A daily, except for 7 months last year.

I've had 4 running cars over 7 years? does that count?

You've probably also had 7 running cars over four years.
