greetings all,

my wife has been after an FTO for a while but all the ones we had seen either had no service history, had the ring thrashed off them or were in generally crap condition but the sellers were after a premium for them. we were about to give up when we came across this-

a 94 (older than what i was looking for)GR. FULL service history(including service history ex japan) with 100k's on the clock. every owner this car has had, had it serviced every 10k. seems to be in very good nick. our mechanic was very weary of fto's but after getting it serviced he was well impressed and (touch wood) as long as we keep the servicing up it should last her a while.

Im currently thinking of painting the grill black as it has seen better days or maybe getting new mesh (opinions appreciated)

I will be putting some nice ice in this thing so im sure i'll have loads of questions at some point.

anyway nuff bout me- the car

our son loves it and calls it "mummys jazz car" (jazz from the transformers movie)
he doesnt ride with me anymore

lol

anyways- hi

It isn't a joke it is a lifestyle decision

Nice car BTW

*gentle retort*

please note the following maybe "sensitive". read on at your own discretion.

an aussie farmer invites his kiwi mate(farmer) and his wife over for a holiday. after dinner the aussie suggests they go for a stroll around the farm while the girls catch up.

its a stunning aussie evening, the two old friends are chatting when they come across a sheep with its head stuck in a fence. before the aussie has a chance to say or do anything the kiwi has dropped his pants- runs over and gives it to the sheep. the poor aussie is sickened and agrees its what is said about kiwis all being sheep shaggers is true.

the kiwi looks back and sees the look on his mates face. somewhat embarresed the kiwi asks his mate if he wants a go. the aussie is about to go parramatta beach on his friend but the kiwi insists its great fun and the aussie shouldnt knock it till he tries it. after a bit of coxing the aussie finally agrees to give it a go- after all, the kiwi did look like he was having the time of his life!

the aussie takes a deep breath..... drops his pants......and sticks his head in the fence.
