How rare is rare??

Post by lal »

I don't think we have a poll on what type of FTO's we drive and what's int it.
People say that having a GPX that is manual is rare, having a sunroof with it even rarer... plus maybe the colour of it makes it even rarer :?:

So just wanted to know what type we all drive here and try to determine "how rare is rare"
and it'll be good to know what model and transmission is mostly driven.

For the sake of this exercise I only put down the 3 "common" models
ie. GR, GPX, GPvR

before anyone shoots me 8) .. I don't know the combo (whether all has the option of a sunroof etc). I just thought I'd put a simple combination.

Any other feature that makes your car unique you can declare :) except things added for "show car" effect 8)

Dandelion yellow GPX manual with factory sunroof! :twisted:

Kev, I think Jun said it best at the photo shoot, when he was trying to work out what to do with your car so the dent wouldn't show up in the photo. He said something like, "the way to make Kev's car look better is to put another one in front of it". lol! :lol:

I love your car Kev, hate the dent, when you getting it fixed?

Got a chip on my spoiler now from the high pressure jet from one of those DIY car wash places. Not impressed! Perhaps we'll park our cars next to each other at the cruise and try to hide the marks! :wink:

Man if having a "dent" for more then 6 months is rare then I've got a bloody rare one with the amount of time my poor baby has been damaged for... :cry: and before anyone asks 'Why don't you fix it' cos every time I got the $$$ together some other expensive sh*t would come up and gobble up all my money and know that I'm not working I can barely afford a Big Mac TM *suddenly everyone goes OHHHHH* [Damn I sound like such a little bitch.... :wink: ]
