Toowoomba: New FTOs.

Post by pete_gpx »

Seems to be a few new FTOs coming into little old Toowoomba, these days.

Today I spotted a silver pre-facelift with a GPvR wing along Ruthven St.

A few days ago I passed another silver FTO on Ruthven, this one with a Veilside front bar and a sun roof.

There is also a half silver, half black (silver front end, going to black half way along the side with a spiky sort of pattern) that I've seen around a lot, driven by a middle aged guy.

Just posting up to see if any of you are registered on the forums. Would definitely be keen to meet up with any one of you for a chat or local cruise sometime. Mine is the red GPX with white wheels and, at present, a blue front bar.

I work at WOW in the car audio section. I'm there 5 days a week so you should come and say hello sometime when you have a spare minute. I definitely hear you when you say you're tired of the daily Commodore patrol in Toowoomba. Every day I have to deal with a multitude of bogans wanting to buy a 'fully sick' sound system for their 'hektik' commondore.

Haha, might have been me, my name's Pete.

Join up the to Toowoomba Car Forum - http://www.toowoombacarforum.com/ if you're interested in being part of the local, albeit near dead, car scene. I'm friends with a lot of the people on there and I can say that most of them are good guys. There's the occasional organised cruises that draw big numbers, which are always fun.

Another member of this forum, Garth (aka. RallyMad) is a really nice guy. He drives a white GPvR with 17" Enkeis and Topmix sideskirts. I'm actually heading over to his place tomorrow to take a look at my throttle position sensor and do a few small things.

PM me if you're free tomorrow and want to hang out with some fellow FTO drivers.

Respect for the kudos Pete, :D

They'd be D'cuarto skirts too, not topmix you fool :roll: :D ;)

As you can see I'm back :!: Bored at the moment but really should go to bed shortly......


If you guys want to meet up at some time I'll come along in the FTO hatch ;) and be the token old guy :D Until it sells and I get the FTO fixed anyway. Know anyone that would be interested? Seeing as Pete was too soft ;) :D

Anyway, there is the blue one that silvergpx has spotted as well (though it might have been here on holidays) and the new silver one craig from TCF has as well. What colour was that other one that wanted to you rev your engine that night Pete, and I've since been told by Adrian and a few others the other storing you told me about this tool.....
