Sad to say whilst I've only been an FTO owner in spirit now for a couple of years, my girl has moved on to the FTO afterlife.

Don't know the details of her demise, not game to contact the current/last owner. I prefer to remember her in happier times.

That would be horrible
I don't want to ever sell mine, that's one of the reasons....

The guy that has this car now got it from an auction... It was written off from an accident with two trees
I pretty much got everything cool off the car... I wouldn't mind getting the rims though and the strut brace

Well, I've always been a fan of organ donation

Ah, thanks Stef. Maybe he should have put a bull bar on it rather than under car neons

The rims will cost more to repair than they were worth brand new. I scratched one once and found that out the hard way. What did you end up getting off her?

We're going back quite a few years and my memory's a bit sketchy but I think I paid somewhere between $180 - $250 per wheel. Repairing one wheel - again, quite some years back - cost almost $300.

Was the cruise control still in there?
I can see the controller for it on the console still...
Sucks to see.

The unit wouldn't be much good without the controller so I'm guessing it would be.

Give her a kiss for me and tell her I'm sorry

Yea he said he still had the whole unit, wants to sell the rest as a whole though or it will start to lose value - and i will HiRAEdd - is there anything in particular you want off this car that will still be on it for memories sake? happy to put something aside for you

haha, thanks for the offer but nah, I don't think there's any one item worthy of a keepsake. I've got a photo of her blown up on canvas in my office, that's my keepsake

Probably the best way to keep her memory
Looks like it was an awesome car back when you had it though, lot of effort must of went into it
