Congratulations and welcome to the club.

Wait till your dreams start featuring your new baby every time.... You have to go out and check she's ok in the middle of the night!

great stuff, welcome to the club
and don't feel stupid when you park your car and walk to your destination backwards coz you have to see what your baby looks like from the other side...
i had nervous twitches until i got my mate to take my car and gun it, so i could see and hear what it looked like from a viewers perspective lol
recommendation: drive behind your car, switch cars with mate or missus and get them to do the F1 tire warming swirves... (at low speed if the missus
) man it looks awesome the way it snakes down the road, or when they floor it behind you and you see it comming fast in your rearview mirror... ahhh the chunk of sanity we lose when buying this car, gotta love it

So Paddy, What was the defining factor that made this FTO stand out from the others that you looked at?

Well you don't need 100k to get an FTO with all the mods you done to your "real" FTO, its only stage one ehheehe

sorry im a bit slow here guys, dont get a lot of net time.....
its funny ive found myself doing all those things..... i dream about it, i look at it all the time...., and yes i go out a check on it at night... lol
and i bought it in GT4.... haha
as for driving behind looking at it doing F1 tire warming... thats a great idea....
there were two main decisive factors that made me pick this FTO.... the rims.... and the rare japanese body kit, ive never seen it...... im not a fan of looking like anyone else.. no offence to VSide guys, but i the fact that no-one has it....
oh the DVD player helped..lol
manual GPX is a bit rarer aswell..
i ended up taking it to a diferent mechanic, as i wanted it asap..... i was very impatient...., still driving like a dream, and she still surprises me with her pace....!!
smoked a VL turbo.... that stooge was so cut!

Good stuff Pat, but just don't get carry away & end up in trouble, or sh*t loads of speeding fines hehehe
heeheh just for the record, there are 4 guys in melbourne i'm aware of who had the same kits as yours, so you not the only one who got it ehehehhe but if you compare to Veilside & stockers, then hell yeah they are bloody rare.
