FTO AUSTRALIA

This probably shows my age more than anything else, but.....

He's nearly 3, sits in the back seat and is already calling it 'MY CAR'. Every time he comes out with this I have this image of him asking for the keys...



P.S. Yes, kids and FTO's can work. Thats what the annoying child restraint things on top of the speakers are for.

Hehehe, he's going to be a tinkerer like his father I guess?

One of the UK boys has a child that he also puts in the back seat too.


Edit: The little soldier got a first name??

Me too... My daughter's three and a half and happily goes in a child seat in the back - there are a couple on the market that are thin enough to make the FTO usable as a daycare taxi.

It's a very light child seat too, which makes it feasible to still get quick times at the track with it in place. Tends to wind up the other drivers when you beat 'em in an FTO with a kiddie seat installed!!!! hehe.

Yes, I'm evil.

Names Cameron, an yes, he already likes tinkering (usually at my expense). I reckon he'll be able to comfortably fit into the back until he is about 7.

7??? My 14yo still folds himself into the back seat and the day he doesnt fit - he walks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or asks you for a loan to get his own FTO!! or worse yet, his own Hyabusa!!

Or worse still, ask me for the keys to myFTO!

or worse takes it for a joy ride when u leave the keys on the kitchen bench... and writes it off by wrapping it around a phone post...

teenagers!

yeah its annoying because i live with my sister and she has just had a baby 7months ago and she has already been saying a baby seat will look good in my car...lol

yeah that stupid baby seat holder on the speaker annoyed me heaps...bcoz when i bought the car there was a huge retalling sound from the speaker and it was that metal thing hitting the case of the speaker:(

fixed it now though..

Just make sure you put it back on if you ever sell the vehicle or have to have it inspected by RTA or whoever.


They can defect you on it due to ADR.

nah man both of the baby seat thing is still on i just took the bolt off and bought a rubber ring to put between the baby seat holder thing and the speaker covers...yeh my friend got done for that thing so i new it had to stay in..

thanx anyway man...at least i know your helpful...this site is wikd:P

I actually managed to find a rear parcel shelf without the mods made to it (pre compliance). I have the original with all the appropriate bolts and brackets set aside if I need it. Cameron is now old enough for a booster seat and so uses the normal seatbelt. Word or warning, if you use the restraint on the speaker to attach a child seat, it compresses the headrest (PERMANENTLY). Lucky I had a spare rear seat!!!

im so never having kids

I've give u another 10yrs & see what happen ahahahha

kids.... or fto.... hmmmmmm tough decision im not buing a galant just cause its a family wagon

Ahhh,

But they can exist in the same reality (its not a 2 seater).

im so never having kids

Ill live to see you eat those words one day........

yeah man you may say that you dont want kids but one day that condomn may go SNAP and you're chick may want it and you will be a dad no matter what!!!

thanx man for telling me about that head rest...ill just tell my sister that so i get out of having the little sh*t in my car...lol

i would kill her if she threw up in my car...lol

even if someone spilt a drink or food i would go off at them!!!

I'm with you mate

The trick is to not let food in the car. Unfortunately, the puke is another matter. Happily I havent had to deal with that one.
