Just wondering why you got rid of the XR8?
Hey mate,

I decided to move on from the 8 for a few reasons:

1) I have had my fun, and am definitely glad I got a chance to own an 8, but the way I was going, I was just gonna keep spending money on it and either end up in massive debt, or round a pole

2) I've kinda got sick of going through a tank and a half a week, so wanted something that was better on fuel whilst still having a bit of fun

3) I was missing manual wayyyy to much

4) the xr5t jumped out at me and I thought I wouldn't mind a smaller car and of course it ticked the boxes as far as fuel economy plus the fun factor.

Test drove one, liked it, test drove again, loved it.

The one i now have also had the leather seats, which at first, I didn't really care about, but once I sat in them I thought "gotta have these!!" (plus they have bum warmers! perfect for the 5am drive into work this morning haha)

So glad I've done it, absolutely love it to death.

Thanks bucky! I'll have to come back down to canberra to show you all
