Default Sad day

Hello all.

Today is the last day ill get to drive my car. It sold after 3 months of trying to get rid of it. Thanks all you guys for helping with problems ive had in the past. Im not leaving the Forums so ill still add my pennys worth.

The XR8's done me proud.

Won best 'Muscle Car" at the Mildura Motor Show.
Entered in the Berri Motor Show three times.
Travelled to Adelaide to go on two E-Series cruises. (Thanks guys)
Travelled on three SMASA cruises across VIC.
Ran three meetings at Mildura Sunset Strip. Best 9.5sec 1/8th mile.

Cheers
Adam

That thing is mint! You should have brought it down to a few Vic cruises.

Soon enough I'll know how you feel, my EL is for sale at the moment :(

That is a nice looking car. It will certainly be a sad day when you hand the keys over to the new owner
