I don't know about you guys but we need to have a coastal cruise this summer cause the weather improving!!! Got a couple of idea to make it happen though with a massive Ford only turnout!! Oh yeah.

Hey Jimte50 are you going to motorvation this weekend?

Hands up here too mate. Not on the coast but only a quick burst up the highway to get there.

the boys there are doing some extra "work" on the engine for me ATM :

haven't seen your car though mate- if we end up having some kind of meet we'll catch up for sure

Thanks buddy! Yeah, it's hard to beat the sound of an iron headed, pushrodded, 2 valve V8 engine at near on 6000rpm I reckon.........

wait til you hear it in a few weeks time :Up_to_som
:

Some don't like it- but I reckon it sounds so racy- it's just gets loud so quick, doesn't drone but with just the twin lukey race's no res' or anything it does sound like the old school V8 should- I am scared to change the note, but with the heads and cam etc- that alone will make a difference and I really should beef up the pipes to help free up the new-found HP a bit more; will just have to try and keep the sound as close as I can..........

so you have a 350z (too?) sweet- my fave 2 door jap car

mate- I am everywhere! But I'm not hard to miss, eh? (I can not park out the front of Langtrees)

Glad you like my ride, I'm so proud of it- it's amazing how much of a head turner it is- I saw it coming down the road from a test drive at Titans the other day and I was drooling!! lol

My first car was a 1985 Daihatsu Scat (lol for those in the know!), a 1982 Nissan MQ SWB Patrol and I have had 5 Fords since I turned 18- a 95 XG auto Xr6, a 98 AU1 XR8 manual sedan, a 98 XHII XR8 manual (185kw), a new 2001 AU2 XR8 auto sedan (220kw) and the T3 I bought new in 2003- I have NEVER had a car this long and I have NEVER looked forward to driving anything like I do when I get to drive my car- which is about 800km a week; and I love every bloody minute of it- I love how it drives, the way it sounds, the fact that not everyone has one or even know what it is- but against everything the AU was taken as , I love the way it looks- I always have, I love what I have done with it- it suits me in every way I can think of and nothing that is material in this world gives me the joy this car does.

And I can not wait til the day I can see this car giving my son the same joy it has given me.

GO THE T3!!

Anyway- I WILL get to the Tickford/FPV Owners Club one Day- I downloaded and filled out the application which has been sitting in the front of my diary since September last year- I want to join your Clan!!

I just can't ever seem to get around to doing it............ But I will.

XR AYTE do you live out this way (Cannington area- I'm in Canning Vale)
