Default Guess What Happens When you Wake early

You can get a Sprint :P

Yes I have finally got another Sprint .......... We left at about 3.30am for a HUGE round trip to pick her up before she was snavelled up by someone else :newangel:


Will have some piccys up tomorrow as the batteries were dead in my camera tonight ..... Just my luck ......

Few details though........

Cobolt Blue
Super low king springs ( This girl is LOW as !!!!!!!!!! )
17"AUXR8 rims(no spacers)
Did the 350 odd k's home very very easily
She needs a little TLC though not as much as I expected

I am after a sprint spoiler kit for her & am seriously thinking of selling off the Sprint rims & keeping the AU ones on .... They have grown on me through the day I must say ..........

Am I a happy girly right now ......... OHHHHHH Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My very own Sprint again :dj:

congrats, i love the sprint, in white especially, still have the brochure i sent away for back in '93 i think it was ?

Personally i'd keep the original wheels on it, they look hot. Some of the best Ford wheels in my opinion. But it's your baby, do what you like and enjoy!

yeah i can understand y... how do the auto sprints go? would they be faster then a xr6 manual or does the auto take alot to get moving... im assuming the near 200kw would get the auto moving along decently..:P

Thanks heaps guys

Troy ... She purred all the way home .......... I even had to relinquish part of the trip & drive the cruiser .... hehehehehehhehe ..... We have a convert I knew the Sprint would do it ..... The OH loves her as much as I do :P

Piccys will be forthcomming in next few days ................ She needs a wash AGAIN !!!! We washed her in Mudgee and then came across road works .......... Wasnt happy about that ...........

After crawling up our drive I have decided that the Springs definatly have to go ....... Anyone wanting some SuperLow King Springs let me know ...... I need some standard ones URGENTLY ................ Its a bit silly getting passengers out of the car just to get over a railway line ............

Good stuff! I remember on the old forums asking about your old Sprint *sniff*

I was tempted to get the one you're now the proud owner of, but I couldn't afford it sadly. I must say the AU rims suited it really well too.

Good luck with it all

Good stuff lisa !!
IMO, keep the sprint rims.. sooner or later you will regret it if you sell them ... even if you leave them off the car !!.

I'm glad that after all this time you finally got back into one ... XR8Sprint Gal

Very nice... If you mean the full bodykit, talk to InitialD. I think he has one for sale.

If I was ever to jump into an EA-ED, it would definately be a sprint!
