    Is me

    Ok I am here call off the search party and bring on the party girls.

    Been a long couple of months, the story of my Fender is almost at a close and I will fill you all in on the one very soon.
    Lets just say that my dislike of car dealers is now at its lowest point.

    Started looking for a 2nd vehical but not with a lot of enthousiasm, but had to fly down to Perth the on to Bunbury for family buisness and while I was down there I looked a bit harder at the cars.

    We have two car yards here and a choice that is very small.

    Had a ute in mind and wanted a V8 as well (I miss my V8's), was leaning towards the fords because of the larger cab area, but was open to all idea's.

    Long story short I found one.

    Now have a AU series 3 XR8 ute with tray back not style sides.
    Goes like the clappers as the first owner has added lots of good stuff to it.
    Drove it back to Hedland after the family stuff was over and was even more impressed.
    So now I have a Defender(story on it soon) as a play toy and a XR8 as a play toy.

    I need a bigger shed 8O

    I wouldnt mind an XR8 Ute, I would love a BA XR8, jeez they are nice. But due to price and popularity they are pricey on the second hand market. Now an AU, thats another story. A ford that many people said were ugly, as standard they were but the XR's with those twin headlights are really nice and with everyone trading up on a BA model there are heaps of bargains to be had. Good choice BB.


    Oh, and welcome back. Matt
