Well that was a very sudden move, but obviously in the right direction in terms of upgrade. Congrats on the purchase, its a real head turner. Contacts are definitley good to have.

I have no problems with you staying as long as we can call it FANTA.

Looks like everyone is upgrading to bigger and better things. Tho XR4 is the one for me. :

Oh dude, that's awesome! Congrats for the XR5T. It's what I'd like to get next! The XR5T is a wonderful car, hope you like it as much as I did (when my mate took me for a spin in his).

No u dun have to leave this forum... what we dont want u to do is join XR5T Forum and be a big time snob. jk.

I gotta check it out sometimes.

Hey Brightham (did I get that right?!)

Congrats on the new purchase. Always good having connections with people that sell the brand you love ;)

Good luck with the XR5T. That's the exact colour/interior combo I'd get.

Once again you'll be teasing me every morning on the way to work...

Cheers,

Steve

Nice ride - the exact colour I'd have if I go with the XR5T! Nice!

AWESOME!

Yet another to convert to bigger and better from the Fez ;)

The XR5 Looks sex with the black euro's! Personally, I've gone off em a bit, since they weren't recieved critically well in australia AS compared to the UK and Europe, but they're still a really nice car! Awesome looking!!! WOW.

Congrats again mate ;)
