Guys,

Just joined the AU Camp today with the purchase of a 2002 SeriesIII XR8 Manual in Silver...

Got it at an awesome price, car is filthy at the moment so no pics (needs a wicked clean)

Looking forward to getting down to some modding and bugging you guys with newbie AU questions

Cause you got impatient

But thats something I wass wondering when I was looking for my car why would so many people buy a sport sedan in auto, I know not that many people go to the drags so in my view it defeats the purpose. Any way I'm bablling again.

Hey Honer has it got the rebel kit or standard?, any options added?, how's she drive? and finally

Cheers guys

Haha DH yeah I been looking for one for years.. Settled for a EL2 XR8 a few years back as I couldn't find a Manual AU3... Should of waited as I just got impatient and wanted a car.. But everything has worked out great now.

So happy I got one now.. Got a smile from ear to ear.. Spent a few hours cleaning it tonight.. Though its only 10% done !

Whoosha, thats an awesome 1/4 you got out of your car. Hopefully I'll be able to get similer results out of mine !!
