Evening all,
Though I would start a Xmas thread for us AUvians. Yeah, yeah, I know I own a B-series now. But I still have 2 AUs in my stable & will never let them go. May you all stay safe over the holidays. And most importantly, enjoy getting out & criusing in our AUs!  |

Thank-you! Straight back at ya.
I will avoid driving the BAII as much as I can  And see if I can get my own car these holidays too (since parents may have to keep the AUII wagon just a lil longer)... maybe an AU Fairlane... Needa cloud to come over and wet all the gravel roads... time the wagon had a mud bath. |

Now that we know about freaks and weirdos and what some people think, I thought I would bring this thread back on track.
My lovely wife spent some good hard earned on taking care of the workshop. Not quite as elegant as Whoosha's but incredibly stoked with the thought.  Lucky Stu.

This thread will never be on track. Even though I sway the other way these days, I still have another AU in the pipeline. And once an AU weirdo, always an AU weirdo.
And yes, epic amounts of sarcasm in this post.

I dont bag, I accept. We are all one of the same, lol.
Mate I love AU's, and would have bought one for a daily, but they are just getting a little old. Still need one to have fun in from time to time though. Honestly the worst mistake I made was giving up my AU's and going to a BA. Hopefully Ive rectified that with the FG now.
