Default Wanted: A Huuuge Favour...

Hey guys and girls... i was just wondering if anybody might like to do me a huuuuge favour...

I'd like to buy a TL50 or a FBT and i was wondering if anybody in melbourne who owns one of these would possibly take me for a spin, or perhaps even let me have a test drive...

At the moment i'm putting away money and will sell my car when it's time, but i'd just like to see what these cars are really like, and how they drive... so i can make a decision...

if anybody can help out it would be greatly appreciated...

thanks heaps
kris

My brother has an FBT. I absolutely love driving it. Grandpa looks with a bit of poke.
I might be able to talk him into coming on Friday night.
And you know who has the TL!

P.S. Looking for a "T" badge that mounts above stereo.
