How many AU's have you had?

[Casper]

After a MSN discussion with Dark Horse he brought up an interesting point. There seems to be an ongoing trend of people who either own multiple AU's or have "upgraded" from one AU to another (and another etc). There have even been members that have moved to a different car and then come back to the AU fold.
Dark Horse started rattling off quite a few names of "multi AU owners" either at the same time (like GK having 2) or having owned many over a period of time (JC, your at about 4 aren't you?. Falkeen is at 3).

So heres an interesting poll. How many AU's have you owned? (past and/or present)

Seems that those who have them grow to love them.

2 for me. Was going to get a VT Commode in 1999 but had to wait too long for a wagon, so bought an AU wagon brand new instead. Loved it so much I picked up an ex-RTA s3 Futura wagon from the auctions for my wife when her Camry got too long in the tooth.

Yep Casper, 4 is close, but it's actually been 5 for me.

AU1 XR8 manual (mine)
AU1 XR6 auto (missus')
AU2 Forte V8 (mine)
AU2 Forte Wagon I6 (missus'/mine)
AU1 XR8 auto (mine)

iv had 6. they all failed.

[JC]

Wow, so far 60% of AU owners have owned 2 or more! Who says we have no taste! Be interesting to see if the trend continues past the 5 people who have voted thus far.

Also, If you had an AU stock, and now your AU is heavily modified, does that count as 1 or 2 cars?

One for me.

[Bucknaked]

One for me

[HLC]

lol ive had 1. but i upgraded from an e-series.

[Riksta]

Mine's my first but I never wanna get rid of it :P

Even when I upgrade I wouldn't mind upgrading to a Fairlane or LTD - in the AU model of course!

I used to hate them until I was linked to pictures of TS50's by mates when I started talking about buying an EF/EL - then I fell in love with the AU.

[GlennBA]

I had one.. they're fantastic cars!

[curtleyw]

I have only had 1 but I will be getting another at the end of the year!

[AK]

Just the 1 for me but my parents had one a couple of years ago and I was converted. So my family has owned 2 so far.

[Lukeyson]

2 for me, still got them

AUII XR8 Sedan
AUII XR8 Ute

[blacklabel]

Just one for me-so far, I'd really like an AU Xr8. They just look and sound the bizzo!

[DoreSlamR]

2 for me, both utes first was I6 XL with bad kays, second is V8 XLS with good kays

[onfire]

Just the one, Im planning on keeping this old thing for a while.. but something along the lines of a Series III XR8 would be a nice replacment in a few years.

[TwistedEL]

One for me and I have tried to convice the Mrs. to trade her Hyundai and get another one, still working on that.

[S3SR]

1 for me, and hopefully more to come

[NARCEA]

Currently own two:
AUII Forte
AUIII XR8

Cheers

[v8falconsrule]

just one so far and hopefully i'll kep it for ever..it's too good a car to sell. would love a t- series or an xr8 for a plaything sometime in the future. :

it's funny how poeple hate the au till they got to know them, then they'll swear how good a car they are- personally i hated the series 1 forte( the grille and dash espessially)... but the series 2/3 just look and perform so well.

[T3man]

3 for me ... and not finished yet ...

[mik]

only 1 for me but when finances kick in again an xr8 might join the fleet or an ex taxi to be a track/ fun car.

[jimt3te50]

Yep 3 for me-

1998 AU1 XR8 sedan, 185kw, winter white with full bodykit, 17's and a manual (worst car I've owned)
2001 AUII XR8 sedan, 220kw, narooma blue with full kit and 17" TE50 wheels, an auto (bought new)
2002 T3 TE50 (current car, bought new) love of my material life

[AU_Wagin]

2.5 for me )

AU I V8 Fairmont Wagon, bloody awefull brakes, and after the 4 or so factory upgrades including the front door hinges, its was a great AU wanting a brake upgrade

AU II Wagon Organza - you love it in summer, hate it in winter- glows in the sun I still have and love this wagon - it has the 5.6 stroker out of TS50 Build 89 in it, so, I recon I have owned 2.5 as I have its heart )

you can see the TS50 on my aufalcon car pics
