Question Thort I'd Say ... G'DAY FORDSTERS -

Hey you guys / girls,

I'm new to this forum and Firstly, would like to say G'Day 2 U all.

I would also like to know ...is it Ok to advertise my pride and joy (BA XR6 - BluePrint) on this (or any other forum) on this site.

I have lowered myself to using public transport to get to work (NSW Central Coast to Sydney) and want my XR to go to a good home.

If you can assist that would be GR8

Hi Bluefin4u,
It's not looked upon well if you join to sell a car.
Maybe let your post count get around the 20-30 mark before placing a "for sale" add.

Great work checking before hand.

Welcome to the forums.

Hi Fiery

I'm already havin a gr8 time ... you folks are all so welcomin'

I Got a job In Sydney and I live on the Central Coast (approx 100kms apart, thats 200 clicks a day) Its cheaper to go the train, and yes, I know, I have lowered my self beyond belief (to catch public transport that is), but thats life .. and I cant bare the thought of my pride and joy just sittin at the station car park in the weather, or even worse ... gettin knocked off AAARRRRRHHHHHH !!!!, so I want her to go to a good home.

Hey, yeh its a gr8 site ... doubt if I'll change my mind though.... could be converted to gettin an FPV later though.

PS:

YES I'M A MALE hA hA

Of course we are all welcoming.. we are all FORD people after all.. :1syellow1

That's a huge distance to travel everyday for work.. Can totally understand why you would use P.T

Oh and that is part of my signature.. long long story that goes a little way back.. :the_finge

Don't you have a garage? Can't you leave your car at home all week and lay rubber on the weekend? Oh well you probably need to upgrade to a V8 anyway!!

Just a quick heads up though.. Type out your posts... People don't take to kindly to abbreviating like you are texting...
So if it looks like a message you would send on your phone or maybe msn.. change it.... Make the words complete.. it costs you exactly the same amount :
