Well aren't I just a glutton for punishment!

Today I found an XF 5 speed. Unregistered and NOT free. (bummer)

As not free as it is it IS very cheap and looks great for the price... so watch this space! XF Manual possibly coming soon!

Knowing my luck though either someone will steal this one as well, or alternatively I will get ripped off and then the cops will recover my freebie... then I will have 2 of the bastards I cant sell!

hahahaha - its good to see that even though I havent actually even seen the car, let alone named it - you still insist that it is called the name YOU thought of!

LOL - alright you can have Stollie if I find it. But since we're being russian here you can expect that the brake lines will be slashed!

hahaha - the reason it is called the boong ute, is because I was driving it one day and we saw one of the same model coming towards us... we had to pull over from laughing so hard - this car was being driven around Midland in WA by a man of "indigenous" culture... and HIS was in BETTER condition!

Anyhoo car update: Went to look at it. Complete and utter POS! My Paddock bashers are in better condition than this heap!

She wanted 600... I told her I would give her $50 for the new tyres on it and she could throw in the rest of the car as landfill...

This car was so bogged up you couldnt see where the car ended and the filler began!

That, and the engine was idling at 4500 RPM (!)

I'd call it Harrison.

Harrison Ford in the Fugitive. It works on so many levels.

ahhhhhh clever! ;)

Unfortunatley though, I hold out no hope for "Stollie" and there is no way in hell I would buy the other heap of s#!^

So hence I guess I dont need to think up a car name!

Will be buying something soon though... maybe a Ford, maybe not. Either way I'll keep you posted and will hold a "name my car" competition!

Winner can have... a prize... of... something...
