Yeah it is on the forums. It looks hot but sits a bit too low in the rear for my liking.

That's Bluedrivers XR8. Always liked it and those wheel suit it to a T (he'll get the joke).

i agree with all of the above, sweet ride, sits too low in the rear for me also, and mags just set it off perfectly. i love the front bar, much better then the standard bar for an xr8. it looks like a cross between a t bar and an xr bar...noooiiiiice!!!

That's not Mauries old car. The mileage is too low and it was bought by a different member on the forums

Heres the thread

Great car, just too low. I would be happier with Tickford 17's also, but hey, that's just me!

I wonder what he'll end up getting for it? Reckon he'll get the 20K?

That's the XR50 bar, designed and built by Falkeen and now sold by many fibreglass body kit places.

Go figure! It amazes me that in each state the prices can be so different. I guess some people let em go for too little, others expect too much and of course it also depends on one's ability to haggle on price!

Nice car though!

Its not just each state, but each city can differ. Prices in Townsville are usually a couple of $k abouve here in Mackay and its only 400km's away
