Well, after fixing the brakes this morning (a HUGE thanks to Theo and Chris at Bluepower, and John from Herrods for tracking down some of the elusive 329mm discs - second hand, but they got me home), we left around 1pm, one fuel stop somewhere (Holbrook???) and a good (and legal) run got me home at 7.56pm! Mick probably got home 5 or 10 minutes before that because he ;lives closer to Victoria than I do. As RG & GK have already posted up, I love this car! I was expecting a hard ride (it's waaaaayyy low), but it's very, very good; just an effortless cruiser - in fact km travelled + DTE probably meant I could have made it home without a stop on the way. There will, of course, be a few mods for this one too; nothing drastic, just the leather interior out of the fairmont (which originally came from a series 2 XR anyway), my 18s, DVD head unit, and reverse camera and that's about it (famous last words, I suppose). Oh, and some new front RDA rotors as soon as they are released (currently only DBA stock them)! And BA pedals. And maybe angel eyes. There will be a build thread!
