Default Have just joined the AU club

Today i joined the AU club with the purchase of a AU2 Forte, its just a stocker in white but in near immaculate condition and has only done 117000km. I reckon it is quieter than my BA Fairmont for wind and road noise and i know they are better on fuel than the BA. Going to put my Fairmont 16" alloys on it and put 17" BA XR alloys on the Fairmont. Might even go a Full add on body kit like the AU tickford kit on fairmonts just the little lip all round. Only paid $6000 for it, it is the new work car amd the Mrs is getting the BA.

Welcome Aboard. 6K is a steal for the condition you state.

you'll know when you have the bug when you stop asking "how much?" referring to dollars and start asking "how much?" refering to 10ths off your ET. :
