I'd love to see some pictures of the car!

Sorry you have to sell it, I would love it, always wanted an 8, AU XR have got to be one of the best Ford have made.

Sadly for me, money is tight, our second child is due in a month, meaning the Futura Wagon and SR Sedan report for cost effective family duties! LOL!

So please post some pics so a tightly budgetted probably only an ever I6 owner can have some viewing pleasure and dream of what could be! LOL!

How about an Auto with ESS? Not quite a manual, but a good compromise.

Note: BDs car doesn't have ESS yet, but it can be added soon for not much cash!

His car only has the XR50 front - skirts and rear bar are C2R/rebel/racing kit. And yes, it looks damn tough - except the wussy wheels! LOL.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
I can't believe you are selling it.
*SIGH* ... I just don't have the cash for it.
Will be sad to see it go ... I hope you find a responsible owner that will look after it as well as you have.

Damn shame to see one of the nicest AUs for sale ... and leaving the family.

Oh thanks guys for the nice comments, I have been away for 12days and just got it out of the garage for a looksy, damn shame it still gives me a woody ! but onto the turn on and yes it's still Blue Oval I'd say.

Peuty maybe auto but bummometer feels good, edit would have been done by Spiro next week if we could fit it in but deciding to sell isn't worth it obviously.
If and when she does go I hope they love it as much as I did.

hehe LG, with the mod I6 bug getting Casper you never know mate I may need some folding very soon lol.....

IF you got into it and drove it you probably couldn't bear driving an I6 again. :nutsycuck
