Default The Fez....................

So for the first time in a very very long time, my daily driver is not a Nissan/Datsun.........so now the club has it's first XR4 under the new constitution.


Sitting in the pre-delivery yard.....


I picked up my new toy last Friday


Then went the plates....


A minor touch.......

Congrates, I know that it will be run in soon enough when you can take me for spin.

P.S. My new addition should be ready soon too, maybe even this weekend.

I love the plates.

Sea Grey is a great colour. It was my 2nd choice when I bought the XR5.

Got a couple more pics i thought i'd share......

Now it's tinted i don't feel like a goldfish...


Caught up with my dad on the weekend.... we approve of his taste in vehicles (needed something to tow the 5th wheeler) but jeez mine looks even tinier!!! When I was following him and stopped behind him at lights, he said he knew i was there but couldn't see me in any mirrors......
