14.4 is a good run, you have to be happy with that. Winning the DYO is even better
Was that a Personal Best time?

ahhh, then the addiction has started.

G&D will do that to you.. I should know. Just watch that Matt character, he's got some wild ideas (and we wouldnt have him any other way) :

Troy well done on the time. Fantastic result, especially first time out. I checked your car out a few weeks ago when it was sitting at G&D. I even took pictures of your rims with my mobile because they caught my eye. Lol hope you don't mind but I needed a picture of them for reference and to show a couple of people. Anyway, it's a very nice car and obviously very quick :sm_headba

Well done to G&D on producing yet another quick AU.

Leave it with me, I'll get the usernamed sorted tomorrow for you. Only if you promise to post up some pics though

Login etc will be the same.

Looks like Whoosha has another car for the truck on our Heathcote outings :hihi:

You could actually shorten your username to 99-XR8 or 99XR8 as all us AU owners know that any Falcon built in 99 is an AU. Just a thought.

If those names are already taken though!

Cheers,

BTW, well done on the time. It appears you are hooked! :
