Welcome Lok! Hope you enjoy the forum. That's quite an extensive list of previously owned cars.

Haha! Talking to Phat even BEFORE you've received your Liberty. You'll fit right in here. :D That 'Future mods' list will certainly grow.

Welcome Loweart. Yeah, I was so anxious to pick mine up I couldn't wait the extra day - I got things rushed through and picked it up the day before.

Is yours a Spec B?

Oh, and your falcon. Was it an EF or an XF 'S' Pack?

Thanks for the welcome Symthie and pointing out my typo in the listing of previous rides. Yes, it was an EF Falcon XR6 in metallic navy blue. Funny you should mention that you got things rushed through so you pickup your car a day early, it's exactly what I have done. I was meant to pickup the car this Friday but have bumped it up to today.

Mine is the 3.0R, must be getting older not to be able handle the firmer Bilstein suspension :lol: Actually, just happy to be finally able to find a 3.0 for sale that is in the right condition and price. :D

Near Mt Gravatt is very handy and accessible too !

That's one sweet ride you have there and I'm sure it brings you many smiles :D

Speaking of smiling, I knocked off work for the afternoon to pickup my 3.0R a day early and on the way home I picked up my new 2DIN headunit, ext SAT nav box and Bluetooth kit, YAY !!!!

No guesses on what I'll be up to this coming weekend ! :idea:

Hi Lok and welcome to the site.

Also in the MtGravatt area, and am sure I have seen the XR6 on the road.
Brother-in-law has a XB Hardtop. Was a lame 6cyl. Since has put in a 351, tricked up the motor, suspension (panhard rod & 9" rear end), wheels/tyres, brakes & HO fuel tank. Spent more on it than most would spend on their boat!!! The family calls it a bucket of bolts, but shit it goes!!!!
Ex-rotisserie man. I had a RX2 & RX3. Much work on it?
Z28 eh??? Good gear!!!
Enough of the Falcons, who did the heart transplant on the XJ6? Would have been a nice little sleeper.
That Phatman is quite contagious!!

Will you retain rego. LOK-01?
