yeah Jason the brock is now behaving itself again.
John the way the AU performs I would love to buy another EA. The only good thing to come outa this comming weekend is I will now have a car I can go Mod crazy on cause its factory not a custom car. |

Don't be too sad there is some life in the old AU wagon if you mod it.
No its never going to be a collectable or a race car whatever you do but with a few mods it will at least feel alive and responsive in a luxo barge sort of way. |

Sorry to see the Brock go, though I know what you mean about more common models being fun to modify to hell.

so why are you getting rid of it, and why dont you have a say in it ? It's your car isn't it ? Someone would have asked this eventually.
It's a shame to lose the brock, but an the AU's are pretty nice.

R.I.P
but life continues...the AU's have heaps of Mod possibiliites, and you are obviously passionate about your cars so I'm picking the AU won't be boring for to long, wreckers, tickford, him the ideas should start to flow! or Buy an old E series that needs work for next to nothing and start you NEW PROJECT CAR!!!!!!! Miss your old girl, never forget her, but also I sense real opportunity here! |

the brock is owned by his dad.
his dad has been using the AU for the whole time, and thus Chad has been using the Brock. now comes time to swap back.

yeah john your almost right. the brock was dads and the au was mine but we tranferred cars between each other(this was a one way tranfer so the brock became mine). because i dont have the greatest bond with my family i made a decision in march to give dad the brock back and take the au back but i have been holding off as long as i could. i really dont wanna give the old girl back but in an effort to repair family bonds im returning her to dad. its hard but for a repair of the family bonds i have no choice.

ahh that makes sence. Sorry if it seemed like I was prying. Best of luck with it all, hopefully your oldman will take care of the Brock, and perhaps one day you could buy the EA off him.
Cheers.  :
