Cool New Toy...

... And new username to boot :P

Picked up my new car last friday, 98 EL XR8. Pretty much stock except for the tinted windows.










I really enjoy driving it, very smooth ride. been well maintained, full service history and only got 106xxx k's.
And love the power. hehe.

Looks awesome mate, very clean!

Identical to mine except I have 2 less holes in the engine! :P

That Tickford bodykit really does look nice, gives me an idea what mine would look like with it...hmmm...
