tell us good news tomorrow standardau.

markxr6t · 18-03-2008, 12:28 PM

Geez - Jim. I don't think I've ever seen so many people worship a late model car! Well deserved and very unique - its a beautiful combo of show and go.

Given StandardAU's criteria I think this is the car for him!

Good luck with it!

Yeah, it's sinking in I don't have much time left to enjoy her.....

Thanks mate, it's been great fun and a real pleasure to share it with everyone.

I'm just a little overwhelmed that everyone seems to love it as much as they do and I will be very sad when she does go- not a doubt in my mind that I will choke back the lump in my throat and shed a tear.......

HLC · 20-03-2008, 10:28 PM

It may be going but it wouldn't be my place to say where- I have had quite a few people look at the car in the last few days and unfortunately I have had to make a first in-type decision as to who I will hold it for.......

so no, it's not official- that is, it hasn't

Damn. Such a nice car. Hopefully the next owner will care for it as much as you Jim.

Ive always loved the T3 since I first saw one. Maybe me have a chubby in my teenage pants...im sure you can all remember how it goes. Always been a car Id love to own....maybe one day. Id buy one over a B-series anyday. So much more charachter. B-series are B-oring now. See them on the road everyday. How many T's do you see driving around?

blueoval · 20-03-2008, 11:10 PM

hmmm, i wonder if standardau will reveal??? :P

Cam · 20-03-2008, 11:18 PM

**sits and waits**

StAndArdAU · 21-03-2008, 01:56 AM

ummmm, so aah, yeah i um, own a Blue T3 now...

And i'm F@$king EXCITED! More than Big Kev!

a BIG thankyou to Jamie (Jimt3Te50) for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime, and the car of many a dream!!

Bloody hell, how does one go from opening up a thread on monday to being the proud owner of a T3 by thursday night?!?!?! Now just sit back and nervously wait for the truck to arrive!

I guess I can only look at it as passing the torch- I am excited for you Stevo, I remember what it was like waiting for this car to arrive when I ordered it and how it killed me waiting to get behind the wheel after the engine was done.

I said to the missus tonight that I genuinely hope the car exceeds all your expectations- there's no question that it has soul and you will hopefully enjoy it for what it is. It's not a show car- it was never meant to be, it is just a simply awesome package and you will continue to enjoy the way others admire it the way they will and the way it will make you feel from owning a truly unique, amazing motorcar. It has been the product of my dreams and will continue to surprise people beyond your belief- believe me. This thing goes hard, it looks tough and sounds unbelievable. I sincerely hope it gives you the pleasure and the reliability that it has proven to give me time and time again over the years. I can say with confidence that the car is just right, I never would have sold it til it was- as it gets cooler you will only enjoy it even more!

I must thank you again Stevo- it has been a pleasure mate, and I look forward to seeing some instalments/threads whatever you do with this machine. I genuinely hope your young family enjoy this pleasure with you- I know my own son will dearly miss the "bloo car"- he is starting to recognise words in writing and always points to the TE50 badge and says Tyler, I've always called it Tyler's car and I'm saddest over this as I would have loved to have this to hand down. I took delivery not even a week after starting to go out with my missus so everything in our lives together to this day , the car has been a part of.

It's a new chapter in our lives now- the car will not be replaced, it CANNOT be replaced. You look after her mate and she'll be good to you. You enjoy it and more importantly, the times with your loved ones which I am proud to say my car will now be a part of.

These are the cars that will be remembered and this is one that will be remembered.

All great ideas to spend big money but with a new baby on the way time and money are going to be hard to find. Buying a nice new car is an expensive option. Doing up the old one is probably a good hobby that won't cost too much but remember any money you do spend on it is lost too as the resale of modded cars is not great.

daniel_rossy · 21-03-2008, 09:55 AM

This car is beautiful...
IMO This is the Best AU ever in the whole world!!
One lucky man

Sweet, you listened to all of us lol. New (to you) and modded what more could you ask for.

I think it's time for a username change.

WoodysXR6 · 21-03-2008, 10:06 AM

Well done that is just insane congrats to you.

BFD83 · 21-03-2008, 10:44 AM

Well said Jamie, sounds as though you have made the right decision to sell her. This undoubtably is the pinnacle of T Series cars and is looked up to by many owners of such cars (me included but still .6 of a Litre short

: )
Stevo i hope that this car has brings you as much joy as it has Jaime and im sure it will not dissapoint Welcome to the T Series family, btw Jaime you are made an honourary member

: and we look forward to following the future of this awesome car

blueoval · 21-03-2008, 01:40 PM

Stevo, just finishing typing you up an instruction manual on her lurks and perks, unqiue featues, specs and part numbers, photos etc etc. and bought a new clay bar and will give her a full detail this arvo and maybe tomorrow night. Can hopefully arrange transport for maybe Wednesday/Thursday- either way, hoping you can have her for next weekend.

Hope that's ok with you mate, I know you'd like it sooner, but I don't want you getting it and it not looking or feeling brand new to you! You are going to love it! I hope you are geting some cool nights up there at the moment mate.... ;)

blueoval · 24-03-2008, 05:18 PM

Its worth the wait Stevo. Let Jamie work his magic on getting the car right and looking pristine.

I just hope the transport companies do the right thing and deliver this work of art unmarked.

ayeyew · 24-03-2008, 06:52 PM

Wow

Congrats on the new car

Definately my fav car on the forums. What an insane Easter for you!

Just as well the missus was fine with it aye? See.. The T3 CAN pull chicks

StAndArdAU · 25-03-2008, 02:43 AM

yes this is certainly the best easter i have ever had! Detail or no detail, when i park it next to the forte its gonna look brand new!! haha!! now i gotta clean the old girl i spose and throw her on the corner for sale. does anyone have a spare rear tail light globe holder (brake) they need to get rid of? my wreckers dont have any AU's and i no longer have a Ford dealer in town. current one has crakced and wont hold the globe anymore.
