Hi all,
I'm pleased to announce i have further strengthened my AU-ness and have purchased another for the somewhat limited stable area i have here. I pick her up tonight and will update then. The EL is getting long in the tooth and very grumpy, and is no longer suited to daily work in the traffic we have to put up with here. It is being retired and will go into storage shortly for that magical time down the road in everyone's mind when one things he'll have heaps of extra cash to restore old cars. So true to form, i have posted an annoying thread beforehand which will turn into (or at least link to) the build thread later on after pickup. You people seem to like hedging bets on what i've bought 'this time' so away you go: What did i buy? cheers fellow weirdos Chris. |

Given it's a 'weekender' as per your sig, I'm going to say an XR8 or T-series of some description. Hopefully an AU3 so it gets the 220kw or 5.6L...

Toyota Echo. Not sure how I feel about being referred to as 'you people' and 'weirdo' in the same sentence.

"you people" = AFF, as the E series guys always got on my case as soon as i bought another one of them also, as did the b-series guys "weirdo" is a compliment don't see the problem there You have to be weird to own an AU, that's just the way it is. And that's a good thing. Normal people are boring. I own two now so i'm over the top weird. |

Hey Chris, if it is not an AU, we may as well close the thread considering where you have posted it!
I believe that it is posted in this very area is a big hint to what it might be??? XR or T is the big question?

Doesn't mean we cannot have some fun on the way Chris.
 I do note that Chris likes his luxury vehicles with a couple of Fairy Ghias in the signature - has he moved up to a Lane, or even rarer an LTD? We do know that he likes his weekend cruises and what would suit better for a luxury weekender? Stu

Ok well given that Chris has liked Dave's cryptic post above, I'm now leaning towards a fairlane, ltd or even better would be a TL50...
