Boy oh boy am I missing the turbs! I have only driven a renault wagon around a couple of times ... absolutely gutless. Car was for sale but now I'm thinking of keeping it. Can afford to now I'm in the pounds. I'm not just talking about the heathrote injection either. It is quite a site looking at all the "bad arses" driving around in their absolute sh*tboxes with the stereo pumping. Its even worse than the p platers back home, at least they will have a minimum 6 cylinders and can turn a tyre. We are lucky to have such a great (and cheap) local performance based car industry as well as roads to use them!So get out there and use them like they should be before I get teary eyed again. God I miss our country and its beautiful cars Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/12013-london-in-the-summer/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

chief Member 166 Member For: 21y 9m 10d Location: Melbourne Posted 28/07/04 02:26 PM Author Share Posted 28/07/04 02:26 PM This stage looking at a minimum of one year (maximum of 2). Got the old fella looking after the wheels, my mates were keen, but I want it to be in one piece when I get back. Will be coming back 4 a holiday in the summer, for some heat and some long long drives that's for sure. Petrol? Its at about £80.6 a litre! You do the math on converting that back. Was thinking of selling and picking up a series 2 or a typhoon. Actually when is the series 2 due out? hmmm ...Anyway thought I would say a quick hello.Chief Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/12013-london-in-the-summer/#findComment-148044 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am currently in West Yorkshire (off M62) about 20 mins out of Halifax. Tell you what if this is their summer they can have it!!!Tell you what though I love the amount of motorsport coverage they get over here it shows us Aussie's have our heads in the sand!Whilst predominately everything is 4cyl, if you have the ££ you can buy decent cars. You can get a Vaxhall Monaro (Yes the aussie one) for £35k ($105k!). Petrol around here is about 80 pence a Litre ($2.40)!!!!Whilst I miss my T I have had the luxury of borrowing a 2002 Carerra 4, mmm nice and bloody quick!Anyway chief I would organise to catch up with you, however I am heading back to Aus on tuesday. Have Fun!!!!!!! And do not drink too much larger! Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/12013-london-in-the-summer/#findComment-151380 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's long been my dream to do this and drool over all the fantastic machinery in the old dart. Dont think I'll ever get there though. I'll settle for a report from a forum member.
