Ford Roadside Assist got the RAA out and they arranged a tow for me. Had to wait quite a while, but I knew from experience that would be the case. This is the fourth time my car's been towed and every time has been in the wee hours of the morning. This is the second time it's been for the driveshaft!

Guest Quick-Silver Guests Posted 22/12/04 12:11 AM Share Posted 22/12/04 12:11 AM Hey all, just thought I would say hi and give a little intro. My name is Lee, im 24, and currently drive an EF Fairmont. My father owns an '04 XR6T, Auto, Lightning Silver, 18 factory alloys, Premium Brakes, Premium Sound, Tints, XR Mats, XR Scuff Plates, XR Headlight Covers. I have driven the car on numerous occasions as well as taking it to melbourne for a week. Must say I love driving the car, and when it comes out lease and Dad owns it, I will be buying it off him. Currently the car is stock, but I'm always pushing for him to upgrade so I get the car with upgrades Currently I'm very intersted in this Edit software that is being developed, especially the fact that factory maps can be restored, especially for long trips etc. Anyways, intend to keep an eye on these forums and any updates that occur for the cars. If there is meets here in SA and dad doesnt mind me havin the car for the night, I might make it out depending on work committments etc. so to sum up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
