Notice how they said a "Ford XR6 turbo", and not just a "vehicle" or "Ford sedan".... Love to put a bad name to a car

I did notice that aswell, it does stand out a lot when you hear it said like that. And also the title was performance car driver which I found a bit strange aswell.

That's the first time I've seen the xr6t named and shamed if you want to call it like that.

Massive wreck, rehabilitation will be massive too I imagine if no one died. Haven't read the article.

Yes that's Brad's car (Frostyboy) for sale. I'd love to buy it (Blue BF2 Phoon yesss)... but wouldn't have a house if I did. He has a silver R33 GTR and I'm not sure if he's sinking the cash into that or not.

Did it actually lift the head? I was there as supervising technician back at camp (got pics of Doug just after he got a bit of fence wire in the eye thanks to Frosty hahaha) when they re torqued the head studs as a precaution since he suspected it may have lifted a tiny bit (small evidence of coolant but wasn't 100%). He ran it again after that and I don't recall him saying it lifted. Not saying it didn't though as I was busy racing my own car at the same time. 230km/h weeeeeeee

Also the XFT writing is just a sticker that can be peeled off IIRC. Think it's already got a letter lifting off to get you started :)

It's always hard seeing an old car of yours go up for sale... Oh the memories. Must.... Not.... BUY!

Maybe have one on the last weekend of this month and then another cruise on the first weekend of February?

Wow in tassie now

Yeah the guy I sold it to worked on a boat doing like fishing or lobster catching or something. Worked big long stints (like as longer or longer than mine stints I think) and he mentioned he would soon enough be moving over to Tasmania. So I knew it was ending up over there.

Tempted to throw them a cheeky over and see what I can get haha. But I shouldn't.

Great roads for driving, message him and tell him not to sell it hahaha. Convince him to install Shockworks coilovers instead muahaha (assuming it had Billies or Koni before)

I got a leaky exhaust I gotta sort out. Otherwise I'm keen. Depending on dates and double demerits.
