lol nah not quite just save, if you really want something you can get it

X 2! If you earn a decent wage and are sensible with money (which I suppose buying a 65K car at 20 before a house isnt but what price can you put on enjoyment) anything is possible. Helps when you live at home too :D

Congrats man, Only Rspcec phoon in blue! looks awesome and I wish you all the best with the knockers ;)

Where abouts are you Bionic?

I've just put one on hold at Ethridge in Ringwood. If all goes well I'll have it next week.

We should cruise if you're in the east. (I'm in Croydon Hills)

Trust me, buy a house as soon as you can. It makes it a hell of a lot easier to get a phoon. I'm turning 24 today, I bought my house when I was 22, I struggled for 6 months to do anything, and now it's all paid off. I got engaged 3 days ago and I've got a 3 year old. I wouldn't have anything if I didn't have the house, so get a house as soon as you can!

Also, RACV quoted me $2235, rating one with rating protection. Not too bad I spose. It's almost exactly what I paid when I bought my XR6 when I was 21. Insurance is crazy.

I don't understand how you've waited so long. It's only been a day for me and I couldn't sleep last night. You poor bastard!

Hey your bionic looks the bomb! Cool ride, how's it going...? Did you get the certificate, and goodies from FPV, or direct from the dealer?

Just got one myself B4 Xmas, put 2000 clicks on it already, drives like a dream.

Do they mail you this certificate? I never got anything from the dealer, just the log books, locknut and IPod thingy. What else did they give you?

Still waiting for mine too (it's been 2 months) I have been told FPV are going to be sending these out in January... (now)

Mind you the local dealer did give me a bunch of extras, and a full tank of Gas. and a Jacket plus 4 caps for the family.

yeah I got the car yesterday, it is such a nice car to drive, everything about it is just perfect, gotta love the ZF!

my dealer told me FPV will mail the certificate to me lol

the extras I got were a FPV keyring and a FPV shirt and jacket and only half a tank. I didn't realise that inside the fuel cap it has a sticker that recommends BP Ulitimate for the car, that's all I was going to put in though.

all I can say is the car is a dream to drive.

Yeah they'll send it to you, with an FPV compendium with other FPV info + a choice of gifts - a travel bag, or folio case and wet pack (have a look at FPV website - benefits of ownership). Also theres an invitation for advanced driver day - this also comes in the compendium with info on which tracks they do it at, and a choice for when you can do it.

They say it takes 8 weeks for the compendium+ cert + paperwork on the rest, I bought my car in Dec, and am still waiting, but I called them, and they said expect it late Jan.

Cheers

hey guys,

I took my car up to Lorne yesterday and took some photos. The great ocean road is a really nice drive, the car just holds the road so well, no body roll wat so ever.

The weird thing about bionic is that it looks completely different in photos compared to seeing it in the flesh. I guess I'll just have to learn how to use photoshop.

I have only found 1 problem with the car so far, when I put my foot down to the floor, the floor mat gets caught and keeps the accelerator down which is really dangerous, for now I have unclipped the mat and pulled it backwards so it is out of the way, has anyone else found this issue with the drivers floor mat?

I have attached some photos of the car that I took, hope you like them.

and before anyone says anything, I know I still have my average fuel sticker on my window, pain in the ass to get off lol.

Haydn :spit:
