Cheaper to keep it running than it is to buy a new one anyway, I figured! Even if mainstream 98 petrol dries up I doubt it'll be going anywhere. Just gotta keep the stone chip damage to a minimum... 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/70315-my-baby-turned-300-at-last-pic-heavy/page/3/#findComment-1037019 Share on other sites More sharing options...

To often modifying cars becomes a pissing competition and this thread is a sad reminder of what it should be aboutNeed some more of this!

Mum flew in last night and we're off to see family today. Mum enjoys cars too (owned Mustangs in the US when she was young) so I have also been looking forward to sharing the car with her. She likes that I have a fast car (like she did) but she hates that it's so fast because I'm the one in it I do believe a cruise or two was in the works anyway, it's about time too we're pretty slack over here lately 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/70315-my-baby-turned-300-at-last-pic-heavy/page/3/#findComment-1037137 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anchor Member 270 Member For: 15y 1m 26d Gender: Male Location: Rockhampton Posted 03/09/10 05:50 AM Share Posted 03/09/10 05:50 AM Good writeup man. Really hits home when you think it could happen to any of us. Dunno what I'd do without my dad. He's built every car I've owned with me in the shed. Always there to offer advice etc.Good luck with the future mods and enjoy the power!!
