Vevapower Waiting for the 1st N/A 12! Donating Members 2,533 Member For: 17y 1d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 09/12/10 05:34 AM Share Posted 09/12/10 05:34 AM Hi all, I just bought a new (well 1 year old) FG XR6T which I'm real happy about but the thing is I bought it from Alice Springs… yeah I know and I'm a Sydney sider. So I though yeah no worries just put it on a truck or rail right and it's be here in like 8 – 10 days! Well NO apparently there massive peak transport wise ex NT and added to that there's been derailments etc.. meaning that I wouldn't see the car till if I'm very lucky till after Christmas. Any way long story short I'm now considering flying up and driving back with a mate over 3 days! So what I'm really asking is does any one in Sydney have a FG Car Bra that I could borrow for the 3 or 4 days? Can't justify shelling out $800 for one that I would only probably ever use once or maybe twice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
