frodo Member 5 Member For: 21y 1m 12d Posted 07/01/04 03:42 AM Share Posted 07/01/04 03:42 AM Hi all,Another new XR6T owner, unable to stop grinning like an idiot while on the road. (And also still wondering how I got this approved by the leader of the opposition).Have been reading the forum for a couple of months, which have actually seemed like a couple of years, since placing my order last year. It's a brilliant site. Thanks for all the good info.If you see a new Acid Rush turbo on the streets of Canberra, give us a wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't go back to the others.I'm originally from Bris Vegas and the local paper up there, The Courier-Mail, was running a web cam on some Peregrine Falcon that had nested on a city building and was attacking hapless pedestrians. They dubbed the bird Frodo and the website frodocam. Among the information on the site was that peregrine falcons can fly as fast as a formula one car.So ... a low-flying, high-speed falcon named Frodo. It was a natural. It became the nickname I gave my car while waiting for it to arrive (which it did this week), and has kind of stuck.Sorry to disappoint Tolkein fans.

I didn't try to set any example. I just don't think that's the best way to kick off a new guys posts.Not everybody has spare cash to donate. As I stated in another topic: "...I think Chris has done an outstanding job with this forum and I love it, the people and the info that is available at a keystroke is great! And once Christmas is behind me I'll make a donation in January, club or not. Chris".Frodo, I would like to apologise for my OUTBURST you see here, it's a great site, with great members. I hope this doesn't put you off. Sorry! Edited 07/01/04 12:27 PM by Dagabond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KEN 24T Gandalf the Grey, Maiar of Manwë and Varda, Team HgAg/Sneaky Member 7,371 Member For: 21y 7m 20d Gender: Male Location: The Shire, Middle Earth Posted 07/01/04 05:04 AM Share Posted 07/01/04 05:04 AM Frodo,You have a fearsome and terrible task ahead of you. You may take companions (passengers) on your quest ... some might say ... a fellowship ...You are entrusted with the dire task of driving your beloved T (whatever colour ) with skill, grace and elegance. You must uphold the name and legend that is the BA XR6 Turbo.You and your fellowship must make your way through all (non-Ford) opposition to Mount Doom where you must destroy forever the (leaking oil) ring of the dark lord GM. Having completed this, you will be forever enshrined in the annuls of XR6T history. You will become a member of the first order of the Cult of the Turbo XR. ... btw, whatyawearn' ...
