Yep, it's still funny to hear people talk about my old car. I sold it 6 months ago and people say remember the old days with your other xr8.........


The one thing i wish i never did was sell it, if i could find it and it was still in the same condition as i sold it i'd buy it back in a hartbeat. She was my first and the memories will remain with me forever...........

1993 - Toyota Corolla CSi Limited. Brand new, white, manual. Great car.
1995 - Ford Falcon XR6 EF. Bought from auctions. Manual. Le Mans Red.
1998 - Nissan Patrol ST 2.8 Turbo Diesel. First Company car. White, manual.
2002 - AU111 XR6 VCT. Manual, Venom, leather. Better than the EF.
2005 - Territory Ghia. Auto, Black. Better than the Patrol, but still struggles with boat.
