Austin said 8 Cylinders and 2 seats.

I reckon its an XH Xr8 Ute (or one of those Tradesman S V8's). Either that or a VR VS S pack V8 Ute.

They'd have to be auto too Austin cuz you can't drive a manny! hahahaha!

Mat! Come past the Templestowe hotel and drop into the Tempy Sports bar for a drink! I'm working tomorrow, and I'd be happy to see you and Meet austin Face to face.

It'd be a good opportunity to meet up!

We dropped in to Danny's work, thanks for the lunch chief!

I'm saving the write up for Aust to reveal what he got. It's worth the wait.

Mint is a way of describing it, Beast is another...

No - it's an auto.

Let's say it's some of the finest Aussie muscle to have ever rolled on the roads of this country.

I'm sorry about the delay guys, I got home from Melbourne late last night and havent had a chance to log on until now.

Ok, to reveal the new ride - it is a 2002 AU3 XR8 Ute. Has Herrod gear on it including full exhaust and HPC headers, Unichip, Cold Air Intake, Suspension and upgraded Brakes, full leather trim, MOMO everything, T Series dash cluster and one very very VERY happy owner.

I will post pics soon, but honestly this car - Im not looking back. The focus was great, but this just blows it out of the water.


Special thanks to Danny and Matt (zetec) for their help and hospitality over the weekend, cant thank you enough guys.
