Wow shiny black.

I guess with Melbourne's 4 seasons in one day you will be spending lots of time on the weekend keeping shiny and black or else become a VIP customer at the local carwash.

New tyres on the Focus this week, turns out previous owner had worn the tire in a spot which caused a scrubbing sound when the tire got up to temperature. At least it's not anything mechanical...*touch wood*
I go by the same username on FocusFanatics, and already done the "snorkel" delete this morning so still have the mod bug, haha.
Golf is feeling a bit neglected and miss it a little since it's unique.

Car is now sold. Guy said once he's finished working on it he'll come show me. So...watch this space kind of?

[feenix74]

British accent and from around the Lalor area, so pretty close considering people were thinking about coming from interstate to check my car out.

Small update.
17th October the guy got the transfer done. Which means he did everything to get it roadworthy which is good to hear.

Dropped in a K&N filter in the Focus, did the snorkel delete (like removing an intake bottleneck). Put in a radio running Android and have ECU readings being displayed, which is cool. Debadged the rear, apart from the Ford logo. Green LED parkers for the front.

Nearly less than half a year left on P's, so that's something to look forward to, lol.

So I haven't been on this site in literally years, so it's been interesting to read your entire thread from purchase to sale of your vr6.

Took this photo a few years back (2014) just spent 10 minutes going through photos to find it.

[stefcio007]

cool. I wonder where mine is now. 2014 seems like not long ago, but that's 3 years!
I'm nearly off my P's now too.

Mine is still going good, minus the odd thing here and there. I Keep admiring new cars but don't think I can part with my vr6 yet. I should do a post on mine soon.
