he says its a "weekender" so unless he straps a blower to it, or fits a fuel hungry cam that lumps every 10 seconds i see it being something else

my guess is turbo AU 6

Default Re: When the expense of two cars just isn't enough
could only get terrible pics, but here's one

this will be an anti-climax to many of you but i came to the conclusion that, since i had an AU2 Ghia V8, the best way to break up the monotony was to get an AU3 Ghia V8.

Story to come.

Hmm, ok I'll let you get away with that for now.

Big fan of the Ghia. I'll one day get around to putting a Ghia interior into my XR.

One day.
