Bazz
A bike shop or Ford caryard... 
Lowering the back with 40mm leaf springs. The lowering blocks left a bit to be desired.

Inspired by the common-sense and practicality of a ute (thanks Bernie) I have bought me a green one. Drove the Boss 290 home last night. Might even bring it to Wakefield. Yeeehaa!!!
Scouting around for a desolate back-drop for some photos like Bernies!

Rich
Well done..a red, a yellow and a green. Blue anyone??.
Ooops sorry BJ..
 BJ's blue ute...
Just took delivery of the lower mesh grill similiar to BJ's and will install it later today.
The ute is lowered 40mm at the rear - 1 1/2" - on Thursday, so will sit level. Good - as I do not carry anything. My trailer is balanced and does not weigh over the tow hitch.

BF XR8 Sedan
Picked up a BF XR8 Sedan last week.
Very nice car to drive. Have only had two occasions with traction issues so far, seems the traction control got turned off during start up. 
Had to get a blue one. So now I'm a 2 V8 household. Got an Aluminium one in the garage, and Quad cam one in the driveway.
Who said too many V8's is not enough  |

I picked up my new oil burner the other day. Ordered it back at the start of April and finally took delivery of it last Thursday. It's turning out to be a neat little car. The 2 litre turbo diesel only makes 103 KW (which is pretty healthy for a turbo diesel) but it makes huge ammounts of torque 320NM which makes for some very satisfying acceleration.
It's deceptively quick and nice to drive, so far the wife and I are very happy with the new car.
I haven't snapped any pics of it but it looks like this:
Cheers

Well we all know that torque rules. 
Aussie Mike, will have to let us know how the economy goes, with real world driving, like any of us here would do. |

16 cylinders in the garage. Can't go wrong with that, Churchy! My cobra will be happy to share digs with the new ute: sure won't miss that fandangled rotary!

It needs flames Bernie... very nice! I wonder how hard it would be to get one of those over here? I could send you a GT500 in trade perhaps....
Enjoy

Now Mike, no setting up bio-deisel plants for your new oil burner untill the Cobra's finished. You've got enough distractions already

A week old today.
Typical isn't, you buy a nice shiny new car and it rains every other day. It'll get a wash on Saturday.
Cheers

G'day bernie,
Do you live in Australia or the northern block some where ? Every picture I've seen of your vehicles has been around mud and wet...stuff.
Maybe you've got a big hose ?

Here is the Mustang finally finished... You recall? The one that "wasn't something crazy like $3000- or anything" per Nancy...
