Yeah that's the one.

I'll post photos tonight. Its really smooth to drive but does seem to be a little bit less keen to accelerate than my EB..

Other than a bunch of bad scratches and both bars having really cracked paint it seems to be in very good condition, and there is no oil on the underside of the engine and gearbox :P

Nah just petrol, which is good IMO.

Just extractors I think, although the exhaust does look a little bit like a 2 or 2.5 inch one. Looks pretty new too, I was reading in the log of work done to it that it had a new exhaust within the last year or two.

It's had thousands of dollars worth of stuff done to it, including maintenance type stuff. Always been regularly serviced.

I'll post pics after tea.

The engine and exterior needs a wash. Also the bonnet was popped in the pic which is why it sits up a bit.

They look okay, but yeah they're only 16 inch.

Yeah I'm happy with it 8-) but the EB was fun to drive when I knew I was getting the AU. I didn't have to care about it as much :lol:

After work today I decided to swap the amber quarter panel indicators for the clear ones I bought that were going onto my DC. I also removed the roof racks.

I'm going to leave the tracks on the roof, just remove the rack bits. Also they look fairly decent ones, made by Rhino and they have a ratchet tie down on them too.

The diff is a nice black :lol:

It still needs a big wash too :roll:
