The Sportswagon arrived today and the AU was waved off. My daughter was sad seeing the old ford go, so she was sent tobed without supper.
Heres a couple of pics, i decided not to invite the motorbike down for a pic after my previous disaster :lol:

I forgot the new car smell, i thought my stinky car smell was normal :D
18months of wear and tear sneaks up on you.

The wagon is a nice car, the only thing so far is that the back door seems to need an excesssive slam to shut sufficiently that the open door light goes away.

Mate what a beautiful choice of car and colour....very jealous :drool: And get the open door light checked out as that's not good to slam doors.....the dealer should fix that up in no time under warranty :yep:


Enjoy :thumbs:

I havent got a VS :dunno:
She had an AU, which got traded in on this one. Still got $3,000 for the AU which is about what i could hope for privately.

Edit: oh thats the neighbors heap of rubbish in the photo, sitting there with no motor and half stripped, i wish they'd get rid of it

:lol: i knew someone would catch me out :lol:
I figure they only have to hang there for another 11 months and it'll save me putting them up again.

The only reason I picked them is because I employ the same 11 month theory as you!!

We were at the in-laws last week ... upon seeing that all the Christmas stuff had been packed up Alex (our 4 yo) asked his Grandma;

"Why do you take your Christmas tree / lights down so early ... it's only February"

:lmao:

... good to see I'm not the only one.
