Not kidding, i am very sad, 12 years of enjoyment and love, i was looking at getting a wagon, didnt drive as well, but would be more practical. Then i drove the BF Xr6, and it reminded me of my AU, Hugging the road, keeping me planted in the seat.

Naah, time to trade to a different shape, probably will sell mine for around 1500bucks, rego to march, could be tinkered/fixed if a young bloke knows what they are doing, or can be used for Tickford parts
