Pity it’s an auto otherwise I might have been tempted… I think the hold up with my SP is to do with the hard tonneau or so I am led to believe. If it’s not here next week I will chuck the hugest tanty ever and may change my mind over buying it.

Hows your spoiler, did you get it replaced or fixed?

My Mate Rob at Miami Tyrepower did the fabrication. with the kit i got a EA pedal box. this doesnt fit a EL so out somes the grinder/oxy and we welded on extra support to prevent breakage. and pretty silver paint to stop rust.

My next thing is to make the car stop quicker.
instead of forking out heap of dosh im going to a wrecker and finding a AUII K frame and suspension. this will enable me to use the twin piston set up i have at home. Im just not sure if this will give me a different offset for my mags.

but it will stop quicker.

hey matt can you still get 3/4 glass trim for the inside and outside of the door?

cheers

*thinks if im useing AUII offset i could squeeze GT wheels on* : :dr_Evil: :yeees: _

now who has GT wheels..............it wasnt me

Having both GT Rims and Nice (I prefer Fabulous) hair is pretty unique and quite frankly it is a lot to ask... There is a lot of pressure on being this god damn wonderful ya know! :king: _

And by the way - stop stealing my line – you cheeky boy!:

Yeah Peter Stweart Ford.

They dont rule the roost when it comes to customer service. Although I did recieve a Letter and a call from Southern Cross Automotive asking for feedback. So i just explained the situation and They were fantastic about it I thought they needed to know i wasnt over the moon about the ordeal but they are going to pass on my feedback. Next time I think i might borrow a car traylor and my old mans 4wd.

that way i wont have to take a day off work (and interupt Tori's hari appointment) just to drive to warrick to pick up one tuff E series!!!

Trust me he has the Ultra cover now because I upgraded him and paid for it! : It wouldn't have worked this time though as we were way too far out but hopefully if this ever happens again (fingers crossed - it does NOT) I won't have to sit on the side of the road for an hour with him and a gazillion flys. :(

RACQs warwick branch is Peter Stewart Ford which is owned by Southern Cross Ford...

I just had a client buy a new Territory from Southern Cross in Roma and he was very happy, they were also easy to deal with from a finance broker point of view when it came to doing up the invoice etc.

Peter Stewart Ford arent the best but they are only a small dealership, so i guess you cant expect a whole lot from them. :

well i cant believe you didnt pick up on how i wrote hair!!! *hari* I think me needs to go back to skool.

Im not bagging out the dealership, im sure they do a good job. I felt the service centre didnt help me out as much as they could of at first. at the end of the day i got my car back and it was fixed so i cant ramble on too much, Im just about to set the timing again as i had it advanced and they set it to factory spec.

Drews final thought *its a road car not a supercar, I cant expect it to do things it wasnt designed to do* (until i reveal my freshend up donk : )

Tori's hari appointment

Here I was thinking that she was putting symbols on her fingers and singing special songs in the city at night.

I still wonder if the fact that the car had the No 1 stickers on both the bonnet and doors had anything to do with the lousy attitude shown at Peter Stewart Ford.

I am used to FPV customer service and forgive me for sounding snobby but this particular service centre sucked big time when it came to friendliness and manners. I don’t care that they are just a small dealership their attitude was appalling. Anyway its not like we ever have to deal with them again… fingers crossed.

Rob my mechanic just backed off the timing from advanced 20 deg to 10 deg. now please correct me if im wrong but isnt 20 deg advance a bit dangerous?
i didnt hear any little men banging a hammer inside my engine so i didnt think twice.

Matt P you might be able to inform me of whats good and whats bad!
