So I'm looking through the local newspapers this morning, done with the first ( we get 3 ) push it off to the side to reveal the front page of the 'Star - Hume city newspaper', and there's a front page article 'V8 is great'. Anyway, there's a picture of a guy and his Blue XR8 Sprint, Which I believe is a forum member.
Scan of the article can be found here http://www.fordforums.com.au/photos/...cat=500&page=1 |

Thats fantastic Damo, was good chatting to you most of the day and now this. Pity the pic doesnt show just how well the Sprint scrubs up, it looked fantastic in the sunlight.

Don't quote me on this but if you ring the newspaper itself you may be able to get a copy of the pic. They may have a copyright thing, but it's worth a try. ;)

You can get the pic from the paper, i think you just have to pay. When i have been in the paper my mum buys the pic lol... Like theres this stupid one as me as a drum major at my old navy cader unit lol... i hate the picture! But my mum bought it anyway!
But nice efford sprint_ED... you own the car i want!!! There was a nice one at the SBR open day too.

I'd be proud of that ;) I'm jealous! So here's my bitchy remark (even though I'm roping myself in):
However I subconsciously feel concern when I see an E-series with its bonnet up...  : -Dave- |
