Hey Guys,

For those that heard, Our AU was stolen a few weeks ago.
The cheaky bugger/s broke into our house, stole car keys & some stuff.
Luckily our dog was on the case, scared the person/s off, so not too much was taken.
The car still not yet recoved, not looking hopeful anymore.

So all the insurance stuff is sorted now, so we are looking at a new Ford.

With the extra I'll be adding to the insurance dollars, Probably looking at a BA/F.
The Mrs wants a Terri, but they are either low price/high kms or low kms/high price.
Then there is the Foci, pretty reasonably priced, but im not sure if i can go back to a small car, LOL.

So yes, car shopping this week...

Well after a lot hunting around and some disappointment here and there.
We finally found a diamond in the rough.

Monday picking up a BF XR6... Lightening Strike Silver i think.

So I'll be better equipped to rejoin up in the new year as i planned to.

Got it from a Ford Dealer, rego was nearly out, so they threw in extra rego and 2 years free servicing.
Yes, heaps low kms, belonged to an old couple who apparently lived in town, so it rarely drove far.
