hehe thanks, did you mean the yellow one or the red one? ;)

btw, i think i might have seen your FTO driving along Grimshaws Rd (near the shopping ctr) the other day (Tuesday/Wednesday) around late arvo... just wondering if that was you since you're from Greensborough...

Welcome!!!

any pics of your ride? let us know a bit more about you and the car...

Burnside is close to Caroline Springs right, along Western Hwy? I'll be moving there next year (house is being built) so I'll be driving along there every now and then too, so if you see me on the road give us a horn / flash! ;)

Hi Yes,
I am near Burnside , caroline springs , western Hwy!
Yes I drive into the city every day work in central Melbourne!
I am usually concentrating on the raod or in lala land in the morning but if I spot any of you guys will try and give you a sign flash high beams or something ! :wink:

Seems there is a few FTO's in the area !!!!

Pics of my car coming soon haven't taken any for a while but yes it's pretty hard to miss have personal plates with SXCFTO and white/bluey silver graphics rolling up the front bonnet.

thanks
Toni

Sorry not me, but I have seen a few other burgandy FTO's around the westside with male drivers, don't think they are part of the forum though. Should tell him to join!! 8)

lol sorry about that nimz didnt jerry you were a female. funniest thing is the morning after i posted i spotted two burgandy fto's LOL. it was only a glimpse so i didnt get any details but i was laughing to my self like a fool. other drivers must have thought i was a nutter :lol:

yeah me and the misses are real keen to go for a cruise, my car is not running great at the moment (meaning no mivec, otherwise its fine) so im deffinatly interested.

this might sound like stupid question but what do you get up to on a cruise aside from the obviouse lol. we all get together and drive around like a bikey gang... and... chat joke get to know each other and so on im assuming... let me know if im wrong.

I think I can finally join the club right? After, what 6months of FTO shopping!!!

I finanly got one, Melbourne 1, Sydney 0 :) Lol, I had to get my FTO from Sydney, because, I just couldn't live with an Automatic car, and every manual fto I looked at/had inspected in Melbourne, was involved in some serious accident, at one time or another.. I also found out, that most modded up FTO's, we're in the worst state...

My fto, however, is as stock as they get... nothing changed in her, but she is really good condition, best report I had come back from any inspection....

Black with 64k on the clock, and this wierd front bumper, but I like it, kinda a cross between a veilside and hiro....

I'm going to do her up over time... I already have my deck waiting to go in... but i'm trying to source an amp and a sub, and do it all together... I also want to spray the center console silver, and add that FTO Brushed Metal Gauge Surround, with needle cups, and probably the white/blue dial kit...

Well to be true, I have lots of plans for my car... nothing huge, no turbo or anything... but I will do her up slowly...

Oh I should also mention, I'm from north west melbourne, Attwood (near broadmeadows) one of the few in this skyline/supra/180 infested hole.
