Yes it was quite a good turnout. 10 FTO's this time I think I counted. I wish you came to lunch with us Chris coz we found a better spot than a caravan park this time.

I have got the video nearly done but I need somewhere to host it?

about 50 meg for the 10 minutes of video.

burning CD's will be a pain!

PS those birds are "Kookaburras"
and I have the scar where it caught me with its beak.

Ftoluv=Mil, his got a stocky looking silver FTO.

It would be intereted to see if Rob manage to capture Mil & I in the video when we were doing the run :lol:

BTW Mil did you airborned during that mini run?

Chris try the new Maxxis, they are cheap but they ranked third in Wheels/Motor (can't remember which one) 17" tyre tests, & the score is less the 1% behind the top two. I've posted a chart somewhere before. I've got them at the front now, & after yesterday cruise, i have to say "I'm Impress" :D

Actually Kev I forgot to ask you about my front bar. I also got a 97 GPX and I don't have the two lights in the facelift version. I got an early 97 if that helps. Any ideas why?

My guess is the previous owner might had an accident, & found a cheap series 1 as a replacement.

I know series 2 start from late 96.

I think you're spot on there. When I was changing body kits there were signs of an accident from the side skirt mounts. They must have done really well at the front part.

That's a shame! It would be more shattered though if it was a real EVO! Was it car to car or car to obstacle?
