It may be a little out of your way but see how you go.

Where is Butterfly farm?

They are located on Wilberforce Road, Wilberforce, NSW, Australia..

Simply drive to Windsor over the Hawksberry bridge and follow the road around to the
right...

approximately 3 kilometers down the road you will see the Indy 800 Track..

if you pass over the wilberforce bridge and enter wilberforce you have gone too far....

cheers will see if I can make it, Might need an fto 1st

Donation anyone?

You can drive to the Central Coast and ride shot gun in my FTO for the rest of the trip down

That's a great offer might take you up on that one, if I can sort out the rest of my Brady Bunch life
I grew up on the central coast!!!

I have 2 rules though.....
1. No smoking in the FTO (But plenty of smoke stops )
2. No Ninja Costumes

One thing, you don't need to quote each post just reply to them.

o.k

Hey Guys,

When I get my my ride might have to try and organise a bit of a weekend cruise up my way!
Drove down Bago Road into Wauchope today some very twisty fun thought you might enjoy.
Beaut beaches,shopping for the ladies would love to see the reaction of the locals seeing a convoy of fto's gliding down the main street!
Just an Idea.

Perhaps when we have a car show on...

There is generally an unofficial get together once a year in Coffs, maybe you could attend that?

That might be an idea,I'm pretty well mid way between Sydney and Coffs.
Spare fto anyone?

O.k my other car now sold and have about $5000 to spend!
Are there any members willing to have a look at some fto's around Sydney with me?
Would still like a black GPX!
Have found a manual in Bankstown $3999 approx 240000kms Gumtree
And an auto in Burwood $6500 approx 122000kms thinking this one if negotiable! Gumtree
Are these cars known by any club members?
Cheers guys any info or help would be great...

Go for the lower km one if it's genuine

Can you post up some links to the cars so we can see them?
As we can't tell you if they are known to the club with the info you have given us at this point.

http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/burwood/ ... 1003983419

Not sure if this is the correct way to post a link?
Cheers for the reply aza013

The gumtree one looks the best as the other one looks like it has had a very hard life.

I have to agree.
Thanks again.

If you are interested in checking it out I may be able to meet you out there pending on timing that is? as I have some things I need to do today.
Just let me know.

Agree with Aza, the gumtree one looks better but......
I have a few concerns with it.....
1. Most of the pics have been taken with sun glare so you can't quite see the true condition, a ploy used by some car sellers.
2. It has been poorly painted, you can tell because the Mitsubishi logo has been painted black.
3. It has too low Km's for a 95 model, either changed the ecu/dial cluster.
4. My hunch is that this FTO could be a repairable write-off.
A closer inspection and investigation could answer my concerns

The trading post one definiatly looks to be a more honest car for it's age, but it is a bit run down. But for its price, especially if you can negotiate it to $3000, could be a nice FTO to do up.

I suggest if you are going to come to Sydney to look, get a few more on your list.

Well I'm on the central coast now thanks for the replies,
The burwood car seller is only willing to drop a couple of hundred bucks and Bankstown is a fair way to travel if i can't get it for $3000ish needs a new interior!Massive kms though!
cheers guys was thinking might have a look possibly tuesday wednesday will keep you posted thanks
for the offer to come have a look aza013,and the advise phil069!

Im happy to come have a look with you if you like mate. I'll show you what NOT to look for in an FTO

Cheers heaps guys,
I'm checking out a black manual gpx 97mod tommorow will let you know what happens!

Bad roof rust,bumpers didn't line up,crushed radiator,dents,tacho didn't work! date of compliance did't match the pink slip (Pass)...
Might have to have a look at a couple in sydney area.
