Sure that sounds good. The only other FTO I've seen around Blackburn is a red one, and that was in the Safeway carpark for the few times that I did, otherwise I haven't seen any others around. How many more of us are there?

I have since swapped my front bar with Danny and fitted a D-Cuatro front lip spoiler... currently looking at making a custom template to make side aluminium/cf winglets on it too.

yeh i'm on MSN but i don't finish work until 12am tonight (no MSN allowed @ work!)... anyways, my MSN address is:

michael_tan168.spam-this-biatch@hotmail.com

nb: just remove .spam-this-biatch (incl the dot at the start) from the address.

Nah, I was talking about the safeway on the corner of Canterbury Rd and Main St, next to the Maccas.
I live on the other side of Main street to you, coz it sounds like your on the otherside of Blackburn Road.
I would love to check out your ride when you got the time

ive got 2 alpine amps a 4 x 4 and 2way and a 10inch alpine sub. The speakers are not changed yet (there aftermarket though) and will suffice for the time being. Ive just got a pionner cd single cd. I didnt want a really expensive unit, cos the music comes throught the amps, just need the unit to change the settings on amps. ive also got a gps sitting at home, but going to sell, its not mine, and selling for a friend. also got immobiliser and alarm etc, as the car has already been broken into once! love your dash set up to, i cant justify 500 for them though! i just change the globes to blue, put ina momo gear knob, neons in foot wells and want to get pedals, boot sleeve for handbrake and aluminium tip, and a gfew other gadgets, i added u, eurobailey@hotmail.com

gazz, i'm waaaay off from blackburn rd dude... more like along Doncaster Rd lol... but it's still literally right next to each other anyway..

euro, how do u mount your subs? sealed? ported? free air? i have an upper strut brace fitted to the back of my car (inthe boot) so my sub upgrades are kinda tricky... who did your sub install? i'm thinking of a single 12 Type-S or TSW1200DVC on a mono amp or 4-ch amp, but there's just no room...!!

i'm knocking off pretty soon, so i'll be on MSN from 12:30am onwards if y'all wanna drop in for a chat...

Hey guys,

I hope in these comings months I'll join you as proud FTO owners! I'm currently looking at three cars on the market.

I'm also an Eastern Suburns boy; I live in Templestowe, and work at Sportsco in Shoppingtown. So next time you're there, come in and see if there's a Greek looking guy with a 'Jono' nametag (I'm actually South African, but hey...)!

Heh, I'd love to check out your car during lunch!

All the best fellas.
