hey guys and gals,
one thing i have to say since joining the XR community is for the most part getting a wave or two from fellow XR drivers. ive only had the ute going on a week now and its been pretty good to say the least. This morning on my way to work i got over taken by a copper in a XR6, he actually slowed down beside me, gave me a wave and speed off! werid but great. Nice to know there are actually people take pride in not only their ride but have the decencies to say g'day. |

I don't think that's ever happened to me in either of my AUs.
Then of course, neither are XRs, that might explain it! LOL! It's great that you're enjoying the car. Good one! GK

Hmm thats odd. To me it seems that if you aren't driving a B-Series, then you don't get noticed at all. Which isn't a bad thing I guess...
