Default The New Toy

Hi All,

Well today i picked up a 2005 BA XR6 MkII Ute for work(and play) as i wanted something else instead of the AU E-gas which was getting high in kms and i was getting sick of driving it around(gutless).

Its has 19,000kms on it, tow ball, Lighting Strike paint, Auto, Blue seats and door trims, Leather Steering Wheel, Momo Pedals, 2.5" Cat-back with 2.5" twin dump pipes and goes pretty hard too.

Mods to come are:
Carryboy Canopy with ladder Racks
Colour Screen ICC
DVD player and upgraded Speakers
Flash tune
and intake mods
something else??

ATM the EL is having a rest and may be up for sale towards the end of the year.

Thanks Nick
