SteveF Posted 29April, 2015 Report Share Posted 29April, 2015 I am sure you will enjoy it as much as I have and are glad it is staying within the PFA family. Please don't drive it home like that picture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep driving. By-pass your home and get to Tumut. Drive to Mytleford Via Corryong. And then turn around and drive back to Canberra the same. Will probably add about 8 hrs to your journey, but you will be having too much fun to notice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Man Posted 29April, 2015 Report Share Posted 29April, 2015 Congrats Michel, but the "piss poor paint" comment is a bit unfair don't you think? It's actually worse than that! Brought a great deal of pleasure to Steve. That car was a long time coming for him Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgy Posted 29April, 2015 Report Share Posted 29April, 2015 Why did you sell Steve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveF Posted 29April, 2015 Report Share Posted 29April, 2015 Edgy, it was a really tough call to be honest because it is such a cool car and I love it. I need a car that I can use on a daily basis and as much as I would like the sporto to be it, that is not realistic. It will be our second family car so something more modern is needed with air con and the like. I am really happy that Michael has bought it because I am sure as the the next custodian he will improve on the work that Peter & I have done. Now the fun begins looking for another!

f3nr15 Posted 29April, 2015 Report Share Posted 29April, 2015 Congrats Michel, I'm delighted the old gal is staying with a PFA'er. So many memories tied up in that hunk of steel, but I have to say, every gear-change brought a new smile to my face. Old mate that I bought her off in country Victoria reckoned he still had wads of history/receipts that he was going to dig up for me one day, I'll try to chase him up on that again, it's been a few years though. Happy driving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy driving! Howdy , more ownership knowledge cool. OK tell me then who painted the wee beastie ( said in a mock English/Scottish rocker voice) It's be great if you could dig up the old receipts your mate has and other paraphernalia or pics of it back in the day So me - Steve - Peter - anyone else on PFA been an owner?
