    Thanks guys and lol I hope he doesn't see what a nightmare it was at times! Na I was totally honest with everything selling it. FYI for other people pricing similar I got 16. Probably could have got more if I wasn't so remote but I'm happy with it. Sorry Losh that you wont see it around town...

    It's gone. I'm a tad more depressed than I expected and barely slept last night :D Anyway chapter is closed and on to a new life. Thanks for all the advice and kind words over the years. I probably didn't get into the community as much as I should but hopefully someone got or gets something...

    Well there you go Losh. You were right, but I stand by what I said.

    I'm confused, I do remember you've said something about troubles you had back in the day I think.. 90s commodores are equal bags of crap like the Falcons are. There is little difference in anything. I've had several and there is no difference in tyre wear. They are all basic cars in general.

    Haha yeah I'm kinda slightly hoping it doesn't go as well as I know I'll regret it one day. Na stuff it, I'm going to cuss in here and say I want an EBXR8 or 5.0 Ghia :rolleyes: I know I'm sick guys but I've been fighting it for years and can't help myself...

    Yeah, It's Christmas it aint going anywhere. I'll deal with it next year when I'm home. I'm not really stressed at the moment as I shuffled some funds and got myself a little bit of kit to keep myself occupied for now :)

    You're probably right. I'll leave it on carsales till I leave but don't think I'll push anywhere else. If it sells it sells if it doesn't it doesn't.

    Got a pre roady on Tuesday and of course a few days before the clutch fluid disappeared and found it leaking in the cabin. Just ordered a new clutch master and some engine mounts. The fact it was just the engine mounts I'm pretty happy about. He was fairly impressed with it for a commodore :D...

    Yeah I know work doesn't insure them when their freighted which sucks. Never had an issue coming up but have heard of lots of people having problems. Hopefully it's gone by then.

    Yeah I totally agree. I've been watching the market crash so bad in the past 6 months. No offence to anyone because I own this also but most average bogans types like us who love these cars currently have stuff all money :D There's the odd wog who has cash to splash but most people with money...

    Cheers mate! Like every old car there will be issues in the future but I totally agree, I have spent heaps of time and money staying on top of most things. Haha hit up the bank ;) Yeah since I put the new shocks and spring insulators in the rear last week it actually drives like a treat. That...

    Thanks mate! Like I said it's not perfect but it's much better than 90% out there. I have an entire dropbox folder with a heap of pics and a vid over the last couple of years if they are interested.

    Thanks mate! Awesome to hear such positive feedback! It's hard to think that simply putting up some waffle about your cars problems over the years can help someone in a positive way. Cheers! Yeah I hope so. The paint really isn't that great. It has some cracks and chips in the bonnet and a...

    :D thanks and yeah we're mad as they come! I'd rather wear a jacket all year than stick my head out the front door and sweat out 2 litres in 5 seconds for 5 months of the year. We just need a change of scenery and FNQ is so remote and boring when you've been here a while. I need mountains and...
