Is that the same A9X in your avatar pic?  I remember that car from the magazines about 20 years ago, both scoops have the same A9X sticker and GTS rims look about the same size so I'm guessing it is it?

 

Gee time hasn't been kind to the ol' girl!

Congratulations on your new car Daryl.

 

Hard to let go of that beautiful V8 GTR but I reckon you've done the right thing.

 

Look forward to seeing your A9X back on the road.

 

Regards Mick.

hey mick thanks mate yeah very hard for me to let the lj go my 3 daughters are still not happy with me lol... i was having a fair bit of trouble driving the lj as it was very hard on my back and having lots of back trouble i wasn't enjoying it as much anymore but i know how nice the lx rides in slr form not sure how the a9x drives but im gathering even better... i would never have thought i could afford an a9x but at the right price it was a no brainer i had to do it....
