Default We bought a new car!!!
Eamon (Cobra) and myself decided to buy a new car off a mate last week. A mate rang me and said one of his mates had this red Mustang that he was going to try and sell for a decent price... so we got to thinking.... and went and had a look.... and yes, we decided to trade Eamon's AU XR8 in on the red Mustang below!!!!!

Took it for a spin in the Grampians over the weekend and it was awesome!!!!

Here's a pic! Couldnt put more pics in coz Ive exceeded my quota or something....
