      I had to do the same thing years ago and we all understand, family cant be replace but a car can. Good luck finding it a good home down under.

      No spitters were I work, you swallow it all. The Company feels if you already have it in your mouth why waste it.

A person who has had the enjoyment watching someone with more talent build a beautiful car that thousands of people would love to see much less drive. You have been the most dedicated build of any car that I have seen. Anyone can build a mustang or Camaro (or in your case a Holden or Ford) but it takes more to build a "Throwaway" car to that extent. To be that dedicated to a car and to let it go for your family earns my respect that much more.

        I hope you hang around the site though.
        Cant add much to that, X 2 !!

          I appreciate the (always) knid comments guys, and i truly love you all for being so nice ALL THE TIME.
          I am hoping to meet a buyer tommorow (with any luck).

          Regarding some of the comments though-

          Claire and I actually wanted (originally) to let the registration lapse and store the car. Biggest problem here is that i would have to jump through the very same hoops to get it re-registered- and then some. Reason being that the car passed on the VERY base tune on 4psi. to get the car there and back again could well cost in the vicinity of 4-5,000 dollars. (new restrictive cat and mufflers, new tune X2, draining the fuel in prep for E85 etc etc etc).
          I will not as easily be swayed from visiting the site. DJ was very kind to me when i joined, as were the then (and current) members. I like it here- When time permits of course. Besides- you guys are my FRIENDS. I'm hardly going to disown anybody because the car is not with me! Your'e all stuck with me now.
          I think the potential new owner of this car will pick up a whopping deal. It has seen rain maybe twice in 7 years. It has NO rust whatsoever. It has instant 'fun' value (for christ sake it spins the tyres through third gear now). Is has some small upgrades needed (brakes/ trans and reinstall of AC pump) which could potentially see a cover of a car magazine.

          I don't know what else to say? I had also considered the ebay option but too many d-heads i think? I'll sort my stuff out and set to work spreading the word- hoping to find it a good home. As of this moment FF.com is the ONLY place who has this knowledge so far.

                If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?
