Thumbs up Newbie From NZ Saying Hey!

Hey lads,


Nice forum. Thought I'd introduce myself "officially". :
Carls the name 25 in July and I live in Wellington, New Zealand.

Little background on my Ford history (nothing much).....I purchased a 2003, yes, 2003 AUIII XR8 about 2 years ago, loved it but traded for a BA. I didn't like the BA much at all (lack of low rpm grunt & response) so am back tracking but this time I'm looking for a TS50 2002 (T3). My Dad just sold his 2004 BA XR8 Shaker for a Chrysler SRT-8 300C which is lovely (6.1L Hemi 320kw).

I own a couple of Mopars and am wanting this TS50 for a modern V8 "daily driver". I own a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T & a 1973 Plymouth 'Cuda. If interested you can see more here www.nz440rt.com

Anyhow, look forward to asking a few questions on mods and hopefully soon, posting a thread on my new TS50! lol. They're few and far between I know that much but I'll find one, I know I will. Finding a 70 Challenger R/T #'s and a 'Cuda in New Zealand isn't an easy task either so I've been through the search process before.

Hope you don't mind the Mopars, I'm a fan of any V8 but I've never owned a Holden, like some of their cars but don't think I could come to grips with driving one. :togo: I also own and run the New Zealand Mopar Registry (NZMR) www.nzmoparregistry.com & www.nzmoparforum.com

Cheers,
Carl

Hey guys, thanks for the welcome! Cricket? :
Long series though but if we can't beat the poms I say just remove cricket from our international season. lol

Yup, I love my Mopars and my Fords, more so the Tickford cars and of course some of the older Mustangs. I look forward to asking you guys some questions and getting some help when I find my TS50.


Cheers,
Carl
