Hi FTO heads,

Hopefully I'll be getting my GPX Manual early next week..
Doing the test drive and the viewing on wednesday, and unless there's something horrible wrong with the lady I'll definately be giving her a new home.

Can't wait!

Oh BTW ..somebody told me FTO is short for F...the others. Found it mildly amusing.

Hi JJ,

Thanks. Been checking out all the piccies from the meet.

I think I may need to allocate a pile of money to do up the FTO...It's completely stock ;-)

Can't wait!!

Welcome! Looking forward to seeing pics of your new baby!

I will of course CJ.

I now know a wee bit more about the FTOs than I did before find these pages..

I really haven't gotten much work done though, he.

Been cruising eBay for bits and bobs as well, seems like there's some pukka stuff there.

If this birds rotten I might try and find one in the UK - not many manuals going in Eire.

Not really looking forward to spending large money on bodymods - but looking forward to looking at them afterwards ;-)

They'll be posted as soon as humanly possibly.
She's 100% stock atm.
Stupid bank just increased my credit limit so that'll change real quick ;-)

She's the stock silver (gunmetal grey really)..so I'm thinking Black Alloys negative offset, chrome rims (or possibly just polished steel, as long as it's shiny)..17"s 8wide 35profile.
If possible I might lower slightly.
Then I plan to get some nice side-skirts - haven't seen any I like this far ( That aren't already in use!!)..
I'd loooove to get a twin exit exhaust..but that's all waaaay down the line..

Alloys and side-skirts are the first objectives ;-)

I have to get my insurance down somehow..Will be paying 1960euro with Hibernian - still have to call a few places I've found here though.

I might bring my cam to the test drive 2moro to get some piccies even if she's rotten. I strongly doubt she is though. Guy seems cool, and she's only been here for 3months. Straight from Japan. Hai!

Jumping in my seat with excitement. Woo.

Awesome JJ!

Will have a gander!

Oh hey. I bought ths UK car mag the other day (I'm sad like that!) I has a free dvd on the cover. Generally the dvd is as exciting as Big Brother or Fair City..But just for a split second they follow an FTO with the craziest Pearl Paint job I have ever seen..very OTT - but kinda cool that somebody actually had the guts to do it.

Just thought I'd share it..

Love the books, love the movies - and yes I'm guilty of even liking the tv-series..
In general I like sci-fi..but Dune is the best by far (&wide)...
