The Irish Mitsubishi FTO Owners Club

Just thought I'd let ya all know that I am the proud new owner of Speedyboy's FTO :lol:

I am over the moon with it, it really is a class car, well looked after so big thanks to Speedyboy. The girlfriend couldn't believe it when I pulled into her drive in, shocked to say the least!

Congrats Declan, was wondering who got it. That colour is pretty unique on an FTO (although there was a mention of another similar one spotted a few months back) but I'd guess there's only 2 FTOs if even that many that colour.

Happy motoring!

Great news Declan, welcome to the fold

Thats a unique looking FTO you have there, you should be easily spotted!

Cheers lads, no doubt I'll be on wrecking all of your heads with stupid questions! Getting a lot of compliments since I got it, probably becaue it's parked beside a Fiesta & an Escort (not that there's anything wrong with them :roll:

)

With all the tourists around that part of the country, you should have charged them to view, and extra to have their photos taken with the FTO :idea:

, maybe sold some aran sweaters with the FTO logo on. Missed opportunity you could have had that TVR............

Is this car now based in Crumlin?
you did previously own a flip sort of civic did you?

by **declanc** » Mon Feb 28, 2005 6:55 pm

Yeah it's based in Crumlin now, not too happy with it being parked outside the house tho, saw a few lads in "suped up civics" stopping beside it and then shooting off, didn't like that much :!:

Sold the civic last week, it was a great car aswell, nice spray job done.

will keep me eyes open for your car, lovely colour

, very unique indeed , id love a closer look.

AL (born n bred in crumlin) and still living there....... HELP :lol:

i was based there on st.mary's road, moved out to the naas road but i'd still pass there every now and then when i'm down at the bank.
car does look well though.

Al, where are you based? what are you driving, might have seen her parked up somewhere.

you were nearly in big trouble there speedyboy!!!

by **declanc** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 10:34 am

Dave,

Did you use to work for O'Reilly Cullen on St. Mary's Road? I'm sure it was your car parked there most days.

by **Dave** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 10:35 am

yup. still do...... :wink:

by **declanc** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 10:48 am

I knew it was your car the min I saw your pic! Car looks really well, the kit looks class, where did you get it from?

by **Dave** » Tue Mar 01, 2005 10:52 am

she's not looking too hot lately, a little bit rough around the edges, i got the kit from www.pow-r.co.uk
i'll more than likely be changing the front bumper and hopefully getting a full respray to sort out all the little minor stuff, the interior is a little shabby as well but i suppose this weather doesn't really help!

well that's what i keep telling myself!! :wink:

dave i live about a hundred metres from where you used to have your insurance office. on marys road too, driving a white '99 gpx manual

by **rsg** » Thu Mar 03, 2005 1:14 am

Damn Al, a '99 model?! How much did that set you back out of interest?

so that's yours straight across from the junction turning down towards the village...... I'd seen a few times alright..

by **declanc** » Thu Mar 03, 2005 11:37 am

Al,

I only work across from where you live, if you look into the village you will be able to see my car just beside Doorwise :shock:

its parked there most of the day untill about 6. Iv'e seen your car and it looks class, didn't know it was a '99.

by **kevinod** » Thu Mar 03, 2005 12:37 pm

Man, if was looking to 'borrow' someones FTO I know where to look!

Might be a good idea to be slightly less specific about where your FTO is parked all day guys...

(maybe edit the posts?)
