Whether i need to reintroduce myself or not i feel in some respect im starting from scratch again because ive been absent from here for quite some time but still doing the odd log in. So for those people who dont know me my name is Con im from sydney and i own a EL XR8 185kw.
Ive owned my xr8 for just over a year and during the course of that period its been a fantastic experience and absolute pleasure to drive a bent v8! When i purchased her she came with sunroof. momo steering wheel(still have the standard one), fairmont style sun visors(still have the originals), fairmont style centre console lid(still have original) with around 116,000kms from memory when i picked it up, navy blue in colour with the auto box. While in my possession ive put a 2 and a half inch exhaust from brand new cats all the way back leaving the standard headers on it(have taken fone camera pics of the exhaust system but need to take better pics) and also i have bumped the timing up by a couple of degrees. Last but not least thrown in a aftermarket system but keeping the setup looking subtle and factory looking as possible(still carrying original radio) Ive been meaning to join a FPV/TICKFORD club and have been in contact with a member from the club but the constant fuel rises worries me as to how long i will have this car  : but will see how we go ). Now at the moment i do have pics but i have posted them on here before but hopefully ill be taken some new pics today but regardless ill post pics ASAP.Ladies and gents thank you for your time......again

SORTED - I can assure its a v8 buddy lol. I was contemplating about changing my current ''User Name'' and replacing it with something else but i wanted my user name to be from a custom number plate and KNG40L was my only custom plate i had so i thought id stay with kng40l and have down below for my signature what is currently written.
So im hoping that would of cleared up any misconception......
