Returning to the dark side...

  Top of Page

Hey there guys,

You may remember me from forums such as RSLC and GTRydaz, well, now I am joining up here due to the 'new' lease vehicle from work.

Just about to sign up on a the dotted line to lease a MY04 Lib GT wags in Metallic Red.
Took the car for a test run and fell in love with it straight away.

So, gone from a 92 RS Liberty to a 99 GT Foz to a 04 GT Lib Wagon.

It's very stock but in brilliant condition, current owner is a Subie fanatic and at 70 has decided to downsize to a new Impreza. The only addition I am going to make in the quick term is tinting and a towbar kit.

It's a 5 spd sportshift auto and that is pretty awesome. My current GT Foz is auto and I was going to step back into the manual mode but with the sports shift I get a bit of both worlds.

I'll post up some pics of it when I get it - hopefully before the end of next week.

:grin:

Oh, and I have a really nice well modded GT Foz for sale, check out GTRydaz if you are interested.

Rims can wait, maybe consider that in 3 years when I am off lease. Not a priority as they will come post tax. wink

The GT lads will get over it, it's not like I will leave them alone on the site ! :crazy:  Too many good friends made through the many meet ups I have been to. As for Magus, well, he is in one damn nice Foz - it's be hard to get him out of it. Main reason I am doing what I am doing is simply the tax benefits and the k's, not to mention the good deal I am getting on the Lib. I only just 'finished' off the Foz mods but you get that. Someone will get a great car.

At least it's basically the same platform I am used to so when it does come to modding time I know what order to get things done in.

Good to see you over here Kev. Those rumours about you swinging both ways are obviously true.

Should put a smile on your dial for Christmas.

Enjoy.

Cheers,
Nik

MATE!!!!!  Nice work yikesk:

Once you're off lease, I hope and trust you'll show this the same love you have shown your Foz. And you can take the boy outta GTrydaz but can't take the GTRyda outta the boy, so as always, look forward to seeing your login over there!


Guys 'n gals - if you're after a tidy GT Foz, it'd be hard to go past Kev's. He has it up for a bargain basement price, and you'd be getting yourself one very comprehensive package.


Use this so called dark force wisely my friend!  :yes2:

Mate, I just got all the paperwork signed off [by my work people] for the lease today, I have been assured that I will have the payment for the seller before Christmas - but - considering that leaves tomorrow and Monday I am not 100% certain it will happen by then. I gotta have faith in the system though I guess, my contact at the leasing company is pretty sure it will happen and they do this all the time(actually I have had about 4 of them working on it for me).

Having said that though I will be sure to take a stack of pics of it for sure. Just from my test drive (about an hours worth mind you) I was feeling comfy in the finishings of the Lib. Back to having cruise control - the only thing my luxo Foz was really missing, climate control - something new and 'cool', bright flashy lights and dials...slightly comfier seats - yep, happy to back in the Lib saddle but will miss the Foz when it goes.

:crazy:

Defi style dash - Drooooooooollllll

The wheel's of Government move very slow, I'm looking at a laptop next year and I'm dreading even starting the paperwork.

I hope you can bring it up for the gold coast meet so that I'll have a friend that understands!  We can't have one lone liberty faced with 60+ Foresters

I missed out on the cruise control as well, the MY00 GT was a confused model anyway, every time i see a black MY00 i still miss my Foz as well

Hope you've got the paperwork sorted soon mate!

I gotta do the k's mate so a trip to the land of gold and coast will be on the cards for sure. Got to sort that at work and home. I have done well so far in leave passes so this is more than likely going to happen. We'll unite and be strong mate - pfffft, only 60 Foz's?? !! Ha ha ha.

Well, not sure if it is a good thing or not but now I am only relying on Aussie post to deliver an express item Monday to secure the deal - cheque is on the way and I am stoked - still stressing a bit about the delivery but hey, it should make it.

Rang the seller and they are stoked, not fussed about doing the deal on Christmas eve either - which is awesome!

Happy days ahead big_smile yikesk:

The worst thing is I have to work on Monday so will have to get the wife to check the PO box for me and then I have to go and drop off the Foz and get a lift to the sellers place (not far from my house fortunately).

Merry GT Lib driving Christmas !!

Well, it's official. It didn't happen pre Christmas which is a bugger but I picked the Lib up today - what a buzz. Stressful time waiting on Aussie post to deliver the cheques from the leasing company. All worth it after the driving today.

I am loving it, cruised around for ages and then got it in to the garage for a clean and polish - gotta love waterless kits from Meguires. Also helped that it rained and after I chamoied the car down it only needed a touch up here and there before the next gen wax went on. Gave the interior a clean up too. Now it feels like mine (the previous owner actually had it in really good condition on pick up but you know how it goes).

We have had storm front after storm front come through so will get some pics tomorrow on my cruise to Cooma and post them up for all to see.

Cheers everyone !!
