Default Bye Bye XG

Well Guys and Girls my ute was written off last night....

Turned left at a roundabout and the shift kit got me and i ended up across the road in a embankment and hit 2 trees

Before.....


After.....



But not to worry westfarmers are going to let me keep the ute due to the mods and pay out $8 000 so im looking at a XG XR6 ute now to put it all in...
AND NOTHING IS FOR SALE!!!!

Damn Gav, that seriously sucks, but at least you're still around to tell the story.
If i see an XR6 ute for sale, you'll be the first to know.
Cheers, Noel.

Like I said on MSN mate, you would be nuts not to get a XH over a XG. Its like EB/ED vs EF/EL.
