    Welcome, looking forward to pix of your car.  Looking at Adelaide on the map, see there is a whole lot of wide open spaces on Route 1 to Perth.  Curious what the speed limits are on roads like that?

    Hi Hemiken
    Depending when you are in Adelaide, it maybe worthwhile attending the Chrysler Car Club of SA annual show, It is on  29-30 March, lots of great cars both Aust And US.
    As for travelling to Albury I don,t know I will wait and see as it gets closer. ( I used to go and take my E49 with full track pack car  1 0f 21 cars produced)
    I will try and post some more photos later

    Hi Dave,

    I will not be able to get to that show buddy. I will be in Adelaide too early, we are going to Adelaide and then do the drive from Adelaide to Bendigo to visit friends and cruise up in convoy to Albury/Wodonga for the show.
    I will keep in touch with you and see if you are available to do lunch or something when we are in your town buddy :2thumbs:

    What colour was your E49 ? pretty rare and expensive car i must say.

    Thanks,
    Kenny.

     :wow: Your Gran Coupe is unreal, i would not hesitate to say that your car has a potential to be a one of car in the combination that it is, Gran Coupes are rare at the best of times, but you have a rare colour combo along with two fender tags of options, i would love to see the fender tags in a picture, you have some very rare options in your car, power windows, cruise control, 3 speaker dash i am guessing with that R35 code AM/FM Radio and fader switch. Can you post up a picture of the back of the car also please, i am interested to see if it has the rear textured window trim also :popcorn:
    Super rare car, thank you for joining and posting up pictures of it, it is awesome :clapping:
