Hi Jeff,
Sitting at home typing this the day after Classic Adeliade has finished, lucky i saved this old email on my home pc as i havent been at work for some time due to illness. I know we chatted about specs and set up etc and you had a good safe run at tassie. Well my news isnt so good, i got very sick in late August, like a whooping cough type virus but into the 4 th month now and still very crook, docs havnt nailed it down other than rest and maybe have a year off work...i was trying really hard to get well to drive in Classic but just didnt happen, finshed up in hospital last week by over doing it. My Starion just ran in Classic Adelaide as i put another experinced team in the car to meet my RAA Insurance sponsor commitments. The boys ran well and put the car in the top half for most stages except an off on Sat put them out of contention , but they were back in the event sunday and ran strong to the end in a megga tough field, without damage thankfully and mechanically, tyres and brakes the car finished so strong it could go around again today!.
My question is this Jeff, my wife and i have decided enough is enough and to just spent the next year trying to get well so , yes the car is on the market. I dont want to go through all the advertisering, test pilots and haggling so i want to see if you have some interest first knowing you love these cars too. As you know the car has been professionionally built and painted ( car is all black, roof and bonnett are yellow stickers that all peels off) it has all the gun engine bits.sleeved block.. Aries pistons, eagle rods etc , brand new 2.4 head and 20g hybrid turbo, Autronic, multipoint, big injectors and pumpetc best seats , cage and harness i could buy, big USA style lsd diff, custom ally rad, intercooler etc, 3 piece Southern Ways Ralliart factory alloys, adj bars and adj tokico and springs set for tamac rally, also ralltrip and terrfone and I can go on and on but you get the picture, plus new spare head , recon turbo, spare gearbox, diff, wheels plus boxes of bits etc
The car owes me 50k and i was looking for about 25k.... that was before i got ill, mate i cant do the haggling and was going to put it in car sales and my105 for about 18,500 , hopefully for a quick sale.... all bull aside i was then going to take 15ish ... i just want it out the driveway and need to concentrate on getting better, so heres my offer. Take it away for 15k including everything and i know you will be getting a great deal of car for the money and i will have one less thing to worry about over the next year. If you have some interest ... please ring me on my mobile on 0417 882 781. thanks mate and cheers,
