ducatijb Lifetime Members 3,448 Member For: 21y 22d Gender: Male Location: sydney Posted 08/01/04 01:24 AM Share Posted 08/01/04 01:24 AM I thought I wanted to get rid of my wrx so I made a deal with the missus that I would buy the ute, sell the rex and my 2002 4wd diesel hilux. Kill 2 birds with one stone. I finally got my ute last august yet I still have the rex and the hilux and the ute.would be interested to hear peoples thoughts on getting out of something like a well sorted rex into a standard xr6t. far bigger difference than I thought. :banghead: Urabus Wouldn't be much difference between the ute and rex,you can only fit two people in both :banghead: Performance wise,wouldn't have a clue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMoffat Member 744 Member For: 21y 4m 18d Posted 08/01/04 05:33 AM Share Posted 08/01/04 05:33 AM I guess so Scotty - if pouring bucket loads of cash over the years into wheels to impress strippers is your thing, then I'm your guy.Bloody Harleys, I nearly got thrown out of home during that stage. How was I to know the girl who begged to ride on the *beep* pad during the poker run was the evenings entertainment?OK, her distinct lack of clothing did get my attention, but...It sure as hell got my wife's attention when she drove by the Pub, saw the bikes and thought she would stop and ask how the run was going. While said young thing was on the back. That's on the back of the bike, not on her back!But then I digress, which I would have loved to do at the time...
