Farewell Aurion....

[ELEGNT]

Well guys last week I sold the aurion …I put it onto carsales the day before and within 30 seconds of me submitting the ad this guy called. The next morning he came over and brought it. Ive had about 10 calls for it so far too. And to make me feel even worse when I was driving it that day for the very last time the amount of people that stared at it and gave me the thumbs up was unbelievable, just made me feel even more sad to let it go. When he drove out of my yard with it I actually did shed a tear…but it went to a great guy (who is now a member on here AKL80) and a great home.

So I just want to say thank everyone for all there help and usefull info over my time on TOCAU and especially the Brisbane boys for being a mad bunch to hang around with. :) Extra special thanks to daryl for helping me out with my car so many times, that was really appreciated dude! Aswell as Michael for being my photography/cruising to cane fields buddy lol.

It’s a shame I didn’t get to bring my car down to the annual meet and meet everyone that I wanted too but hopefully ill still be welcome to the next one regardless of what car I drive…and Ill try and make it out to the weekly Brisbane meets and stay reasonably active on the forum

Goodluck with all your modding everyone and take care

Best wishes

good to hear :D

Shame to see such a good Aurion move on from it's original modifier. So much effort was put into that car and was the envy of many other Aurion owners out there. Hope the Colt brings you much more enjoyment of a different kind mate.

[RoM2nV]

such a shame, you had my favourite aurion btw!

[whitestivo]

[StreetAngel]

you will have to be out next thurs, as the celi is a tad broken at the moment.

I'll be out this Thursday mate to see your new ride.

Looking forward to it.

And this little battle between you and Whitestivo shall be quite interesting.

Did you keep your 313GNT plates?

[whitestivo]

313, its on my friend

I won't be out at QR for a while, got some issues with the car that need sorting out first (DJ knows that feeling). I would come to watch.

I will however be out at the next dinner so I'll be spying your litte gogo mobile then

I think my air con has more than 13lbs of pressure in it

Get a plate after my stivo squashes your car, here's a thought

According to Redbook, the Colt R will go from 0-100kms in 8 seconds flat. Stock.

Where as the Sportivo will go from 0-100kms in 8.4 seconds. Stock.

.4 of a second isn't much. And alot would come down to the driver.

I'm thinking that because there is a turbo on the Colt... tuning would be very easy.

It's light, and 'handles' great apparently...

I wouldn't go stamping it out just yet.
