I've made my choice. Getting on a plane in an hour or so to go get it.

Penrith to Mackay - 1934km (via Pacific and Bruce Hways)

Everyone thinks I'm mad for going to get it. I think it will be an epic two days.

Will post up pics when I get back. Thanks for the opinions/comments.

Bought all three, put the seats (and other interior parts) from the Bimmer and the engine from the RX into the TE?

Sensible me says M3.

Emotional me says TE27.

Irrational me says FC.

That's what I was thinking too. Daily hack, just get a dirty old Corolla wagon or something, that way if it gets doinked in a car park, or nicked, it doesn't suck so much

Well I think if you still like whichever one it is after 2000km of driving, i'm sure you made a good choice

by **d1 mule** » Tue May 24, 2011 7:43 pm

hopei its not the RX, 2000kms is a LONG way in a rotary lol

by **cogent** » Tue May 24, 2011 8:01 pm

long way in an FC too, lol.

M3 would be my vote.

Got back last night.
Google said it should've only taken 23 hours, it took me from 10pm Tue night untill midnight last night, so 26 hours.
There was a lot of roadworks around Coffs Harbor though, at the time I thought I lost 2 hours. Also stopped in to have a coffee with a colleague in Brisbane for an hour.

Car didn't miss a beat. Its the TE btw, will post some pics up when I've cleaned the 2000kms of muck off it.

Nice work! For my 2c, you definitely made the right choice.

by **Snoozin** » Mon May 30, 2011 9:44 am

Yup likewise.

Mega envious, it's a car I'd love to own someday

Awesome! Are you set on using it as a daily? I hope you work some place with safe parking if you do man.
