Hi There, I bought an FB back in March. Ive owned 3 in NZ, but this is my first in the UK. I love the car, I take it to Sainsburys, to the gym..drive it whenever I can and take good care of it. I just wanted to say hi and i'm really enjoying reading the forum.

Hi, welcome to the forum. Good to hear of another FB in regular use. Taxed and MOT'd FBs are getting quite rare in the UK :(

We love pics, post some up!

We plane spotting at Heathrow a few weeks ago 😂
I think there are a few people who would know the car. I bought it off eBay with some damage and got it fixed up by Super7, who did a fantastic job. I’m sure there are a few kiwis on here, there work reminds of the fastidious work the legend Mark Julian used to do.

There is a few.

Thanks guys. I must say I’m starting to fantasise about driving up north in the RX during the kiwi summer...might have to settle for a drive to Cornwall on a dry weekend. I’m loving reading the forum. If anyone knows where I can get some OEM (or OEM style) FB mudflaps do let me know.
