We may be needing an Aussie-to-American translator app around here soon... :P

Hello, rossco, and welcome!

You've found the right place for all your FJ needs that eBay won't fill! ;)

Cheers,

Rossco,

Do I know you?  Ularu was only a couple of years ago for me.  Might have been in your dreamtime though.
In US they use FJ & XJR engines in "Legends" cars.  In Aus they call the same thing "Aussie Racing". 
IMO, while this may have had FJ's bought just for the engine, it really makes more body and chassis parts available for us, and keeps engine parts available from Yamaha.
Should you feel the need to translate US <> AU , I can do a reasonable job on most Aussie slang.

Cheers,
Arnie

Arnie,

Hello, and Welcome.

Who couldn't us a makeover?  It just mean you've been ridden and not just sitting on the shelf   :good:

Later, Phil     :bye2:

Tathra?  With the whale? :-)  Yeah, I was there with the first of the Aussie FJ&XJR group rides.  That was back in 2001.  Were you there?

Cheers,
Arnie

Yeah?  Well pick your mug out of the (admittedly poor quality) pic of  the riders at Tathra I just uploaded to the Gallery here.

Rossco,

Lets take this off list.  I'm sure our long lost love is not of any interest to the rest here :-)

If I've followed your instructions correctly, you're the one with the cap holding a beer.  Kneeling in front of you is Mick Rentsch, now a VIC POL sgt.  He also started the Aussie FJ website and list.

Are you now less or more than 6' tall ?

My email is arnfj1188@yahoo.com.au

Clearly there's a need.
