Hi All, New 156 owner

Tas156 · January 14, 2011, 03:30:20 PM

Gday All,

Just want to indroduce myself firstly, Ben is my name and i'm in Tassie

. I have just agreed to purchase a 2004 156 JTS Sports Wagon from Victoria, I have been looking for the right car for quite a while and have only just now found it!

It's a facelift car, with wood steering wheel and 5 speed and only 57,000k's!

Anwyay, I really cant wait to pick it up in a week or so and get it back to some of the great roads in Tasmania.

I am sure it's going to be very happy coming to live with all my Peugeots and my Fiat rally car.

Anyway, look forward to talking with you all as I get into it.

Cheers
Ben

Hi 'Alfa' Thanks heaps. I have already had quite a bit to do with ICE with the arranging of the French and Italian car day in October (I'm the Ben from the French Car Club).

I will be bringing the new car on some of your runs very soon

Cheers
Ben

PS The Fiat 131 I've got is Kev's ex rally car....planning on Targa 2012!

Anyone need anything bringing over from Melbourne? It would be criminal to have an empty wagon coming back on the ferry when it could be full of spares

Hi Miss Sprint,

I'm in Hobart also, sounds like a good plan to bring one down for a road trip!

We should get a group together for a bit of a drive day while your in town

Cheers
