Yeah Benny, one of the blokes has a vid on the xr5 club of him snapping a driveshaft trying to dial it out. Youwch.

Obviously never going to be as quick as an awd off the line, but i reckon it gets going pretty quick compared to what i have had. Once iv'e done a few mods i would love to have a burn.

More keen on a Marulan day though. They still active Benny or did they go under?

Yeah but an "ST" is what it actually is. That same badge is on the engine cover, standard and Aus delivered like that. I cannot understand why car marques in Oz feel the need to change the name of a car like this. The next gen Ford Focus hot hatch will be delivered here called the "ST". Its pretty common for Aus owners to change the badges over. I just couldn't stand XR5.

Putting a Chev badge on a Holden would be like me putting a Volvo badge on my Focus.

If you have an accident, what do you tell the insurance company it is?
