That was there and back. I'll actually be doing it again in a few days, but I saved enough this time to not feel the sting haha

@@AvenirRacing can't complain about 2k there and back ... that's 2695km each way !! I am driving my 06 Highway Star from Melbourne to Bundaberg Qld next year around March.

@@tracybrown3057 Hope you enjoy the drive! The costs are worth it when you're in something this comfortable. The $2k just shocked me initially, because I first crossed the Nullarbor in my FG G6E Falcon, and that cost me $800 total. Much cheaper. Can't sleep in that comfortably though, not if you wanna keep your spine in one piece.

Just changed the title, as you're now the second person to point out that it isn't actually an XL (I was going by the opinion of a few members at ElgrandOC, but even I initially suspected it was a highly-optioned Highway Star.) It's definitely been debaged, which I'm okay with. That Nifty upgrade is also something I didn't even know existed, and I'm now about to order it. Thank you for mentioning it, as I've actually needed something like this for a while now.

So it's been a while, but I ended up getting its spec sheet. It seems this is a 2008 350X (which I didn't even know was a model), specced up to an XL, which explains why it has no captain's chairs, but every other option. It had Autech badging at one point, as I saw in the auction photos, but these were removed before I purchased it (I can't find anything about X-series being Autech enhanced, so someone probably slapped that on.) Very interesting, this Elgrand world.

Had mine for 5 years. Black rider. We both share the worst interior colour though. Fucking beige…

You won't regret it! So comfortable, and so warm to sleep in on cold nights too.

The seat material was selected by the original buyer according to the documents given to me by the importer. It has all other options you'd expect from an XL. Do you know what model it might be if it isn't one? I've been told by quite a few people over at ElgrandOC that it certainly seems to be an XL. EDIT: You're right, not captain's seats. They swivel to face the rear, though. No clue if that was a standard thing. I'm not sure what this thing is, I'm just going by what I've been told.

So I only know a lot about the XL as that's what I was researching to buy. All XL's have the captain's chair and only came in tan leather. No other grade was able to get captain's chairs. As for the swivel most of them did it besides the base grade. Not sure what your model is but you could spec them pretty much to XL level so it's a pickle to figure out.

@@Leaptab I initially went with a highly-optioned Highway Star, so I'm probably going to go back to assuming that's what this is.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, man. This video really means a lot to me.

Was that using 98? Can you use 91 fuel?

$2k that's there and back right, so $1k each way.

Yeah, using 98. Can't use 91, but can use 95 if needed. I'm pretty strict on what I put in my cars.

I was just showing how useful the camera can be, I don't personally use it while driving lol. imo, you don't really need to rev much higher than 3k to get moving in these, so I find power mode to be more of a 'use more fuel but not get anywhere any faster' switch. End of the day, these are slow vehicles (although quick for a van.)

@@AvenirRacing absolutely. I was recommended the power mode by a friend of mine who lives in an extremely hilly town. Great video btw.

@@colinbooth531 Cheers mate! Yeah, power is definitely good for holding those revs haha

She's sitting on Hussla 19's currently.

​@@AvenirRacinghi what is the width and offset of your rims

Thank you :) I'd usually reverse in, but had a metric shitload of shit to buy and put into the cargo area, and access is easier from the road haha

Course I do!

@@AvenirRacing Tysm =]

Oh, it's shockingly advanced for an '08. I think only higher end Euro cars offered this kind of stuff at the time. It certainly feels far more modern than it is. And yeah, I feel you there. The right (fast lane) here is the same. There's ALWAYS some idiot oblivious to the line of cars behind them who actually want to get where they're going in reasonable time. It's so selfish.

True

I couldn't abandon the crew~

@@AvenirRacing (:

Glad to be back! :3

Yeah, I haven't played the game in weeks. I've felt no passion from the devs in literal months. I know I need to keep making videos, but I might only come back once a better racing game comes around. FH5 is an exercise in laziness and horrendous UX.

It's so disappointing. Someone on reddit made a mockup of the kinds of cars he'd have liked to see, and it included The F6 Typhoon, which is what I've wanted to see in a FH game for years. It really just feels like they aren't trying anymore.

Good point.

fordzathon??? more like boredzathon!

The AU is the sexiest car ever made haha

Yes Yes
