Hi guys mrflibbles/paul here

Post by mrflibbles »

Just so you all know i am from adelaide and i currently am bellet/isuzuless. I got into the bellets after i bought one as a cheap replacement for a car i wrote off, it was allot of fun fro the couple of weeks i had it! unfortunately that car met an untimely death in a chance meeting with a pulsar! never fear all usable bits went to a mate, and the engine was eventually transplanted into his bellet i believe!
so i was again looking for a replacement car when i was led to an isuzu florian, what an amazingly ugly car, so i bought it! i then proceeded to get 2 more florians (they really are a sickness!), anyway these all eventually left this world for various reasons, and i was again isuzuless for a while.
eventually i ended up with a mate getting a couple of bellets from down south, and i bought a gt local that needed alot of resto work, but hey i at least got it to run! my mate moved over to perth and i couldnt afford to buy him out of his bellets so i was left with the gt, which i put into storage in a friends shed only for it to go missing... not found.
so here i am again isuzuless
but i do have an old 53 ford zephyr, a 1991 subaru liberty and a 60 series cruiser, i would like to get another bellet one day but would love another florian (just because i can!) so there you go!

and i chose the user name mrflibbles as he is a darned talented sock puppet on the tv series red dwarf! and also it is usually always available!
cheers guys!

Welcome the smeg to the forum Mr Fribbles. If you have any photos of your ex Florians it would be great to see them.

big welcome paul!!

and the GT went "missing"...
not a good thing to hear at all mate.

as you probably already know, the adelaide boys on here have a good handle on where most cars are over there,
so maybe they can help with your search one day.

cheers.
Brett.

most of the adelaide guys may have known this car as i got it of a local bellett nut!(also great guy), not sure where it went but it was a year or 2 ago now so its been a while, not holding my breathe on it re appearing, but hasnt deterred me from owning another bellett or florian! would like to meet some more of the adelaide guys at some time!

Welcome aboard Mr Fibbles :)

Dave, Antus and myself are all down here in sunny (well, bloody hot today) Adelaide so we'll have to catch up for a run at some point.

Keep an eye on the for sale section and you might pick up a bargain there and be back in the Bellett world again!

Enjoy the forum and hopefully catch you around.

Cheers,
Ross
