Marlin the T3 Hits the road


Howdy

Well on friday finally got the T3 rego'd with the Ea81 in.
Mod plate all done

We have done over 200ks since Friday with no problems so far.
engine temps are in the lower half of the temp range even in bumber to bumber traffic.
He pulls up hills good with out losing speed,
he is no flyer but is a nice cruzer. as my wife says I am an old fart and don't drive fast so why have a fast car:lol::lol::lol:

So it looks like it is Marlin for Valla, we are going to do a lot of ks on him over next few weeks to make sure all is good.
