Another Gibbo one!

Gibson Girl!

Yet another!

Another Ford Racing!

Ford Racing! Yep!

Big Kev's! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

A mate of mine just bought some of these bulbs from Autobarn, called 50plus or something for his new Jeep. Although I havn't heard how they are yet the demo in the shop looked great. They have the same watt ratting but give a 50% brighter and whiter light. Looked great from what I saw in the demo box at Autobarn. From memory they rang from about $60-$90 depending on what H rating you require. So what are the Falcon's, I'm too lazy to look.

I was just thinking about the site and how we could possibly raise some money for future site developments and upgrades (including the one needed right now). What if we had an AUCTION section where people donated items of interest (memorabilia, car accessories etc.) and once an item is sold all proceeds are donated to the site. Don't burn me for this I was just thinking of ways that everyone could benifit by donating items and money to the site.

I saw a DJR320 going up the Logan Motorway about a month ago in Black and you could hardly notice the bonnet thingy. But anyway I think the F6 looks, as my late father would say - HORN! I think what they could do is have 2 options to their spoiler kits. Mild or Wild maybe and then you could have the best of both worlds. But I think the more aggresive kit looks fantastic and gives it a bit of more exclusivity over the standard XR6+XR8. Look at it this way, HSV have done it for how many years and it works well, (I know that people who drive them are $%# wits but hey, they do still have a couple of ok looking cars, not that you would catch me in one though) And I think that FPV should have a more aggressive styling.

I wouldn't mind going back to another Mazda. Like an RX8. My wife has a Mazda6 and the build quality is second to none and drives absolutly fabulous. But I still love my FORDS through and through.

Yeh the Mazda's are nice cars. My wife also has the Mazda 6 Luxury Sports, and it is a fantastic car. A friend of ours has just bought the new SP23 and I tell you what, very nice and doesn't go too bad either. I am thinking seriously about looking at the RX8 for my next car. Depending on what Ford does in the next 2 years.

Why would you want an XT to go slower!

I know this has probably been covered befor but I did a search and couldn't find anything. But I was just curious what type of spare wheel people have. I opted for the 18's only 4 but thought I would at least get a 17 as a spare, but I finally had a look the other day to find only a steel wheel. Is this the done thing, as it doesn't quite worry me that much as you usually get a flat fixed asap. But I was just wondering what everyone else ended up with if different as I know you can order 5 18's and need to with the premum brakes.

I could be ok to do it. But I will have to check and get back to you. Will let you know asap.

The bucket and chamois does work and I know of a guy with 7 corvette's and not one of them has seen running water after he has restored them completly, and I can tell you these cars are immaculate. He usually has 1 or 2 at the Brisbane Motor Show each year. Not sure if he was there this year though, I didn't make it.

You could try 'XR6 JET' ?

Ken, that's the best thing I've heard you say all year. He He.

I should be going this week some time for a droul. On wednesday night they are having their PPQ number plate auction and they are going to auction the plate 'FPV', be interesting how much someone is willing to pay for it. Dam I didn't win the lotto on the weekend so it wont be me.

Thanks for the pic's! Hey does the XR6T ute run different tips on the exhaust? I havn't noticed this before. I guess they must always be behind me. HE HE!

Peter, Whats involved with the phase I & II type auto upgrade? And what sort of improvments should we expect if any or does it just provide extra strength?

What an awsome piece of machinery. Wouldn't you love to see one of these whip those bloody cheating 427 monaro's (that are not going to production yet still racing in a production based series, well that's my beef over now) in the nations cup.

:banghead: Can be a bit difficult to keep clean, but you have to wash all cars once they get dirty anyway! Swirl marks, scratches, and stone chips can be a problem but if you are handy and patient with your polish, she will look a treat all the time Here's a pic of mine after a bath.

AMoffat, I have on good authority that that is correct. Ford wont honnor any warranty on the cars, and it will be upto DJR and Herrods. Also that with Herrods involvement in the project, FoMoCo is not to happy about it either and as a consequence they may not be getting any inside or direct dealings or work from them anymore. Like doing their show cars etc etc. Hmmm that's a bit of a blow.

567.4 Is my best so far! How the hell did you get 824.3?

I had a lot of problems with my AUII XR6 ute and I got on to Ford Customer Relations in Melbourne and went as high as I could and told them what was happening. They then inturn rand the sevice dept. and low and behold after a couple of phone calls to them though, it was eventually fixed. But I still wont bother getting minor paint imperfections fixed unless they are quite big. Let me tell you, not worth the hassal no matter where you go.
