What's that saying "once you're had black you will never go back"

I'm with you ratter, thought the only difference between the GS and GT was the ecu tune

Dunno But an Audi TTRS here is around 133k NZD(that's about 107k AUD) on the road. Where in Australia the same model is around 133k plus LCT so call it 150k AUD. So go figure.

Sorry Senna, but I would have to disagree with you. Putting your car loan on your mortage definately courses the least amount of financial pain. But would have to be the most expensive way of buying a car.

I must mention that I am now currently living in NZ where Euro cars are much cheaper to buy and service( I hope) I paid 55k change over NZD, that's about 44k AUD. Ford here in NZ still want 70k NZD for a 09 F6 also Ford servicing and parts here are way more expensive then AUS.

The TT is the hairdresser car on the other hand the S and RS models are a different story. I still love my fords just not sure if I would own another

Didn't realise the pics would be so big. They are only 600kb files. Well 2yrs waranty, only need to pay for fuel and tyres during this period. The colour does stand out it was like been a fish in a fishbowl, that's why I had the windows tinted. hahaha

Well I traded my 2003 xr6t and have gone european,The price was too good to refuse. After driving this, I'm not sure that I would ever go back to an Aussie built car

Just got rid of my 03 xr6t, I miss the sound of the turbo and the bov. Traded it in on a Audi TTS, even though its turbo is pumping 16psi cant here the turbo whistle

Some great photos there fellas. I havent checked my Nikon D90 to see if it will autobracket when shooting in RAW. Pretty sure it wont though. Nikon probally didnt see the need,as with any RAW image you can manually adjust the exposure through your photo editing software. Cheers

How's this for a conspiracy theory... Holden.....Roland we will give you want ever you want next year, just make sure that your cars dont win the campionship again this year. JW went from 2nd to 6th in the first race, and for today qual well down.

Guess it was a business decision on 888's part. Would love to see Vodafone make a business decision to drop them when they stop winning next year.

I sent an email to team vodafone. Just spent $200 on supporters gear in Townsville, I will never support a Expensive Daewoo team. So I am after a refund as the gear is now useless to me. They should of had a disclaimer when purchasing. Im pissed off, glad I havent bought tickets for the race up there again next year.

As Tab said. Maybe worth while asking what ford think.

Its the same since the BAs. I reset the avg fuel every fill up, then work out how much is left in the tank from there. It always seems to be with in a litre

you could of told them that you didnt want them...

apparently its been confirmed for sale in NZ next year

98octane in NZ was around $2.20 now its back to $1.54

Airlie and Cairns have got it right with the lagoon, gotta love all those young Scandinavian backpackers

My pick is Lizard is, absolutely beautiful, the only downside is the price. Need to be a movie star to afford to stay there. It is a national park so you can camp on the island

I watched a ford guy replace the bulb in less than 1 minute Unclip the plastic in front of the wheel, behind the bumper just enuff to pull the spot light out and replace the globe.

I had a Dobe, called him Maverick

04 Mazda Luxury sport. Love the stock sound system, why cant Ford get it right....

I was fortunate enough to test drive this black f6 for around 4hrs the other day. It now has nearly 9000klms on the clock. Its the same car that Autocar Nz tested and managed 0-100 time of 4.80ish. I really coundnt notice any lag, maybe because it has so much more power then my stock ba xr6t, these things definately need more tyre width on the rear 1st and 2nd gear could not get any traction. Cant imagine driving it in the wet with worn tyres, actually even in the dry with worn tyres. I have had my car light up the rears in 3rd gear at 100kpm( well and trully caught me off guard) with almost bald tyres. Its been awhile since I have driven an auto car. I left it in perf mode most of the time and was a little disappointed with the gearbox when driven at 7/10ths. I found some nice twisty road, no traffic, so was pushing it hard but not flat out. The gearbox was reguarly getting caught out in wrong gear or changing up at the wrong time, maybe its because I wasnt driving it flat out. The seats I found to be uncomfortable, the side bolsters no longer had support and overall I think the interior of the G6eT is much more stylish. Yes I would definately buy one if FPV did a F6-E.
