Haha.... I know I need a decent camera. My missus refuses to buy a new camera and would rather spend our money on the bikes/car. Working on it though.

I know mines not the same car,but I was on the highway today and thought I'd watch the fuel reading.... I was getting between 6.7-7.5/100 km @ 110km/h. Pretty happy with that.

Cheers guys.... the F6 is my first real car, always had bikes. Before that I've just driven run about cars, hatchbacks etc. Nah not the rigs....Navy. Just came off a 4 year (most of at sea) ships posting to work ashore as an instructor. So its good to be home to have a break and get into a normal life.

Gave the bikes a clean today and thought I'd post a couple of pics of my toys. I've had the F6 for a couple of weeks and love it. Has the 6 speed auto and leather trim, tinted the windows but can't lower it due to just getting into our driveway now. 09 ZX10R, heaps of fun and when the F6 isn't fast enough it fills the gap. Too many mods to list... My 10R and the missus 09 ZX6R.... quick bike for a 600. Might be hers but I ride it more..... go figure. And my 2 toys together... Have no plans on selling the car.... but my next bike will probably be a Ducati 1198s, have to wait to go back to sea first. Sutto

Won't be able to this week due to heading to Brissie.... but will come along another night.

Nice car silverman. How often do you guys meet up at Harry's?

Cool video.... been wanting to get mine out the drags, but waiting for a mate to finish building his new car. Can't wait to get out there now after watching that.

Hows the new car Silverman???

I've got the ZF auto in my F6.... love it. After years of driving manuals, I test drove the manuals in the SS, GT, XR6t etc. A mate mentioned the ZF auto and recommended it and I haven't looked back. I don't know if its much different in computer control between the XR and the F6, but mine down changes easly when coming into corners or at a set of lights.... never sensed that it was looking for the next gear. Today I was helped the in-laws test drive some new Subaru's (WRX Sti spec R and the Liberty GT Turbo) in auto because that's what they wanted. I was suprised how boring the WRX was to drive, I had it selected in Sports Sharp Mode and it was crap. Sure it handled well but I couldn't feel the turbo and it didn't have any sound..... and we were really flogging this thing to see what it could do(apparently the manual is the way to go in the Sti, and for the auto they down tuned it by 50nm so not to blow the auto gear box). The Turbo Liberty on the other hand, even though it was 20kw less.... felt more responsive and had the lick and sound of a turbo.... alot more fun to drive and $20,000 less to buy. Anyways....sorry for getting off topic. Have fun with the new ride mate.

Nice, if I didn't have such a sh*t driveway I'd lower mine too. Next property I look for will have a better driveway.

Mate I was the same.... the night before I had a sh*t sleep and couldn't sleep past 5am. Great car though.... worth the loss of sleep.

I'm guessing that's on airbags or similar..... how much did that set you back? Looks good mate.

A couple of years ago a younger mate of mine wanted a WRX, the salesman ignored him.... so he walked across the road and bought an SS(alot of kids in the defence force are on some good money now days). His dad knew the Subaru manager and rang him up the next day to tell him what his son did and how much money he had to spend.... and how much he lost. I recently was looking for a demo FG F6, saw one a dealer that I liked and even took it for a test drive (around the bloke for 5 minutes). When we got back he was keen to sell it, but didn't want to talk deals.... said the price was set and wouldn' go any lower. The next day I went to another dealer to look at another F6 I was really keen on, newer, 10,000 less k's etc. The salesman jumped in the car with me and we took it for a good drive, no rush to get back to the yard. When we got back he was interested in finding out what he could do to get me in the car. To shorten the story I'm picking mynew car this week. First dealer rang me the other day to see if I was still interested..... told him I picked up a newer model for less. He was abit taken back, but it's not my fault if he didn't want to deal.

#679 - Viper - Auto - Sedan My first F6...

Sounds like fun... if I was up that way at that time I would give it a go.
