Mondie Firm Member Legacy Donating Member 2,924 Member For: 23y 11m 2d Location: Adelaide Hills Posted 02/05/03 05:35 AM Posted 02/05/03 05:35 AM We finally took the plunge today and ordered a GT. l feel like a kid in a toyshop, now we just have to wait until August to take delivery.Still undecided on colour; my wife likes Phantom, Citric Acid and Black, me Mercury Silver and Citric Acid. We are both leaning toward Citric, however l would like to see what the new Harvest Green looks like, and also if the rumours of a Daffodil yellow like colour also coming out around July are true. Whatever colour we choose, we will go for the stripes, l think they look great. As several people have posted, choosing the colour is one of the hardest decisions. Phantom was an easy choice first time around, but l dont think l want the same colour again.Roll on August :D

Charliewool Member 375 Member For: 23y 8m 11d Location: Melbourne Posted 02/05/03 01:07 PM Posted 02/05/03 01:07 PM Congratulations Mondie!!... So, decisions, decisions? ..The colour is the hardest bit?.... I think, & have been saying for months, that the GT (& for that matter, the XR range) are lacking a nice bright, solid yellow?.. How long do you have before you have to nominate the colour?.. And one thing about your wait is, you still have the old turbo to do the shopping in!... Anyhow, once again, congrats.mate, AND welcome to the "big boys club" !! lol

If we can get that colour, then it will be what we will go for.Did Westpoint take delivery of youre Pursuit today?

Grrrrrr!!!... .... put back AGAIN!!... looking like next Friday?... spoke to FPV direct today about the holdup. And they could not have been more polite or helpful. Besides the rims , which affected all the range, My holdup stems from being Blood orange!.. colour matching of bodykit, & now the hardtop. also Ford originally had my seats with black stitching, now restitched in orange. ( they opted to change this during the course of my build).. Anyhow, waited this long............
