spooner Member 84 Member For: 15y 9m 12d Posted 10/08/08 01:16 AM Share Posted 10/08/08 01:16 AM (edited) I junked /traded my 05 BA MkII XR8 Ute , for the FG6T ute.I still got my 04 VY SS II as the family car, at least it drives nice, handles well and sounds like a V8 . Sure its a Holden , but at least it wants to Stick to the Road like Glue , unlike my Pig Dog handling XR8. Hopefully the FGT will make up for the Dissapointment of the BA8 , I hope , nearly bought a VE SS , nearly , so close yet couldnt bring myself to do it .I hope I made the right choice . Besides the Mrs and teenage kids are all Expensive Daewoo Boguns, so I had to fly the Ford Flag in our family as a matter of Pride Edited 10/08/08 01:23 AM by spooner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 16y 5m Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 10/08/08 03:32 PM Share Posted 10/08/08 03:32 PM 87 NA6 XF Fairmont - given to me by my cousin (cheers!).That started to go (radiator leak bigtime on the freeway, not fun) so took the chance to get a smash damaged EAII 3.9 MPFI (much nicer) which I repaired with dad...nicer car by far even though it's only 3 years newer than the old XF! Air-con, hurrah While we were fixing this up I drove a mate's Saab 900, like a 1990 model. OMG I felt like such a tard being seen in that Reallllly wanted an FG but maybe next time - should have an 07 BFMkII in Lightning strike early this week (for half the price!). Stoked! And I've only driven a 6T once - at the test drive last thursday...a ride in a BA 5 or so years ago convinced me I wanted one and finally I've made the leap. See you at the cruises!

Loving the extra power but still getting used to the lack of AWD and the extra mass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
