My G6et

[G6ET]

Hi Guys,

Picked my G6ET up on Friday 01-08-08, have included some snaps.

I went for the shadow leather because I thought it would be easier to keep clean, looks like I was wrong, you can see every spec of dirt.

Have included a shot with the carbra on just for those wondering what they would look like.

It's almost due for the 3000km service, speaking to the service manager he says that they don't use any special running in oil. Anyone know if that is right? I'm getting them to dump the oil anyway.

Very happy with everything so far.

Is that a facttory FORD car bra?

[G6ET]

No from carbra in melboune. Cost $440.00.

Nice man

They just whack a semi-synthetic in there, not a 'running-in' oil as such. The general consensus is to change it at around 3k for some more semi-synthetic (I.e. magnatec) and go full synthetic thereafter if desired.

But opinions on engine oil theories are like arseholes - everyone's is different

Fantastic car, looks awesome.

I am looking at getting the exact same specs as yours but wondering would you have gone for the cashmere now or would you still get the shadow?

Hi mjh,

If I wasn't living in a town where there is so much red dust and black coal dust, Iwould have definitely gone for the cashmere leather.

I thought the shadow leather would be a safe option but forgot all the rusks, biscuits, etc. our 15 month old daughter eats in the back all have light coloured crumbs.

Can't win them all.

Thanks tab for your info.

Since people are posting pics of their G6et, I thought I might as well also.

EGO, Black Leather, some aftermarket 18" Rims (Koya zeus)

my previous car was a BA XR6t. And to combine the Xr6 with luxury options is exactly what I wanted. Cheers Ford!

So far the only disappointment is that the ipod integration doesn't fully support the iPhone. Not that I can blame them, but if anyone has information on *if* and when they might upgrade the software to support it that would be great.

cheers

looks nice mate, don't really think the rims suit the subtle beast that the g6et is.. slap some nice non chrome 20s on there ;p
