Finally Ordering

[SILXR8]

Hi Everyone,

Well the evening has arrived before I order my new Falcon. I have decided to go for an XR8 auto, premium sound, leather, sunroof in either

Silhouette or Blood Orange, I would pick the orange no problems but my wife is unsure of the color.

The decision to go XR8 was only because the car will be a novated car and is about $20 a week more for the 8.

I hope to be able to join you on one of your club days in the future for a day out.

Colors, Colors decisions.

Regards

What can I say? Blood Orange is the best colour, that's why I chose it

The wait for you will get unbearable, but it won't be as long as the XR6T's. I've waited 12 or so weeks for my T and only have a few days to go. The last few days are the worst :(

Good luck and go for the Blood Orange. I chose the Blood orange after seeing a very tasty looking blood orange XR8 at the dealership. The XR8 especially looks brillient in this colour

Go the orange. Both look good, but orange would be easier to keep clean than silhouette. Its also something a little different.

Oh yeah

Yep, l've gotta agree Blood Orange looks the goods. Black would be an absolute bloody pain to keep clean; the car would only look smick for about the first 30 mins after every wash. Plus Black will be a whole lot hotter in the heat of summer.

I have one and it's more like 20 mins....

In all seriosness though, Silhouette looks HORN when it's nice and clean, no colour can compare with it. After a days driving it's already dirty and then every colour apart from HgAg looks better than it

Blood orange is nice though, my brother has it and he gets people approaching him about his car all the time.

Thanks again for the feedback, but I've changed again and will be joining the HgAg crew, I think that stands for Mercury Silver, doesn't stand out as much and it is a company car. has a more refined look :D

Have to get a new cardigan now heeh

Hg is the chemical symbol for mercuy and Ag for silver. Hope that clears it up.

Looks like the wife won!

Good luck with your wait.
