from the riverland...did uni in adelaide, have graduated now and am working at optusnet. But I come home to the farm when I get a few days off....im there right now. just went for a test drive in an xr6t on the open road.

The sales guy said to look out the window and he floored it and got me to guess how fast we were going..I said 140max......he said 190...I went......um...ok then....can I do that 2???? he went sure!!!

I got in that seat...did a u turn...and on the 1st stretch of open road I planted it.....omg.......omg!!!

Pretty horny hey!!!!

Wait till you get yours and hit the speed limiter.

Not that I condone that type of behaviour.

The riverland have their own private test strip.

I am about to get to "really" try out my T....my boss tells me I have to drive to Broken Hill & Mildura....so Monday 8th Dec I am driving to the "hill".....it use to take me 5 hours in my VX......not sure how long it will take this time.....I think the stretch between Yunta & the "hill" may be somewhat quicker....can't be too quick from Mildura to Adelaide....its saturated in lawful observers.

Just watch out for old man roo,should be a dream run,enjoy.

dont go fast between wentworth and hill....kangaroos galore..mum and dad hit 5 in the patrol when we were driving back there. (bumper bars are wonderfu things ) I origionally came from bhill...nice place when I lived there but had to get out when the mines closed.

theres a little recipe....get 1 xr6t and add 1 roo to the front bonet = one hell of a mess! take it easy...if u see 1 roo...u can bet your life theres a $%^tload more that your not seeing.

Just a word of warning...dont wanna have to see you sitting on the side of the road kicking the crap out of a mushed roo when it hits your car...you get out in a fit of rage..look at your car...see the roo...and just start kicking it.....just make sure green peace isnt near by!

Yeah Mo, have a great trip!

Just another suggestion - given the pristine state of your new T, you might like to consider "a car bra" - I've never had one, but I would look into it if I was taking a new car for a long country trip. About $300.00 I think and you get home with no stone chips etc.

Let us know how how it all goes.

Cheers

I got one,

Had to be sent o"night from melb for the genuine one (wouldn't use any others), cost me about $360

Hi there. Thought I would break the keyboard in with my first post. I was on that cruise in my girlfriends skyline & noticed a couple of XR6Ts & an XR8 there.

I am picking up my new XR6T ute next Fri & will look forward to coming out on the next cruise you guys are having.

Boost6,welcome to the club,looks like you just made another excuse for us to get together again.

How about it folks,a crissie p!ssie ? meet at hackney rd carpark again and a cruise to a pub,say eagle on the hill or whatever,or a bbq in the park lands?

Any takers ,even let voy the boy come along in his old bomb
