Picked up my FG last Thursday and drove home with a big grin on my face Headed up to Albury on the weekend, mostly highway though did go via Beechworth, was astounded when I reached the other end with 8.1 L/100km average fuel economy! Engine is barely bothering to turn over at 110.

Love the car though, perfect for cruising and then great fun when you knock it over into sequential for the twisty bits, I'm a very happy man right about now. Best part was chatting to my cousin in the pub before going back to his — didn't tell him what I'd bought but his first question was "Is it faster than my car?" (he has a 10 year old V8 Berlina). When we got back to his he ran up to the back to see what it was, and then said "I saw XR6 and I was gonna bag you, but then I saw the Turbo..."

Only slightly annoying thing I've found is running through a large iPod library, takes quite a while to scroll through starting from A — are there any short cuts?!

Good times

sounds like your pretty stoked.

is the FG brand new?

Definitely stoked!

It's a 2009 car, 75k on the clock. Will go and take some pics of it on the weekend.

oh good...yes def need pics.

I only asked cause it sounded like you were thrashing the shyt out of a brand spanker lol

Ha ha, no worries there I like to look after my engines!

They certainly are grin-inducing Glad to hear you're wrapped with it.

RE: iPod, no there's no easy way. Only sort-of solution is by using playlists and changing them frequently, I've created a heap of lists from genius results to get a good mix but when you have the urge to listen to a specific band you have to settle yourself in for half an hour of dial turning

Doh!

I was wondering — can you put folders into playlists or have the tracks grouped by album? If so a playlist for each letter of the alphabet might cut it but still isn't ideal.

No I don't think so mate, a playlist is just a list of individual songs not albums.

Or another option is to unplug the iPod, find the track you're after, then plug it back in. Again not ideal though.

You can have the songs in albums.

Yeah I hate that. I just disconnect my iPod and choose the song.
