New-cummers aren't required to bring lamingtons or underwear. Oh, and if you need help coping with the wait ... (2 weeks, pfft!) ... just head for your local liquor barn. BTW, Whatchawearn' ...

cmdwedge Member 35 Member For: 21y 1m 13d Gender: Male Location: Canberra, Australia Posted 19/03/04 03:04 AM Author Share Posted 19/03/04 03:04 AM Thanks for the welcome, everyone.Just for the record, I was about to order a Phantom XR6T but at the final minute, chose a Mercury Silver (with appropriate colour matching stuff inside). Whilst I liked the Phantom, each time I saw one on the road, I liked it less and less. I've had the Mercury Silver XR6 wallpaper on my PC for a few weeks and I like it more and more each time I see it .. so I had a nervous sort of feeling getting the Phantom, but from when I made the phone call to my novation company and changed the colour, I've felt at ease the whole time. I'll have the car for at least 3 years (maybe more) so I don't want to regret the colour choice one day down the track. The Mercury Silver (or as I describe it to my friends 'like, a dirty silver colour') looks more professional, sleek, and dare I say it - futuristic? I have a dark grey motorbike too, they'll look nice together :lol: Again, thanks for the great advice from those in the know. I've chosen Solartint in Belconnen to do the tint job, a guy at work had them do it on his Subaru Liberty wagon and he won't shut up about how good a job they did (he even emailed me some pics). They know about the whole 'rear window aerial' business and have some fancy non-metallic but non-dye tint for it.And finally - HgAg doesn't mean someone is old - I'm 28. I just like stylish rather than garish things, especially when it's as great an expense as a new car!Thanks again,Phil Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/9700-getting-a-new-xr6t-in-a-few-weeks/#findComment-103067 Share on other sites More sharing options...
