Hahaha. Priceless!

Yeah, agreed. They don't even give you an option on most high-end model cars to have cloth now. It's leather or nothing. Can't see the attraction apart from cleaning spills and not absorbing smells too much. No fun sticking to it or burning your legs in summer or freezing on it in winter. Luckily you can still get fabric on the F6. The new BMW F10 M Sport or M5 I think has a nice suede seat package, much nicer IMHO.

Not really too cheap. There are heaps of FG XR6 Turbos for sale now from $28,000 to $35,000. Most are ex fleet or ex police cars. Why would anyone pay over 35k for a 2008 or even 2009 model these days.

I can't believe you lot still go on about this childish banter when it comes to the G6ET. What about all the XW/XY Fairmonts out there with rear Venetians? No-one would dare make such comments on those old classics, despite a lot of them being currently owned or originally purchased by old folks.

Plenty have passed through the auctions already selling at around the 25k mark. Have seen a number of them for sale at car yards for 29-33k.

A police officer is never off-duty. The OP's post said she was on-duty and in a marked car on the way to a job. Why would anyone treat someone as a "normal" person in that circumstance, let alone being off-duty?

It's interesting that people who apparently obey every rule in society actually think that the Government care about them. How about the thousands of folks who have been fined incorrectly? There have been some pretty high profile cases where people were doing under the speed limit and a speed camera pinged them at doing double or triple than what they were really doing. I wouldn't trust any of these cameras or police radars to be 100% accurate at all - ever.

I had an 80mm throttle body on my BA NA/6 and it made a small difference in throttle response, but coupled with a decent induction kit and the top part of the manifold bored to the same size as the new throttle body, it's a worthwhile mod.

Spotted PURVIE on the Nepean this morning.

Saw 'XRTURB' - Phantom T in Sunshine and 'FRY' - Blood Orange T Ute.
