I took this pic the other day at sunset when a storm was coming through. Looks like a awesome advertisment for the BA Falcon . . . Wish the FG XR50 T was in the driveway at the time. Would have looked 1000 times better.

I noticed the pic you had of Vibe in the colour thread was not a good one - here is one - its my other car

You can borrow my pic for the colour thread

My husband picked up his XR6T yesterday - when it was very very wet and windy. Other than learning how the drive a manual again (the previous cars we have had have been autos) he is very very happy with it - although he did forget he was in a manual and revved it to 7,000 - oops. Spare ended up being a 17inch from the G6E instaed of the space saver - Ford just couldn't get us the matching mag - a little disappointed but not uch we can do - at least we don't have the speed limited spare. When we picked it up, the dealer said ours was one of only two manuals that they had sold in the 5 dealerships tha make up the Canberra / Goulborn region - the other one was in Sunburst. So we are not likely to see another viper driving around here

From what I have heard, the 50th Aniversary XR6T orders have been completely filled - and some of these were from dealers - and they are not making any more. So what you see is whatyou get. You could get the factory extras if you ordered in time. XR6T 50th anniversary Manul in Viper

Spoke with the dealer today - the best they can do is a 17inch alloy so we don't have the speed limited spare . . . . . Pick up 15th October - - does any one else have te XR6T 50t anniversay in Manual an Viper?

Ordered my husband a 50th Anniversary XR6T - manual in Viper a couple of weeks back - delivery date is the 15th of October. At the time I ordered it they didn't tell me that the spare wheel was on of the idiotic space savers. I found out 10 days after I paid the deposit. I rang Ford immediately and requested the spare mag and they told me it was too late in the assembly to order it and to order it as a spare part AFTER the car was delivered. I was a little annoyed then, and and then they got back with the price!!!! If I ordered it with the car it was $250 (which s fair enough) but as a spare part - $1110.48 rim only! the tyre is another couple of hundred. I told the guy I was dealing with that the price was completely ridiculous and he told me he'd look into getting another 19inch -but not matching. Has anyone else had this problem and what can I do about it?
