Lol, that pic of Pat is classic. Nah, we didn't get any snow but it was bloody cold outside. The car said it was 2 degrees but it felt colder with the wind.

I'm from Northmead. There's another G6ET nearby but I don't think he's on the Forums...

Congrats guys. It'll barely be out and Jet will have you carrying another one I bet

I just got home 20 minutes ago. This was my first proper cruise and I had an awesome time. Thanks for all the work you put in Gary and to everyone else who attended and made it an event. I think everyone had a ball and Senna did a good job taking the lead for most of the cruise. I tip my hat off to him juggling a manual, steering wheel and radio on those twisties. It's not easy when you try to do it yourself, haha. I'll definitely be going again next year.

Went through rain, hail and snow this afternoon on the way to Omeo

Spotted many cars in the Snowy Mountains today

Lol, England are gone. Surely India will send them in to bat again, they're bowlers have barely sweated.

Are you getting an FG MkII Shyfrd?

And we only took one wrong turn...or maybe two...

OK, you can update me as booked in for all 4 days now However, I'm going to be delayed leaving Sydney, so I'll have to catch up to everyone later in the afternoon. I won't be able to get to Mt Annan before 2:15pm.

What tyre pressures do you guys run for the cruise?

And SA are short a batsman too

I'm still coming, looking forward to meeting everyone.

I've noticed more people seem to get done in Vic than most other states going by the posts on here. In NSW, they only seem to come out for big events, otherwise you're pretty safe. Vic seems to have them randomly on the highway or in the city and stuff. No idea if its just coincidence but it does seen that they're a lot tougher with enforcement in Vic.

It won't go back to first in Sports Mode unless you manually flick it back.

Forget the lady, the receptionist at mine isn't much good either. She was giving me the capped price service payments for a G6E (no Turbo)... My experience with the service guy has been better. They're a large dealer (they have seperate full size sites for new, used, service and another for parts) so it may help as I've basically been 'assigned' one service guy. Any warranty or servicing issues, I get transferred to him, when I've taken the car in, it's always him who takes me through what they're doing, calls me when it's ready, etc. Obviously I have no idea if he actually does the work (but I saw him doing a F6 once, so possibly he's the resident 'Turbo Expert' or something) but its good to at least talk to the one person and when you mention something he actually remembers from your file rather than going 'ill have to speak to 'Bill' about what he did with that'. That's not to say its all rosy. I've had Bluetooth issues that took a couple of goes before they understood the problem properly.

As an example, my dealer wanted $6xx for tinting and I got it done for less than half that aftermarket.

Yeah, it's the stock look that makes it attractive even though it doesn't have oil pressure. Temp is still better than nothing. Do you know whether its possible to buy the cluster from Ford or is it restricted like other FPV parts?

Saw Henz new ute on FB, looks good with the 20's although I think the orange makes them standout too much...probably get heaps of cop attention again.

Sounds like this is really the major weak point of FG's. At least Valve Springs fail slowly. How hard is it to stick an F6/F6E cluster into a normal XR/G6? I let mine warm to normal on the coolant gauge (a little below half way) and let it sit there before I give it any. In Winter, it has taken 12km/20mins to get there and when I was stopped at the lights, the coolant temp actually dropped... Would be good if we can transplant the F6 cluster in with the oil pressure gauge.

Accommodation is booked for Friday and Saturday night How many from NSW are going to continue with the Sunday mini-Vic cruise?

I have a king single. A double is too short and a queen wot fit in my room so I'm out of options, lol. I guess moving out of home would fix that but that costs more money...

Yeah, Will Davison has poll. Whincup was 0.0002 sec ahead of him at the second split but finished in 2nd

Congrats on the purchase. Lol,you still seem to need to purchase the obligatory 'grandpa spec' incl. cane, bowls hat, cardigan, etc.

Nah, its supposed to be 18 on Saturday and 21 on Sunday... Going all out with the Gold Label, haha
