  1. Lol I've seen that Late model camira as well, or one done up the same way. It was at the traffic lights at chermside on brisbane's northside. From a distance I thought it was a xr6, then when I got closer I thought WTF, it turned out to be a VT SS comodore in the xr6's exclusive colour. To make it worse, it had black GT stripes down the side! Talk about "I wanna be a ford" It looked pretty crap, I've seen ef and el falcons in the citric acid colour and even with the stripes, it is a bit try-hardish but it still looks ok, and one of them I saw looked fantastic, but this is just WRONG it's like me getting a typhoon and putting a clubsport badge, bodykit and wheels on it.

    Pc Prob

    is there still network traffic when you unplug the internet connection from pc one? it could be that your 2nd pc has a program accessing the internet, could be a legitimate program updating, or it could be some form of spyware
  3. I work for a Brisbane Toyota dealership, so if you want a new toyota pm me and I will get you a great price. Also I can get staff price at the local ford dealer and service center, but I think that may only be for me I dont think I can get that for anyone else. But yeah, anyone after a Toyota pm me, apparently the new Yaris coming out is going to turn the whole car market upside down, plus toyota is developing a new model, a large sedan bigger than the camry to compete with the LM's
  4. I'm also looking for numberplates, as soon as it has been out for a month or two I'm ordering a f6 with 6sp auto, black. I thought of a few decent plates but I dont want to post them for fear of them being taken before I get my car. I'm also selling my ef2 gli for a ef2 xr6 or xr8 that I'm going heavily mod, so any suggestions as to suitable numberplates would be greatly appreciated. BTW im in queensland

    Broadband

    I'm with tpg as well, $49.95/month, 1500Kb download, 256Kb upload, speed is throttled after 20Gb which for me happens about halfway through each month. If you get tpg make sure you pay the extra $70 or whatever it is for a 4-port router instead of the free modem they give you, it is a peice of crap, only usb connectivity and a lot of compatability problems so get the router instead it is quite good
  6. did anyone see a toyota yaris there? I think someone said they were going to have one at the show. apparently they are going to be very popular
  7. I agree with the first part, they do look AUish and HSVish, but maybe its just the pics. They still look better than the XR6T's though IMO. All in all I think they look nice, but I'll be sticking with the old wheels when I get one next year.
  8. This is from someone who hasn't ever driven either, so take my comments with a grain of salt, I would say the GT looks a lot better, but the Typhoon isn't as common as the GT, which is very important to me as I want a car that no one else I know has. I'm currently saving for the F6, and I'm hoping that they don't become as popular as the GT by the time I'm ready to buy one. Also, SO BLOODY MANY XR6's and XR6T's and even XT's put those damn stripes on their cars these days that it isn't a novelty any more, you used to see a falcon with the stripes and you could bet it would be a GT or GTP, but these days I think there are more imitations on the road than the real thing. At least u don't see too many imitation Typhoons
  9. to be honest I prefer the old colour, too much green in this one
  10. searched google for some info on something to do with xr6t cant remember what is was specifically, but I ended up here, found lots of info I was reading the posts for 6 months before I decided to join recently
  11. I was going to say option 3, but given what you said about the condition its in, I would have to say I would personally go option 4. it all depends on how much you value having brand new vs. nearly new, and how much money you have to spend. if you can afford it, I think the bf f6 will be f**king awesome with the 6sp auto, but if cash is tight I would say option 2
  12. car looks/sounds awesome, and I love the stripes I think they really set it off
  13. the tyres on the performance fords and holdens are very expensive especially for the 19' rims. I would hate to have someone at a dodgy dealership go out and do burnouts in mine. apparently they r now flagging falcons that they see at the race tracks or doing burnouts so the dealers don't have to cover them for warranty repairs on the drivetrain and gearbox etc. So if an owner does a burnout in their falcon they may void their warranty if someone from ford sees it, but the dealers themselves are still allowed to race and do burnouts in customer cars??????
  14. I would rather a hotted up f6
