The current ones are so hard to use, I mean, there's probably too many choices there as it is for poor old jeff Lumpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the BA II came out and the teething problems were still not sorted to my satisfaction (yeah, I'm a fussy bugger) I decided to just build up an XF ute with all the gear out of the Fairlane - they're both still sitting in the shed - I'm just having too much fun driving the T3 and I'm not really missing the turbo rush at all - yet - I'll get onto it one day. I still have the Capri to do up ... and the LTD needs some TLC as well ... oh, and then there's the Beetle waiting to be done as well. Seems like the Escort is going to have to wait a while for it's new dash and door trims ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obi Member 150 Member For: 18y 10m 23d Location: Qld Posted 05/10/06 11:14 PM Share Posted 05/10/06 11:14 PM I just happened to visit Surfside Ford on the Goldcoast - they've got one XR6 Turbo left - November build which I assume means a December arrival. They said after that there will be a 3 month waiting list. I wasn't planning to put any money down until December so looks like I'll have to wait until March next year before I get one.←Have you tried Sunshine Ford, they had a few the last time I went past, includind a heap of Tornado's.

obi Member 150 Member For: 18y 10m 23d Location: Qld Posted 05/10/06 11:17 PM Share Posted 05/10/06 11:17 PM Mine is due on 29th October but it was ordered about a month ago. I can't wait and will keep reading everything written until I get it. I'm only hoping the clip thing won't delay delivery. Another guy at work was supposed to pick up a Ghia on Tuesday but that has been put until next Thursday because of the clip recall.Thanks for setting up this site I can't get enough XR6T talk.←What's this Clip thing !
