Well put a chip in it then - you can get more than 38 hours for the same price that way.

Well, I reckon the new BF XR6T front bumper has been redesigned to scrape less. That's my feeling after just on 1 month's driving around. If it's true that the suspension is the same as in the BA, then I reckon Ford have subtley raised the underside of the front bumper as part of their redesign of it - maybe by a small amount just so that when you go over speed humps or a particular driveway I have in mind, so that it does not scrape! That's good in my books. I really hated scraping the underside of the front bumper. Of course, it might have something to do with my previous BA suspension being a little worn out or maybe I'm inflating my new tyres higher :tease:

I'm really going to have to buy some felt or some other dark non-reflective material and place in the floor of my dash readout because it just is starting to get dangerous now in trying to read the dash meters when there is strong sunlight reflecting off the floor of the dash onto the clear plastic window of the dash (like the HUD you don't want :pinch: )

Got my first stone chip on the bonnet :spoton: I'm going to sus out that 3M Thick Clear Film real soon that Cro mentioned.

One thing I like about the BF was they illuminated the window switches.

I did not notice any difference in the BF window switch with my BA except it is illuminated

The window controls have been backlit since BA Mkii. I reckon the fabric print in the BF looks more like a snake skin pattern and if anything the BA looked more like a tyre print. I had a look and liked the new front bumper but hated the new fabric print. That combined with the awsome deals they were doing on runout BA's made it a fairley easy decision.

I could swear that the ZF 6 Speed Auto feels different now that I've got over 2000km on the ODO in the BF XR6T. It feels like it is staying in the lower gears longer when I've got it in auto Performance mode as evidenced by the higher rpm whilst driving around town. Could be a product of my running-in regime of driving around in manual Sports Sequential mode and keeping the car on boost above 2000rpm.

It's the 0-200 rating that the gearbox has given you.

As soon as you put it in Perf mode it adds 100 to the base score.

It has learn't you are a leadfoot hoon :spoton::kissmy:

Hey ZAP_F6, do you, or anyone else on this forum, know how to get a readout of the ZF 0-200 rating? That's interesting that it adds 100 to the base score :spoton:

Brake Shudder - no sign of it here with Terri brakes on the BF. And the alloys are still shiny as ever. Clean the XR6T once a week and no black powdery brake residue in sight!
