PS. If only some the ignorant ones sat in moded phoon or even a stock phoon for that matter.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the performance figures released from Expensive Daewoo it is going to be a very worthy contender.. Hope it makes Ford pull there heads in and do something with the 8 then unleash the 6.....Time will tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HSV guys with their noses in the air saying ''mate lets do the deal first and then you can test drive the car'' I laughed at them reminding them I had bought an SS and a Senator from them but they thought their cars were too precious and weren't ready for an enthusiastic test drive so drove to Ford and test drove a Phoon 'wow' then made an order.Maybe I should Thank the HSV boys because that was the best thing they could've done for me. Thanks to them I have a much better car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
