They have a silver typhoon in the showroom. It wasn't easy for me to get a test drive because they had to filter out serious buyers from those who aren't. When I went in for a test drive I had to work out the price with them first. They acted as though they sold the car to me even before I got a chance to drive it. It is a hastle for them to let people test drive because they have to get the car out of the showroom. Speak to Rob Alcock from Etheridge Ford in Vermont. He'll book the test drive at there Ringwood showroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a black one on display though. The guy said that they wouldn't have a vehicle registered until 3 weeks and this was 2 weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if they continue to use that car as a demo vehicle in order to get a sale. Did you ask to test drive it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tur Flight 6 Member 471 Member For: 21y 5m 8d Posted 15/12/04 01:36 PM Author Share Posted 15/12/04 01:36 PM Hey all,I test drove a shockwave typhoon today I love the look of the car looks sick with those rims, anyway as we were getting out of the dealer this car stopped and said that is the tuffest thing I have seen on the road, all the attention is great everyone looks. So where driving as I know the saleman he lets me do what I want chirp gears little burn out if 1st, but for some reason it doens not pull like my xr6 turbo does? well it only had 500km on it that might be why, but also there was a wierd vibration as I planted the right foot through 1, 2 and 3 gears sounded like a bearing or something? Has anyone experianced this? or know what it is that's the only thing turning me off from ordering one. Excellent car apart from that shockwave has to be one of the nicest colours it comes in.
