Well about a month or two ago I sold the FBT, awesome car, such a head turner, but alas it was time for an upgrade to sometihng a little newer and with all the options I could poke a stick at!

So for the last two months or so I've been putting around in an old EBII Fairmont, nothing flash but being on LPG I caouln't complain about the money I saved in such the short period; hat a painful 8 weeks that was!

Had planned on an xr6/t for about three months before hand n decided it wasnt quite what I was after, they didnt have that special feel to them, just another car.. I started looking at some GT/P's and decided they didn't do it for me, altho certainly sounded awesome just crusing around in, but the lack of urgency wasn't what I was after, again.

Step in, F6 Typhoon, took one for a few drives, was very impressed, didnt quite feel right however, took another one for a drive and it was amazing; the 1st had to have something wrong with it as it just felt **** in comparison, cannot explain it..

So after a few (actually many) phone calls I decided on it and had signed the papers so get it all happening!

Two weeks later I get a call while at work 'Daniel, what time do you finish today?' I mention after they close (thinking I had to sign more crap) then mention I was on lunch, they say 'Well we have something for you, you're FPV is ready for you to pick up!' so they come to my work, pick me up, take me to the dealership, final signature and they give me all the usual FPV bits n pieces and then the best bits, the keys!

Fast forward, two weeks later I'm wrapped with the car, couldn't be happier, it is bloody quick steping from an EB fill in, it gets good fuel economy usualy 12-13L per 100km around town, thrashing around and work n back, it hasnt had any issues and excels in every aspect more than I could of expected!

Slack (for me) to only get some pictures now, I'm always taking pics one place or another, so heres a few of many I took this morn; it looks fairly clean but honestly hadnt been cleaned in over a week, but the clody sky hides that, it looks very metalitc green/brown/purple in sun, AWESOME colour, love it!!

Anyway, I will shut up n get to the pics and stop going on and on.

FYI: ?06 BF Typhoon, Dejavu - 6sp Auto, Leather, Sunroof, 19?s, Electric Pedals, Tint, FPV Sports Wheel, FPV Mats with all the chrome engine bits from Pole Position in the mail!
