Goose 00-XRG / 006-FPV Donating Members 530 Member For: 22y 7m 2d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane, QLD Posted 16/12/07 07:42 AM Share Posted 16/12/07 07:42 AM Allo Kids,Well I can't believe it's already been 5 years since I got my XR6T and joined up on the forum. The lease on the XR has now expired so I've opted for a bit of an upgrade.Did all the paperwork yesterday and I'm now the proud but nervous owner of a BF II F6 Typhoon.Details: Ego, ZF Auto, std 19's, Leather and floormats.Just got a few more sleepless nights until I go pick her up mid-week.I think it'll be a sad day handing over the keys to the old XR. We've had our ups and downs, but today as I took her for one last sunday drive I think all was forgiven.Catchya's round...Adam Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/40628-5yrs-down-the-road/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
