This was also due to a misunderstanding with my better half. You see she didn't take to "Phantom" with the same vigor and enthusiasm as I.Then one night recently on my way home from work I stopped to ogle all the XR's awaiting delivery at a local dealers yard (as I quite often did). There was a white XR8 sitting there and I remember thinking "it doesn't look too bad, who cares what it looks like it's what's under the hood that counts".Anyway when I got home and told of my experience she said "your'e not going to get a white one are you. Who's going to want to buy a white sports sedan when you go to sell it? I like the blue one better (Narooma)".Who was I to criticise so next morning, on the phone to the dealer, figuring delivery was still a month or so away they would be able to change the colour.The salesman said no problem we've got plenty of time.About an hour later he rang back to confirm our change of colour was possible, with only one slight snag, Narooma was to be discontinued before our delivery was due (early August).The good news was that he had been offered a swap, a Ute for an XR with another dealer in either Phantom or White. Decisions, decisions, decisions?So I took my wife out for dinner and put he hard word on her "White or Phantom". Needless to say I didn't care which colour she chose 'cause I got my Turbo earlier than expected. Ye Hah.And the rest as they say is history.Sorry to ramble on but I haven't been this excited for years. :D :D :D Big AL Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/4686-white-xr6ts/page/3/#findComment-37357 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then when I went to sign there was a white XR8 with leather seats, and it looked awesome. I hadn't seen an xr in white before, they are not too common which is good. So I changed my mind on the spot. I'm sometimes not too confident with the choice, just looking around at normal white cars, they don't look that good. So I drove back to the dealer to reassure myself that I made the right choice. Hey, it just suits the car I think. I guess I'll have too wait and see (till I get it) I suppose.
