bigpete23 Member 6 Member For: 15y 7m 13d Posted 02/08/09 07:19 AM Author Share Posted 02/08/09 07:19 AM Ok fella's here are some pics, still love the car to bits, very nice bit of kit. Love the blue fleck in the paint when clean, nice touch.For those who have not read this comparison/review/road test between:Ford G6E TurboJaguar XF 4.2Mercedes E500http://www.wheelsmag.com.au/wheels/site/ar...n&pagenum=1 Makes me smile every time I read it."What it gets down to is this: even with access to large amounts of money, you’d still be wise to choose the XF V8 and save $30,000 over the Merc. Or perhaps opt for performance, and buy the XF SV8 for similar money to the Benz. But the objective reasons not to save a six-figure sum and buy the excellent G6E Turbo are few, and anybody in the market for luxury and performance who ignores this car is crazy."Enjoy the pics.Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get the colour-coded cardigan with yours? Yet to read a bad review on the suckers to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might wait a while for the bowls hat and as for the walking frame I am stil undecided between a frame and a scooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got through tyres fairly quickly, my stockers only last just on 10000kms (yes I was giving it hell, especially after the fitment of the LSD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
