Well I'm back on the Coast...

I've gotta say, WOW this thing is a missile! I had a couple of test drives but it's not until you're on the open road that you appreciate what a powerful beast this thing is! The acceleration from 100k's is amazing, overtaking is amazing, the push you back in the seat feeling is amazing... :spoton:

The only bit I'm worried about is the fact that I could'nt control myself during the "run in" period because I gave it a hiding from Melbourne to the Gold Coast but hey; I could'nt help myself. Time will tell I guess...

I love everything about the vehicle but feel it lacks a couple of things.

1. Non auto electric windows all round

2. Nowhere to put loose coins, you know, like a coin tray? Anyone tell me where it is?

3. No sunglasses holder.

that's all, not much really in the scheme of things.

For all of you who have been driving these things for years, I'm jealous as hell but glad to finally be in one.

Hopefully a bit of control was excersised in Melbourne , that place is absolutely infested with speed cameras.

Farking everywhere

Don't be afraid to work that new engine. Just don't hold it on high revs for any length of time. You wanna run it in good before you start modding. :bowdown:

Your right Buf Melbourne is stupid with it's cameras and I drive like a pensioner when down there.

Well the day has FINALLY arrived. I fly down to Melbourne tomorrow morning and take delivery of my new xr6t! 2 days driving it back up to the Goldy... Can't wait :beerchug:

Thanks to this forum I've been able to do some reading whilst I've been twiddling my thumbs waiting...

Congratulations mate, fantastic car yeah!

Give us all some details of what you got, colour, options, auto / manual etc.

I've had mine since December 08, now up around 11,000 ks on the clock - I love it, especially the turbo spool.

How did you manage the run in period on the expressway.

hope to hear from ya soon

Mate I finally got some joy from a fellow ( cant' say who or where yet ) but he couldn't believe how ass f%$^ed we got and is really (really) looking after us; needless to say I got to pick everything we wanted. Ended up picking white after seeing how sick INFLYT looks. Hopefully the car will be delivered in two weeks. We are probably going to put 20 x 8.5 Jet League F-35's with the black centres (after looking at hundreds of wheels) and lower it 1 to 2 inches and black the windows out.

I was pretty conservative in the city but the highway was a different story... I got a permit from Vicroads to drive it to QLD therefore no number plates.... Hopefully that will help. :banghead:
