Now to get it registered...

finally bought an xr6t, I have prev posted about picking one up from adelaide. Drove to adelaide and back from Melbourne overnight and had a ball driving it back! The car is now showing only 34,5xx kms and im totally happy about it. Overall its as I would expect for a car with the low kms.

Im totally amazed about the absolute power delivery and how smooth it is, the car just contiunes to pull its just so fun to drive. This is my first car with aircon, auto, power steering, cruise control, cup holders , so its a massive change for me! just have to work out where im going to fit the surf board now!

Pretty unhappy with the dodgy ford dealers I bought the car from, I might elaborate more on this when (if) I get my transfer papers from them.

The car is 2006 BFII red and has a tow pack and premium sound, im prob going to have some stupid questions so ill apologise in advace

the first is... are the falcon keys water sealed? I have been told they contain a chip in the to enable the immobiliser. I surf a bit and wanted to put the key in my wet suit but im concerned about killing the key any thoughts?

Ill take a better photo when its cleaner during the day light, just thought id add a sh*tty one for the hell of it

Congrats, it looks nice and clean from the pic!

Try folding down the rear seats and shoving the surfboard through the boot?

The remote isnt waterproof, its just a plastic snap kinda joint.

Cheers

lol thx guys, would not be taking the remote in the water, good news they key will be fine though.

I have a pretty big board, a 7'6 which will hopefully fit, I could always ake the wifes car where it would fit easily, but that would give her an excuse to drive the new toy

Seems very low K's for a BA. Very low. I am presuming you had it checked out and checked with RTA for write off info?

Looks nice though and here come the mods! Enjoy LOL.

[oldskool]

its a BF, got all the usual stolen, finance written off info, money very well spent!

in terms of mods, geez im not sure as of yet, its been pretty wet and I want to spend some time getting used to the car, so im taking it pretty easy havent even taken traction control off for a proper play yet!

Very nice

If I got a key cut without a chip in it, would it still open the boot?
