Greetings folks

Technically I never really went away (OK I've got a subscription to the random fap picture thread and not too much more) but I am finally returning to the fold.

And even better... I've chosen this time to ditch the G-Spec! Might have to update my sig...

I plonked down a deposit on a new XR6T auto lux pack on the weekend. Black, naturally.

Growing family means I need a genuine 5 seater (actually I'll need a 7 seater but that is a whole other conversation) and the Jetta just doesn't cut it in that regard.

Just gotta wait for the focker to get built, looking forward to seeing what the difference between FG and FGII is (no I didn't even drive one! Didn't have time and already knew what I wanted)

Glad to be back :thumbsup:

Hahaha how did I know that was coming!

On the other hand I managed to convince the Minister for Love, Warn & Finance that getting back into a T was the right financial choice by the family. I kid you not. There is a much longer story that goes behind it of course.

Not likely to be a long term proposition though... realistically it is a bit of a hit n run as I bought at Ford employee price, will probably hold it for the requisite 11 months and then buy a CX9. XRs seem to have better resale than the G-spec and even though you do without a few goodies (memory seats/mirrors, auto-dim rear view, and ahem... sunglass holder!) this is a financial decision.

So unfortunately you won't be able to give me back the bowls hat I handed in 19 months ago...

(PS. Anyone actually buy any of the above??!!)
