Guest KrpXR6 Guests Posted 04/02/03 11:38 PM Share Posted 04/02/03 11:38 PM Hey guys,I got the official word from Ford today... I can't drive the XR6T on my P's... legally. I've had too many worries with cops so I'm not going to risk it. Give me 12 months and I'll be cruisin round with you guys!Good Luck daninme! Just take it easy on the roads. I'm still going to remain a member of this forum so that I can be fully up to date when I buy my XR6T.Thanks for the help.Kirk Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/819-xr6-turbo-on-p-plates/page/2/#findComment-8670 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JESMAL Guests Posted 05/02/03 01:17 AM Share Posted 05/02/03 01:17 AM Screw it mate, in 12 months, you can go and get the GTP instead :D Just kidding, its good to know that you've checked with the authorities coz it'd suck big time if you bought the XR6T and later realise that you've got to give it up.

That must suck in Vic being on P's then.I'm 99% sure that here in SA there are no restrictions on what cars P platers can drive. Also, I noticed Kirk that you say you're 20 and on your P's. How long do you have to have your P's for? Here in SA you have them until you turn 19, or if you get your license after your 18th bday, you have them for 12 months.Kirk:I reckon it would be a very good idea to talk with a Ford dealer and find out how far in advance you would have to order to get an XR6T just after your birthday. Would be a real bummer to turn 21, go in to order one, only to find out you wouldn't get it for another 6 months or so!

Stress less! My mate is 18 and has a VU SS ute. He has taken all the badges off it and never been done. I got other mates with done up VL turbo's and done up VR 5 liter Holdens, and never been done. I say, get the car, and take off the turbo badge (wolf in sheeps clothing). Even if you did get pulled over, no cop will ever check under the hood unless he/she is a real such and such...

Also was the only place in Australia until a couple of years back where there were no capacity restrictions on what L/P-plate motorcyclists could ride...imagine an R1 with P-plates on the back...would be what's known as a Temporary Territorian. Now have 150kW/tonne restrictions on bikes. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/819-xr6-turbo-on-p-plates/page/2/#findComment-8927 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't doing this cause a problem with insurance though?

Do you mean to tell me that an insurance company would insure someone to drive a vehicle that they can't legally drive?!?! I find this hard to believe.And even if they did, I wouldn't be surprised if they used it as an excuse not to honour a claim in the event of an accident.

cdm Member 886 Member For: 22y 6m 7d Posted 09/02/03 12:39 AM Share Posted 09/02/03 12:39 AM Look. I am twenty, I have rang several companies about insuring an XR6T and no one has mentioned any problems. The quote I got from Ford Insure was $3000. Look at all the P platers with done up Skylines etc..
