Is it the new model??? Of my 93' F150 Lightning......in dec 2011.

[2011G6E]

"It's a what?" That would probably be the commonest one if they can't see it. If they can, they comment on the nice colour (Edge).

I've given up on carefully explaining what it is, and now simply answer "We drive a Fairmont G6E"...and people immediately know what you mean when you say "Fairmont".

[HULK EF]

'BF MK11 XR6 Turbo. - "painted in Breeze"

-Is that a custom colour?
-Have you had the car resprayed?
- i like that colour!
-What time's she do?
-are you a copper?

[falconnut]

Everybody i knew, bumped into and talked to had this to say

"Its Nice"
"Goes well"
"Man this flys"
"Quiet and comfortable"
"The most reliable and economical Falcon ever"

Only thing they dont like is the stock speakers which are blown, getting them done soon.

[XR Davo]

"That's a great colour"

My seduce FG XR6

[Vincenzo]

2001 AU 111 XR6 manual

Recently completed putting a set of Pacey 4480's, 100 cell cat and a Redback 2.5" zorst.

20 year old daughter giggles delightfully as I push hard through the first three gears down the highway.

"Oh Dad I'm so glad you are leaving me the XR6 - when do you expect to die?"

And today

"Love the sound of your car would you accept $11,000?"
No worries - come and see me when you have the money

When I was filling up my wifes 38 Standard, some crusty old guy was commening on how smooth it idled, (I thinking he must have heard it before I shut it down) said it idles ok but has a slight miss under load, his reply was well it sounds fine now. what he was comenting on was the thermo fan that runs for a few minuets after it shuts down

the same old guy told me he lost his virgnity in the back of one of these, maybe its the same car. needless to say the wife and I havent made starfish in it yet

[galaxy xr8]

People often tell me,

That is one nice looking Falcon, what model is that again ?, I then reply with a smile and say,

It is a AU Falcon....

[stevanford]

Had family friends come over with their kid when I got my G6ET. Kid said it was nice but Holdens were better. Then i took him for a drive. He came back saying he doesn't like Holdens anymore.

When I was saving to get my G6ET, my cousin would always say why do you want one of those, a SS is faster etc etc. When I got it I took him on a drive and planted it off the line. I then said to him "you know this is faster than a SS" and he said "I know now".

[4vdean]

Some guy walking behind my car in a car park as i was parking said nice sound, even stopped and talked for a minute, and that was with a standard system, I thought he was being sarcastic but he was serious..................

[Bare.Foot]

I use the XM ute a fair bit, and got the comment whilst unloading at the local tip:

"Bloody sacrilege bringing that to the dump!"

[hiper]

Bionic BF XR8

taken a few friends for a spin and they've all said that they never liked fords, prefer holdens, but they like my car
(combination of starter button, full leather and V8)

my ex loved the starter button.. went crazy every time i let her push it to start the car

had a guy comment that the blue interior lights were great. at first he thought it was a tint

had a few comments saying the wheels look great (dark argents)

[westoftown]

The EF: "you bought a falcon? eww"
The XD: "what the **** is that????"
The EB: "you bought a wagon? eww"

sigh.

[blue sleeper]

Well not much except, it's faster then mine...

Plus a few sounds from car alarms....

And yes I've had it sound tested at the pits... They just tested the wrong revs....

[VioletGT]

I look crazy. No one talks to me.

[scottyg938]

used to get a lot of variations of
Holy ****** that thing's quick / Wow I didn't expect that!
Back when I had my EF XR6 Turbo

Now I get
that's soo clean / sounds nice
in my BA XR8

[hawker]

More a story. Never really had many people comment on the car. Apart from the Windscreen O'Brien guy asking me how the Turbo goes. Anyway...

I was driving into Canberra in my Territory Turbo Ghia one day, had a work colleague with me, we were heading to a party. We came up to a round-about, and next to me was an 80's Commodore. I think maybe a VL, not so good on my earlier Commodore's. Anyway, a young girl was driving, and a guy was in the passenger seat and a couple of young guys in the back, and they all started going 'Gun it man woo hoo' at me. Although I honestly wasn't even trying, I left them for dead - mind you, they were hardly moving and I heard from my passenger:

"Does this happen all the time?"
Me: "No, that's a first".

I don't think he believed me. Due to a couple of red lights, they caught up to me a couple more times, and every time pretty much did what they did above...

[-RADICAL-POSTURE-]

Ex ambo f100,
is that an old ambulance ?....... Yes.
Did somebody die in it ?......... Ummm yes I suppose they probably did.
Is it haunted ? ..................... Yes it's possessed.

FG xr6t 50th,
That thing is way to posh for a scum bag like you.( from jealous mates )

[ford lover]

Red pepper xb coupe.

A bogan said,thats a nice looking car.....for a Ford.

[jmak44]

78' Falcon 500 XC Sedan
- Are you sure you can drive this on your p's?
- My dad had one like this?
- Is this your dad's car ?
- Where can i get one?
- Why are you driving a old car for?

[mik]

the only comments i get about my au are about the exhaust note, i`ve had complete strangers come up and say they like the note, they see the xr6 on the gaurd and ask if it`s an 8 or not , but it`s a standard vct with a home built exhaust.

[dylby1]

even though mines had a grey front bumper and bonnet for about a year now, i fairly regularly get
"man thats nice. love the colour, itll look mean/tough/mint painted"
also get
"Awesome soundsystem dude, heard you coming for ages before i saw you"
ive only had my exhaust on for about a week and have already gotten heaps of compliments on its note, and the look of the twin chrome tips

[MercuryT]

"That car sounds mad!" (or wicked/sweet etc etc and similar adolescent language from 12 year olds in groups with hat backwards and skateboards....ha ha)

BA Turbo with (basically) no exhaust.

[bossgtp]

Pulled into a caltex servo the other day in the FG GT and as I was walking in a guy walking out said now why couldn't that have a Holden badge on it. I said it can just buy it and replaces the badges no one will ever know.

Its one of those things isnt it, if you have to explain it they wouldnt understand

[Elks]

I was in the FG a few weeks ago, washed & shiny & looking good. I stopped to get a pizza and parked right outside the shop. The owner of the shop, a rich old italian whom I've known for years walked out and asked a few questions about the car, then finally how much it was, I told him, he says "wow that's not much for a BMW".

[davefromperth]

Mostly get told by family & friends that its a huge difference from the last vehicle, which is true since I had a 1993 Nissan Terrano that had a 5" lift in it and now have a BF XR6

[zdcol71]

Told it before but my ex wife many years ago,before we were married, told me it was her, or the "pimp mobile" I drove at the time!! (My first ZD Fairlane)
