anybody tried or drives the New Ford ?

Frankyb ??
how’s it compare to the superceded model ?

looks pretty cool
but not many on the road yet

I won’t tease myself until I can get one so I haven’t driven one yet…having said that I absolutely love the look of them. Just have to be patient and maybe in 12 mths I can get an FG XR.

no moolah no talk….hehhe

I have seen a few around the place recently. Lovely looking machines.

I’m looking to update my AU2 ute with the newie – love em!!

That’s good Ditty, then you can tell us what they are like.

Go and test drive one, you’ll love it but may be tempted….lol
I haven’t driven the sedan but I have the ute.
My old girl is 7 years old and has 100,300 up so I’m due for an update and our other Ford (same age) has 160,000 so should be replaced also – We were looking at the Territory Ghia and it’s a nice car but a bit x’ie so the escape may be the pick. The escape is cheaper and has a lot going for it also…!

Franky – won’t be buying anything until around end of November…

I don’t think the wife will let me test drive one mate, as it is I keep pointing out the gt’s in the dealership, I think I’ll wait until I can afford one mate. 100,300 for an AUII is nothing, I have 90,000 on my BA.

I’ve got 149k on my XC, its practically brand new :-D

Franky
No doubt about the mileage at all – Fords like the old holdens just keep going as long as you keep the servicing up to them.

As for being able to afford one – you never know what’s around the corner mate – live as you are entitled – We live by the motto SKI – Spend the Kids Inheritance…lol They don’t like it but we have fun….lol

Mr C
- I had the XC also – loved it – very reliable and a hard worker!

Love your work Ditty!

i’ll wait for second hands to appear

The new fords are starting to grow on me. Saw a new XR6T the other day in silver and it looked nice. Havent seen any of the new FPVs tho. We havent got any of the new XRs at work yet, be nice to see some though.

Yea these days you know if you are gonna get booked on the highway, at least you are getting booked by something that looks the part.

Most people are too busy blowing up at the cops to look at the car :)

lol I’m not speeding, I just look fast!!

“No sir, the light was orange when i went through”!
“I basically stopped at the stop sign”
“My phone is on loadspeaker, thats ok right?”

You hear these everyday.

Speaking of cars – they should ban hyundai vehicles in Brisbane…and a few others as well – why is it that all hyundai drivers (read most Brisbane drivers) brake for 50 meters before indicating and change lanes or turn. Or turn into a right or left turn lane and then indicate.. is it the driving instructors or the care factor of 0 approach?

And don’t start me on the roundabouts ffs – Brisbane would be the worst out of all the states followed by Perth and Adelaide – At least Sydney and Melbourne seem to have their act together with the rule. I saw a woman today sitting at a roundabout waiting for a car on her right which was about 80 metres away…go figure!

Or turn into a right or left turn lane and then indicate.

Australia wide now mate.

Perth and Adelaide – At least Sydney and Melbourne seem to have their act together with the rule.

Before Perth comes Mandurah and Mullumbimby in NSW.

Love the newie franky… fugly colour but nice look…lol

Always thought NSW were on top of road rules…

No Ditty , The best of all are multi lane roundabouts. You just can not convince people that they can not change lanes on a 2 lane roundabout.

A bad day on the golf course is better than no golf at all. :(

No one who ever had a lesson would have a swing like mine

spot on mate – Nicklin Way roundabout at Caloundra – was on my bike and nearly got written off by a fool towing a caravan turning right off the left hand lane…. had no choice than to put my harley into the middle – bit heavy but safely got there.. good thing – cops got him and I was in uniform…lol

You have to watch a cars ‘attitude’ Ditty, most times you can judge what they are doing which is ok for us older blokes but the young ones haven’t got the experience to judge yet.

Had a fatality A few weeks ago on one of our better roundabouts. Obviously the guy was doing something a little wrong. You wouldnt read about it, 1 week later almost to the hour , another rider has come off on the same roundabout. They were both single vehicle incidents too.
