Hey everyone,
since parting with my trusty Zetec, I've had a new project on the go. I can now introduce you to the new beast. It has almost 3 times the capacity, 3 times the power, 3 inches extra on the rims and uses about 3 times the fuel!!  : 2006 BF Falcon XR8, 6 speed auto with side airbags and reverse sensors... oh and 20" CSA Chrome alloys!! BLING!!

Trade the roof racks in for some blue stripes! LOL
So what's the story? This doesn't look like a company car. No brass tag on the number plate. Secret project on the side? Did you get a discount for taking it with those wheels? ROFL Congrats Matt. Look forward to seeing what "personalisations" you make.

Ha ha the roof racks, bike carrier and rims are all promotional items to show Dealers what they look like fitted to a car. It is a company car, only the Vic cars get brass tags.
I'll actually use the bike carrier, about to buy a new bike so will be very handy. Tyres are 245/30 ZR20 Dunlop SP Maxx Sport from memory, so a damn decent tyre, even though I haven't really tested them out at all. With the ride from 20" rims being a lot harder, I'm not looking to drive it like my Focus, it's more of a relaxed cruiser. I must say the white with chrome rims is pretty striking, even though black would have been awesome.
