ok here we go: WRX's, Commodores with cannons, Silvias, Skylines, Pulsars, 300zx's, RX-7's and riced Magna's. But what annoys me most is someone takes a car i.e. the Magna which is by no means a performance car chucks a cannon some clear tail lights and mags and drives the thing like its a race car and reckons its the fastest thing in the world its a 4 door family car, always has been and always will be.

Well it is true both holden and ford have performance counterparts, MItsubishi had the ralliart, toyota had sportivo, dont know if that had more power.

But your original complaint was about riced up standard cars, for which there are plenty of holdens and fords doing the same thing

Honda CRV - always found in the city, have barely any offroad ability, and generally very badly driven
Ricers - are the people who dress up their Lancers, Civics, etc. with neons, shopping lists etc. blind? They look terrible
Toyota Echo/Yaris, Honda Jazz, Mitsubishi Colt (the new one) etc. - they look like a blob on wheels
Daihatsu Charade - looks like a box on wheels

I think I’ll put my flame suit on now. :jab:

I think you’ve missed the point here Kinksta. We are not bagging you personally, yet you seem to be on the defensive. You of all people should notice the amount of inept drivers in BA XR6’s.

Yay, XR6s are shatboxes because every man and his dogs got one, some people really need to get a life, you guys have nothing constructive to say against the XR, the only reason every friging fleet company wants one is because its the best resale Falcon on the market asside from FPV.

The XR6 NA even has a better resale % then the Turbo, and providing they arent bog stock theres nothing ORDINARY about them.. People are always looking at mine, but then again its only a s h i t box taxi.

Also interesting to note that a large percetage of the Telstra Fleet and Government are XR6 Turbos and not XR6 NA's.

but i mean there are way more standard commonbores and toyotas driving around the joint. since they seem to outsell falcon all the time. i think a standard XR6 looks better than an executive, corrolla, or an echo. but i spose im biased :p

I have just tried to figure out what you’ve written here, so here’s some advice as you probably didn’t pay a lot of attention at school.

Spellchecker is your friend.

Go back to the title of the thread and think about it.

Maybe one day I will be able to update my Cortina with an XR6 so then I will be able to have an opinion.

Lots of love :

Your apology is accepted. You’re best to use conventional text here, the Mods don’t look to kindly on SMS and shorthand. Let’s also keep some of the emotion out of the posts and stick to the topic or the thread will end up being closed.

Cheers, Danny

Old rich people (in they're 70's+) annoy me. they drive they're enormous mercedes 20km slower than the speed limit and slow rite down for corners. They are a hazard on the roads. but i'm sure they are lovely people. hahaha

That's right, and this grumpy old bugger is getting rather sick of it, so its in appreciation that people refrain from it, as post will just be deleted in future!

1) NA xr6's BA in blueprint

2) VL commodores

3) Old people in 4wd's who are oblivous to everyone else

4) Lancers with body kits and tacho's with cannon exhuasts and altezza lights- these are now mostly driven by women

5) same as above but excels...again these are driven mostly by chicks these days who dont care about performance

Why are Ford fans sick of seeing XR6's?

I can't stand cars with 'SuperCheap' boltons and not performance gear.

A few reasons I can think of:

1. Everyone else likes them. (which makes them less exclusive)
2. They're jealous for some reason
3. They think a real XR needs to have an earth shattering 7kW over the base model. Otherwise it's not a real XR. To some people, 7kW is the difference between an enthusiasts car and a taxi.
4. Just like being bitter
5. Anti BA/BF crew

Good point, few more:

6. Imposters :alien2:
7. Holden fans

At the end of the day, who cares what they think anyway. If I was worried about what other people thought about my car, I probably wouldn't be able to find anything to drive. There's lots of people out there who dislike cars for some reason, esspecially through the whole Ford/FPV range.

Also a Lancer full kit with huge wing and running on 14" hubcaps wheels.
I once seen a Volvo with 4 spare saver tyres on it.
EB Falcon with GT body kit with 15" rims hubcaps again.
