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.

1. young people who own boxes, throw mags and a loud exhaust and think they are tough.
2. taxis 3. the people who drive 20/30km below the speed limit and sway side to side all over the road and dont know theyre doing it, you bastards!!

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

The BA N/A XR6 is not an enthusiasts car and never was. Sadly, in my opinion, they bring the whole image of XR’s down. I think I’ll put my flame suit on now. :jab: Cheers, Danny

well is an XR6 N/A a bad choice of car for a 19 year old on his p plates??? i could have got a XR6T of GT and not be insured. yea good on ya fellas. maybe i should have got a ricer. obviously u guys aint tru to the blue oval.....plus anyone who bags BMW and Mercs are absolute ****stains. they kane the majority of fords (im talking the recent models).
but commonbores with stockies on the back, cat back exhaust (or cannon), huge sound system, no sound proofing, windows down, peeping ova the steering wheel, gay!

yea, i got defensive. but u wood to if sumone was bagging your car. i rememba a few days ago i guy in a XR6 N/A pulled up next to me at the lights wanted to have a drag. its funny wot the few mods to must car did. hehe, but maybe you should refrain wot you guys are saying. we are sick of seeing standard N/A XR6's. hows that Full Noise???
i also cant stand taxi's, bus's, and semi trailers. they all seem to be the only ones on the road (in their minds)....

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

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

Why are Ford fans sick of seeing XR6's?
I can't stand cars with 'SuperCheap' boltons and not performance gear.

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 Quote:
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. |

I don't like seeing cars like this one VT with full body kit and 15" hubcaps no it. 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. Chev badged Holden's.
