    Talking new car!

    Got my new car 2day... iv ventured outside the holden family for the first time (not 100% by choice). i am now the owner of a BA mkII 6sp manual XR6T. hell stoked, drives like a dream. would have loved a clubby but insurance was $5500 (only $2200 with the XR) and iv got a car thats 4 years newer for the same price. will post pics as soon as i pick her up.

    Very nice car mate. Enjoy it. Post up your fuel consumption figures and all that because i've been thinking of getting an xr6t ute converted to a tray back

    I've got a 6spd in my current ute and i get around 11l/100k combined. Im guessing first week you will be getting around 18l/100k lol. I got like 15-16l/100k first week i had my ute due to it being 1,000,000 times faster than my last car lol. Only prob with it is that its a styleside and its not fast enough lol

    Sweet car mate. Despite the fact that its a Ford, you can't go too far wrong with the BA, so nice choice. Lets see the pics!

    First of all congratulations!
    my parents have a na bf2 xr6 with the 6 speed auto and we get around 13.9L/100km in city driving (only 7000kms on the clock + my heavy right foot). Your figures sound pretty good.
