I can go one better.... I actually had my XBGT coupe on H & A many years ago when Danni Minogue was in the series .... it was such a laugh to watch the look on their faces when I had to do a Burnout with Danni in the car ....she was going off at me because she didn,t think an old FORD could do one .....showed her ..... ...Anyway it was the only time I ever watched the show ......

you'd be forgiven, as they even said XB in the show, with reference to Mad Max Interceptor.

Definately an XA. Could be wrong, but i dont think the XB's came out in that Lime Green colour either ?

Wonder who's car it is and how they feel for it to be referred to incorrectly.
