So with recent changes to my family needs, and after only being part of the "red team" for a year, I'm back in a Ford
 well, fpv to be precise.Tomorrow I pick up my 2011 FPV F6 6-speed auto in Vanish, think black or blue depending on the way the light hits it. Option include leather, tint, various protectors and fpv floor mats. Big thanks to DASH GT for helping me out as well as Senior Hua at Bryan Byrt Ford. Pics to come...

Hopefully he lets me drive it off the showroom floor, just for the **** factor  I saw one in "Mystic" paint the other day driving along and damn it looked good, can't wait to get some pics of the vanish paint.

you lived you would be =P I think the biggest issue with the car is going to be tyre wear, 565nm of torque @ 1950rpm onwards makes the traction control work for its money.[CODE][/CODE] Quote:

Well I've finally got her!
No finger prints from DASH even though he threatened haha, however! My charming friend decided that he would do what you didn't and put his mitten right on the bonnet, leaving a nice handprint... he copped one hell of a backhand haha. As requested, photo's from the showroom floor, excuse the quality as I lent my DSLR to a friend for the week. I am now driving a very fast "RUG":     OH and DASH, I can play dirty too!:  Finally getting to drive her away:

Oh goody... Looks good. Did Senior let you drive it out?
They will have to discount the GTE more now, since it has a finger print on it!!
