hey trendsetters,

firstly alex, dylan, please dont ban me for selling susu, but we had reached our last straw and had been screwed over that one too many times. Basically i know a few of you got wind of the rumour that we had put a deposit down on a MY08 GT-Tuned by STI white wagon, had it locked in eddy ready to go.. however due to the circumstances of my lease, they would not come to the part with the finance... so with a pre approved, lower amount, charlie went in to search for a new car, and was basically told by the dealership that he was too busy to speak to her, and basically had no time to discuss a new car... I got wind of this and several complaints were made.. ( how tough am i) hence we got out money back and went and bout this....











in saying this, feel free to still invite us to shindigs and what not, we will just park in the dark.. ha ha

Hey I really like XR5's. Especially that new front end. 2.5l 5cyl right? Now you can drive it like Jari Matti. Nice car.

Nice car. Shame you had to go to the dark dark side, but there's worse places you could have gone. HAI SPOOP!

Congrats Kurt, thats a really nice car you got there! Lets hope it doesn't give you any issues like the last. And is that a starter button next to the gear shift?

[Xon]

Nice nippy little car you've got yourself there. Seems to be some blue skidmarks over the top though. Maybe some polish will get that out?

tbh mate didnt like them.. few more bells and whistles on this one and a lil more user friendly i think

And is that a starter button next to the gear shift?

certainly is mate, keyless start.. its the ford "power" button.... there is something weird about walking away from a running car, with the keys in your pocket

Yup.

Nice little pocket rocket however. Enjoy.

that's exactly what i was about to say...

the mazda 3 MPS (in many of the car reviews that i've read) always came out on top of the XR5...

having said that;
A ) i haven't read a car review since the release of this new xr5 (looks good)
B ) the ford focus and the mazda 3 have a lot of the same running gear, just like the old laser and 323 did... so i guess it can't be that different : P

either way though, it's a nice looking car and faster than my POS is currently...

any plans for mods in the future??

[Shiv]

Doesn't the MPS have waaay too much power for a FWD setup? Anyways, I would've gotten it in that bright as f**k orange colour

[Soop]

IIRC the XR5t has the same electronic limiting system. Can't say its my cup of tea Kurt. But from all accounts Ford is pretty good with its after sales service.

well we drove the mps and tbh its a bit of a pissing competition as to what is better on the day... this thing has a whole lot of punch, and handles it suprisingly well. not that i have put it too much to the test on the roads, but from what we have done with it. it takes the lot.. and thanks alex, be happy to show it off in the flesh, i just have to get the gist of driving it now haha.. as far as mods... first up im starting with the lighting side of it, HID's interior lighting, shane you know what i mean on that, then who knows.. see how we go..
