i had my drive day today, and was very impressed with the range, particualy how we stack up against a commodore. In every test we did the falcon sedans and utes out breaked, handled and controlled the omega.
The Sports Eurp pack for $250 is great value

How bout telling ppl what area your from and maybe someone can tell you if they've seen one at a dealership.

many dealers have still got BA mkII's in stock !!.A Sydney dealer is offering a FREE brand new Ford Fiesta on the road if you buy a BAII XR8 (albeit at full freight). Car for the missus with your XR8 , good novel way of moving this old stock actually as many dont look deep into these things .

Any Melbourne dealers have a brand new BAII XR8 with manual transmission they want to get rid off? I would seriously consider one if the price was right.

Hey RATT, do the Ford dealers have a database which shows what models and stocks are being held by all of the Ford dealers?

it was dale ford in NSW . Only a cheap flight up , you and the missus drive home

The catch is the XR8's were full BAII onroad RRP (~$55/56k ),now i have seen BAII on the road for under $40k and a Fiesta is ~$15k so all that glitters is not gold ! Plus now that the BFII pricing has been slashed in line with VE down to $45k , they would want to move these things ASAP !

prdreilly · 16-10-2006, 12:10 PM

Hi RATT, was looking at BFII's and noted some XT's had black headlights and others seem to have Chrome (silver) headlight bezel's. Couldn't seem to be able to distingish which models have which, can you shed any light on the matter?

XR8 Uterous · 14-10-2006, 07:56 PM

There is a MKII demo car at my local dealership, Fairmont ghia, ego in colour, very, very nice car.

Smoked · 14-10-2006, 09:23 PM

Do you intend on buying one or are you just browsing?

Im sure the dealers have them, your just mising them.

GREGXR8 · 14-10-2006, 09:25 PM

i was looking at a mk11 rtv last saturday at sam gould ford lillydale

falconlover · 14-10-2006, 09:26 PM

yes I like it too very nice upgrade
I work behind the broady plant and I travel the same routes that they road test and take deliveries out on. (wanna see one sit on barry or somerton rd at the bulla end)
Seen prob over 30+ on road all different models for over a month now running trade plates and last week heaps of trucks loaded with various models going out the gate

I got pics of a bf ghia on the road a few weeks ago but just crappy phone pics as I was following it

falconlover · 14-10-2006, 10:09 PM

Has anyone gone to the dealer to take pics of it or is there anyone who is getting one if so some pics would be nice like taking the picture in the flesh.

14-10-2006, 11:06 PM

I have some. Pics up tommorow.

v8falconsrule · 15-10-2006, 08:34 AM

i work at my local ford dealership and we have 4 or so in stock, but are not allowed to put them on the lot till the 26th of this month. the ones we have are advanced orders so that we have some demo stock to display when they are oficially 'on sale'...strangly though just this week we sold an rtv to a qld gov dept, will be a week or so before they take delivery though.

falconlover · 15-10-2006, 10:08 AM

Thanks RATT can't wait to see them! Cheers.

Smoke Pursuit · 15-10-2006, 10:11 AM

Southside Ford at the Gabba has a White XT on the lot, they also have a BFII Fairmont Ghia in Lightning Strike Registered, which id say is someones drive car.

I also seen a BFII Turbo ute in the new orange yesturday on the road.

Most dealers won't put them out because they don't want drop in customers to see them, they have to sell alot of BAII and BFs before they can focus on BFII.

If you really want to see one go to one of them on a weekday and ask, im sure one of the salesmen will happily escort you to the holding yard to view a few.

i recently attended the drive day for the mkII and they are an improvment on the mkI also i had the misfortune to drive a omega while i was there and found out that it takes less time to get to 80 in a gas fairmont than the com. however the new fairmont ghia is an orgasm on wheels particualy in the V8 version

Yes indeed. Here is a clip of the said controled drag race here.

falconlover · 15-10-2006, 11:25 AM

Swoop could you post the pics form your camera on this thread. Thanks

sorry falconlover I dont have a pc link for my phone.

falconlover · 15-10-2006, 11:54 AM

Oh ok thanks anyway.

falconlover · 15-10-2006, 12:00 PM

Are the bf mk II's avaible for a test drive?

15-10-2006, 12:20 PM

Here are a few pics from the drive day and an XT in our showroom:

Smoke Pursuit · 15-10-2006, 12:34 PM

Whys the XT got the alloys?

Is it a V8 or something?

15-10-2006, 12:38 PM

XT int he showroom has Futura alloys to make it look better.

In the clip the XT has the "Euro Sports Pack". ie: 17inch alloys, sports suspension, 6spd auto and DSC.

The idea behind the drag race was to accelerate to a certain speed, in this case being 70km/h and then hit the brakes hard. Omega took longest to do this.

05MkIIFutura · 15-10-2006, 01:43 PM

What was the 4th car?? (Between the Omega and the Falcon Ute)
