Weren't there V4's in some of the old Cortinas and Capris in Europe? I think i remember reading that somewhere...

My favourite was hearing a guy try to pick up a chick by saying "Yeah, I drive an FPV" and her going "That's nice, I drive an E55 AMG"

Doesn't help the people that don't know much about cars with every second XR6 owner putting mockup GT/GTP stripes on there car...YUK..!!!

You think that is bad, I had an BA XR8 in the panel shop,, nearly every driver wanted to know what number cab it was going to be.. I felt terrible for the owner, blokes that drive BA's all day everyday were classing his 30k XR as the same as the 14k fleet XT's we buy..

Even when i pointed out the differences they still didn't get it :(

But no since buying the falcon you know what the main question that I have got from people who see the car Is it an XR6 Turbo?

No an XR6 has the badges that say its an XR6 and the Turbo has the the writing on the boot under the badge.
do anyone think this is a strange occurence dont people have any clue.

I would first say - that's a great ride and then ask what are you doing to keep it looking it's best.

True though that many have no idea

People ask me, "Is it a V8 or a V6?" Then i tell them its a straight 6 Turbo. Some people just dont have a clue.
