Momo gear was an option on any falcon, not just XR's. My AU2 forte (ex Ford exec) came with Tickford gear, including Momo wheel and auto shifter.
Nice pickup. So does this mean you get the old car?

Monsoon blue? Or galaxy blue - probably galaxy as I don't think they did Monsoon on series 1.

Wouldn't be Monsoon for a series 1, I'd say Galaxy blue.

no we also have a 05 astra as well but its auto so ill be driving the xr8 on my learners cos its manual and when i get my p's ill by my own car then more than likely will be a xr6 ute or a ute of some description and no i cant drive the xr8 on my p's unless i get a exemption notice or something from the police to say i need a vehicle with extra power for my job(which is apprentice diesel mechanic)but id have a lot of trouble organizing that and im not even sure if you can still do that
