Default Buy The Devil Racer's XR6!

Just had this emailed to me

Matt

After a new car?

Why not take this fantastic opportunity to purchase Marcos's own Ford 'BA' Falcon XR6!

The car is Blueprint in colour, has 37,000KM, tinted windows and is registered in Queensland up until June.

The successful buyer will be flown to Queensland to meet Marcos, get a photo-shoot with the Devil Racer and the XR6 Falcon, as well as be given a few tips on driving it at the V8 SuperSchool!

The 'BA' Falcon XR6 is going for $35,000.00!

For more information, e-mail Graham at graham@mraracing.com.

Have you seen his "company car"? Maybe he doesn't feel the need to drive an 8 around all the time...

Marcos reckons he drives very tame on the road. And why the hell wouldn't you? He gets all of his aggression out on the race track.

You can pick up a turbo for less than that, however you don't get flown to QLD and meet Marcos if you buy one of those :P

Yup I got the same email.

And if it was a turbo, I'm sure they would have said XR6 Turbo, instead of just XR6.

Does he always do this? I swear there was a thread on the other FF (a year ago?) with Marcos doing the same thing.

If it was a turbo it would have an Intercooler in the lower bumper area... Plus I've seen the car before.. When i say standard I mean no leather, premium sound or 18 inch rims, not necessarily talking about Turbo vs. NA.

This one replaced the one he was selling in late 2003... basically the same car, except one was sold by Southside Ford and this one was sold by Bryan Byrt.
