My dealer is now saying they "may" know something by Friday. Whether that's a delivery date or a date to get a delivery date who knows.
Some good news though, dealer is going to look after me with a loan car so at least I have something to get me round while I wait. |

That G6E in Bronze look’s great, only the rim’s let it down in my book’s.

Seeing as they build more white cars then any any other the chances are greater. Lightning strike is the next common colour.

Went in to my Ford dealer today to find out if they have my allocation yet on my XR8. Got the usual speel, still no response from Ford on allocations ,said the ford rep was there yesterday,still no info, sales manager said they can't even get allocations on the rest of falcon range.!!! Also said they had 11 orders for xr8 and not taking any more deposits as they reckon they won't fill the orders they have. No wonder we don't see many new Falcons on the road, probably crunching the numbers so they can shut the gates early?

Update -Sales manager rang this morning with good news, allocations finally came in this morning. Scored a June / July build on my XR8, they got 9 allocations all up which they were very happy with, I can stop stressing out now that I scored one ,very happy that I will get one of the last Ford v8s

I saw a Kinetic next to it, and I think the Smoke is the better looker. It is darker than I anticipated, a good in between of my wife's Territory in Mercury Silver and my BF in Ego. With a dark tint, I think it'll look tits! The auto makes it a great cruiser, but the sequential sure gave me some smiles last night when I took her for a belt.

Sorry, didn't want to be a forum hog! Some pics I took last night. Getting the tint, Opti Coat and Opti Guard on Monday, so I'll take some better shots after that. Now that I have it, when can I do a track day or take it somewhere for a bit of fun? I saw there was a cruise to Hinze Dam, may have to tag along.

My dealer rang me today to tell me my September 2014 ordered Smoke manual XR8 now has been allocated a build number and scheduled to be built in April. He mentioned 2 things of note, 1 due to the xmas/new year shut down, Ford were 2 weeks behind where they should be and 2 he has taken deposits on 15 Mustangs.

Ballsy, but I'm with you, it should look good. But these renditions tend to look nothing like the actual colour. Have ordered an XR8 in kinetic but this could tempt me to change.

Lock nuts were used on my BF MkII, swapped them over last night in the rain as they don't come on the car at all.

I noticed Ford accidentally put a Falcon FG-X ute in the background of the ad for free loan can during servicing:
