I have Blue Ambition, I like then again it was the only XR5T that Torque Ford had and the price definitely swayed me.
My second choice would have been Panther.

My first choice was tango, but I had to wait four months. Second choice thunder, I only had to wait four weeks. So the colour is thunder.

Could have got a thunder straight away. But really want Blue Ambition. So I waited.....3 months. Didn't regret it. Love that colour.

I had a choice of two colours - white or silver. I called up my partner to seek her advice, and I ended up with silver. I have seen a white one, and it looks the goods. Happy with the silver.

Hopefully Blue Ambition ones like we have will be a rarity considering the colour has been discontinued.

Wanted Panther too long a wait so opted for the first colour that was available with bluetooth - Thunder.

I test drove Sea Grey and liked the look. As it happened the same colour with Bluetooth and Voice was available when I needed to change my lease, so that was it.
I had a black XR6 before and it was a pain to keep clean, Sea Grey hides the grime a little better. Blue Ambition looks good and would probably have been my choice if the SG wasn't available at the time.

Yep we live in Kallangur, I can see North Lakes from my back yard. So far I haven't seen yours around but then again the missus has the car most of the time. We must be in an elite minority to be the only two in the area. : It was at Woolies last night we were doing our groceries, thanks for the comments on how it looks. It's hard to picture it when your behind the wheel, looking at getting the exhaust tips done today.

Our first choice was Thunder, TDCi with leather, bluetooth and sunroof. Missed one in Thunder by an hour so settled for the second choice and my wife's first choice in White which was a 2 month wait .... Thunder would have been 4 months.
Happy with the colour which was delivered the 1st week of January Incidentally we also live in North Lakes so Torque Ford must be selling a few.

I actually got mine from Byrne Ford Kedron. There seems to be quite a few Brisbane Mondeo's here. Maybe we should all go for a cruise one day up Mount Glorious or something.

I need to do something with my exhaust. Needs to be a bit more meaty. I have no expertise in this, can anyone give me some advise. Remember that I have the Zetec, our exhaust is different to the XR5 I assume.

Looks like Ford has dropped Tonic & Blue Ambition from their list and have added Chilli and Morello

Our first choice was Colorado Red, but they had one in Thunder with Bluetooth right there. He offered me a better price to take it...
So we did. |
