Default Picked up my XR5T Thrusday 28th April (Pics included)

Guys,

Picked up my Panther Black XR5T on Thursday so I thought I'd put up a few photos. Car is awesome and handles like a dream and plenty of power.

Have done 700km so far, (450 of those down the great ocean road) and absolutely love the car. It's so smooth and sounds great.

Here's a few photos (when I remove some other attachments).

Photo can be found here: http://www.fordxr5turbo.com/forum/index.php?topic=105.0

Cheers,

Steve

The car absolutely loves corners. Wasn't even pushing that hard for most of the trip and nothing came close to keeping up. Even passed a few motorbikes. It is so much more responsive to changes of direction compared to my old EF XR6 and was able to pass most cars in 5th or 6th gear.

Looking forward to doing it again with a few more kms on it so I can really open it up.

Cheers,

Steve
