hey guys, managed to take some film of the BA XR Ute on sunday that we saw on the cruise, but cant get it onto the pc... dang... so ill just tell the story
I dont know how much of this will be edited by the admins, but here's my little story anyway
Okay so wer're heading along the hwy from gelong, and out of the corner of my eye i spot a purple ute going along the other side...
brakes on (its wet, abs kicks in), pull a u-turn, and cause its wet wheelspin @ 5000 rpm for about 50 meters - no seriously i was in a hurry
so camera turned on I see:
dual exhaust,
very slick looking "F A L C O N" in the left hand bottom of the back. all the letters a seperate now like the euro cars, rather than a mashed together word like previously
nice Blue Oval Badge in the center top of the back of the tray
missing model signature (two nice holes in the right hand side, level with the "Falcon" badge)
moving along the side. had sports bars, nice alloys
old looking guy with glasses with old lady in the ute (presumed it was wife)
no badges on the side
moving to the front:
white bonnet with buldge - no idea why it was white - presumably a old test mule. it was more gray than white, guessing it hadnt been painted at all
at this point we're approaching a round about, so he's slowing down alot (probably the only reason ive caught up)
he's spotted us pointing a camera at the car at this point looking like - god, its more annoying kids
so were now looking directly at front:
see a white looking metal type radiator which is really visable from the front air dam. i dont know if it was an intercooler. could just be something else...
by this stage were doing about 50 thru the round about and he's passing me now.
so he gets in front(how i dont know) by the time we've gone through the round about hes about 2 car lenghts in front
i floor it. so into first gear she goes... 50 - 60 - 70 - 80 into second - 90 - 100- 110. its now so far in front i cant even make out the type of car it is, just that its purple. seriously, this thing flew. i seen M3's floor it and AMG supercharged floor it, and it carried the same kind of speed.
so at a pretty fast cruise for about 2 mins, coudlnt catch it, and gave up.
theres my story!!
