New owner

[TX Terrie]

Nice to see so many Territory drivers. I am a new owner and thought I'd make myself know as well. Hubby and I love the TX I've just purchased.

My little baby is a TX All Wheel Drive and comes with a few dealer fitted accessories for nicks, fog lights, alloy wheels and tinting. Love it.

:gorgeous:

Welcome aboard TX Terrie,

I see that you've re-phrased that post compared to the one at the other FF.com :yelrotflm

Perhaps you can help me convince all those Terri owners still over there that the most active Territory forum should be here on FF.com.AU

I'm sure you and hubby will love the new car. What colour did you choose?

[TX Terrie]

Hi Rap, thought I'd join two Ford Forums, as I enjoy reading replys and general discussion.

I chose Icon Blue, as I thought this a cool colour, and probably a little more practical out in the drier climate. Came close to choosing the Indiana as you have, but thought it might show a little more dust. My Avatar is a snap of the actual vehicle.

See ya round

Apparently so according to your avatar! Welcome to the forums & hope the car treats you well.

Icon Blue, that's a new colour :updated:

I just checked the Territory website to make sure you had that right. So this colour has replaced Offshore blue. I haven't seen one of these yet.

How about attaching a full size pic of yours for us all to enjoy.

Yes, the Indiana does show the dust and I'd promised myself I wouldn't get a dark colour car this time around :togo:

Icon isn't available till April, you've got one of the very first ones on the road, congrats!

Territory's are great cars, wish I had of bought one instead of the XR.

Eek - not that keen on Icon. Shockwave would've been better. Glad I got my Offshore when I had a chance. Much nicer colour - has a little bit of purple in it that looks great at dusk and in low-light situations.

What model you got Paul? I like the Ghias in Offshore, they look pretty hot.

[TX Terrie]

Well, how they hangin'? Thought I'd be smart and list what I thought was the colour (by going to the website, as I couldn't remember), but was too lazy to go out the the kitchen for the colour chart. It is actually Offshore Blue. Sorry observant little Terry owners, you're correct again.

The site is hard to get a real grasp of the colours, as I have seen a couple on the road and the colours aren't quite the same as on the website.

Hey Rap, dark colours do show the dust a little more, but when clean they shine much, much more! :voldar02:

Anyway a picture for all.

CongratsTerrie.

That colour looks great, suits Ford all the way down to the badge.

It doesn't really matter what colour you get, they all need regular cleaning. I seem to have to clean my Lightening Strike every week, if my wife would stop driving it long enough.

I went for the TS with regular grey lower panels. It breaks up the body so you don't have large slabs of one colour. I still think the mandarin and black look better in single colour though. Icon will also look better as two-tone and Blaze as one colour.

The local school has an XR as their PD car, and the town loves it. I think the staff do as well. I think when it comes up for tender, there will be a bum fight. Apparently purchased for the higher resale. Their previous cars have been Fairmonts.

True ... even with the two-tone white/grey I have ... from a distance it looks OK when dirty ... but the back of it is a different story ... that's where ALL the dirt collects I find ... but when clean (on a bright sunny day) it's literally blinding.

Ford will keep cycling the Terri colours to keep it fresh. Blaze gold was first, next month Icon blue and so on.

I have a Ghia AWD in Winter White. Would love to see a Terri in Phantom - would look great!

I saw a swatch of Icon at the Melbourne Motor Show. I like it more than Offshore...would probably have bought it over the Indiana I got...
