Thanks guys. I really miss having the XF, but Perth is such a lovely city with a fantastic public transport system that I almost don't need a car.

The local Chrysler dealer has a black SRT-6 on the lot getting older by the day. Have sold my house in the UK and should have the proceeds converted to AUD in a few weeks, so I might make him an offer. The 300Cs are going like hot cakes over here and they are 40,000 AUD cheaper than the SRT-6 (list).

I even have a driving license to drive medium size lorries due to a misread of my UK license by the clerk in the Licensing Centre.

I will be over in Melbourne for a month in April/May and would be happy to meet any XF owners one evening.
