Damn, I've wanted one of those ever since I saw it at our local Target store and sat in it - very comfortable. If I'd known they were going to be selling them that cheap on Saturday, I doubt I woul dhave been able to resist!

If they sell them again for that sort of price, no doubt I'll buy one too.

You lucky ^%$%^# LOL

I hope they will sell them in NZ, I need a new office chair.

FordGirl · 22-05-2005, 01:52 PM

ahahaha that's sweet as. If my current chair wasn't so awesome I'd want one

Thornie · 22-05-2005, 05:42 PM

i was contemplating geting one but looked at my finances at the time and had to say no

LuvinmyEB · 22-05-2005, 05:48 PM

Damn!
I was going to buy one a little while back but they were about $250- :(
Those things are so comfy if I could I'd buy two and put them in the Esky.

:
Me thinks a trip to Target is called for tomorrow. ;)

They often come up at Target but usually at Xmas. I see them from time to time but don't need another chair so tough titty for me. Yes they are often on special too and at our local Target there is a full range of Ford Racing luggage from soft overnight bags to large suitcases. Best to keep an eye 0out for them and hope for a 15/20% sale.
Next time someone sees them on special race home and post it up FAST.

smciner1 · 22-05-2005, 08:29 PM

Went to Target today and they didn't have any in stock. I have to ring them tomororw and they will check to see if they have any in the Warehouse.....

what material is it?

looks kinda nice...and my dad wants his chair back. i stole it and he's using a shit old 1...while im lovin this 1!

whats the normal price of these? and if its heaps, ill have to wait for a special, because if i was gonna spend big big bucks on a chair, it'd be a nice leather high back 1.

like someone else said, next time its on special, LET EVERYONE KNOW ASAP!

also...what functions does the chair itself have? up down im guessing is standard :P

does the back go back when you lean into it and come back automatically etc?

just dont wanna step down from what this chair has

Material / Functions ??? depends if you get the XT model its cloth trim and standart functions the GTP model has full leather, auto option at no charge , premium brakes and sound.

Just Jkn cloth material, normal up down , lean back n relax, but very good been drivin one for about a year now.

lol
thanks mate..i know it may have sounded weird, but without knowing what the exact function is called...its hard to word it...

so this chair has the type of back that will lean back when you lean into it, but automatically comes back to the normal position?

and does anyone know the normal price for 1?

niko · 22-05-2005, 08:44 PM

cArSiK · 22-05-2005, 08:45 PM

TIKFD6 · 22-05-2005, 08:46 PM

Had mine for just over 15 months now, love it.
:P

GTFalcon 351 · 23-05-2005, 02:00 AM

You can lock it so that the chair will not lean back or u can unlock it so it can, it also has a knob that u can adjust the spring tension so it can be easier or harder to make the chair lean back

i believe the fabric is acrylic

i think the RRP is a smidge over $350

so i guess AUII_SE can sit back down and get back to work unless he wants to fork out $350 for it...

I'm shattered I missed out on this

GTFalcon 351 · 23-05-2005, 11:29 AM

the RRP is $350, they had been on special for ~$200 at target for some time and then it was like 30% off on all ford racing gear for satrday only so i copped another 30% off the $200

GTFalcon 351 · 23-05-2005, 11:34 AM

they may still be on the normal special price of around $200

Bossxr8 · 23-05-2005, 12:03 PM

I love mine but have 2 gripes. The side bolsters need to be a little wider, they may provide good support around high speed corners but can be a little restrictive with the slow speeds these chairs get to, and it needs a little more lower back support. Apart from that they are pretty good.

i guess it helps to have a mum working at head office...

I just scored mine for $140ish....and I should have it here by tomorrow. YAY

:

she told me there was 1 in waurn ponds, and 1 right here in hoppers....the 1 in waurn ponds is the 1 i got, and the 1 in hoppers is missing parts. lol

Not to sure how many stores she checked, but those are the only 2 she found

loxxr6 · 23-05-2005, 02:54 PM

I went i to grab one today but on layby and was told that I can't. Because it's clearance stock you have to buy them outright.....

Anyway, I can confirm in Sydney, that Parramatta has none of them and the Liverpool Target has 5 of them.

I was going to call some other stores but because of the no layby policy I won't be.

Here's a couple of numbers for some other stores :

Carlingford - 9873 2244
Blacktown - 9728 2666
Liverpool - 9601 2222

loxxr6 · 23-05-2005, 02:54 PM

Oh and I'm sure they said they were $127 each.

stil $127 up there? hmm...ill have to double check, but my mum did say $149 for mine, and about $140 for her.....

still, $140 is better than the $300+ something they normally go for!
