I had the pleasure of being chaufered around Melbourne and out to the Ford Discovery Centre in Geelong over the 'FPV Open Day' weekend.

I must admit I'm not a big fan of the V8's regardless of brand. I love the noise they make but they just don't do it for me like the Typhoon does.

That being said I was most impressed with the force8, build #1 belonging to one of our members here in Qld.

It was very comfy to ride in and had resonable mumbo. Dare I say, it could do with a blower under the hood to make me consider it as my daily driver. This would surely justify the asking price.

I'm sure it will appeal to those who would normally consider a European car but prefer to support the Aussie brands.

Force 8 #001 is in our car club and on the forums now and again.
Nice.

It is funny reading the places in this thread that there have been 'sightings' because we drove through many of them on our way to the FPV Open Day. :P

Hi Jen

I don't think Stu was talking about himself if you know what I mean.

there's a black force 8 with the plates "Force 888" that I've seen at McInerney Ford in Morley- I think it's Denis McInerney's but not sure. Don't mind it, but wouldn't buy one either
