I'm a winner! Though I've forgotten what day the event was on for and it's not on Abby documentation! Also, it's going to be hosted at the airport right? They aren't flying us anywhere?!
Need to see if GTF286 will be attending or if i fly down and back. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

If you weren't an owner that'd warrant a smack down While some may not overlook the grill the interior to me is the classiest Falcon GT interior bar none. And I'd walk through a late model GT to get to one
Pepe got a email too, apparently my timing was a trifle impatient Looks like the ute will get a workout unless I sync up a work trip and a Hertz.

Hopefully someone brings up V8 Supercars and how important it is for us fans for Ford to continue its support and not just on a yearly basis.

When Aust said Burgandy and Ugly he wasn't referring to the car

I actually really like the EL GT. The only problem is it reminds me what could've been if ford had've built GT's for each and every model :(

How else are you gonna get there mate? There is not much public transport to avalon and a taxi will be a fair cost. Maybe for those flying in come via jetstar if they still use avalon...

So the gates open at 8:30, I'm going to try to get there bright and early so if others are there maybe we can get a bunch of forum cars lined up nicely and photographed.

I'll be coming from SA - Adelaide. Interested in seeing how the day pans out. Looking forward to meeting some interstate forum members too, I'm assuming your all as friendly as the SA boys. Cheers
