Chris, can we activate the facebook page and make it accessible to club members (sign in passwords etc)?

[data_mine]

It's a "closed" group, so membership is only granted once approved.
There's myself, Marty and Karen in the admin list.

Looking forward to this one again. I went to your club web site & can only find the 2012 entry form at the moment. But I'm sure the new one will be up soon.

See you guys soon

[data_mine]

The new one has been up for a while now.

Oh ok, my bad, I clicked on the event link on the website & it took me to the 2012 one, but all good, I'll download the new one & distribute amongst the club shortly. Such a great show this one.

[genebaby]

Yes, the 2013 events have not been posted up yet.

Hi Guys,
I am pretty new to car shows and have never attended one as an entrant.
Can anyone give me some pointers please
I have a 09 FG XR6 Ute but i am in the middle of a Turbo Conversion so by the time the show is on it will have a 2011 XR6 Turbo engine with 5000kms on the clock.
I Would like to come to the all ford day with my family and have some fun just not to sure how to go about it.

Thanks in advance

[data_mine]

There's nothing much to it.

- Fill out the entry form getting it back to us ASAP.
- Bring your car, making sure it's clean and shiny inside and out
- CAFD is a static event (no driving events like say Summernats), nor a 'concourse' event where absolute perfection is required.
- During the event judges walk around judging all the vehicles that meet the categories (e.g. you could meet 'Best FG XR', 'Best Ute', 'Best Stereo', as well as the sponsor categories, 'Best Engine Bay', 'Best Paint' 'Best Interior' etc..) for things like paint, body, interior, mechanical condition, engine bay.
- There will of course be a lot of other entrants and members of the public that will have a similar interest in owning and modifying Fords to talk to/see.
- At the end of the day trophies will be awarded.

Then us organisers get to start planning for it all over again.

[SLYXT]

Sounds great!
Thank you for your prompt reply. I Will try and get my entry form filled in today and get it back to you.
Cheers.

Anyone know of a club I can show the Fairlane with? Or even if you guys (and girls) will take me on board for the show??

[data_mine]

You don't need to be with a club, we'll have many non-club entries.

I know you won't be the only silver AU 'lane there.

Who else will have a silver Lane there Chris?

Tony, why don't you do what you do what you did a couple of years ago with the Sydney AFD and organise a few AFF entrants. You could then show as Australian Ford Forums club. I will start a thread if you need some assistance?

Cheers
Stu

[data_mine]

a mate of mine has one. then there's yours if you forget the 'LTD' bit.

[XRGhia]

If you could Stu, that would be great thanks.

Just need to set up a meet point not far from the grounds...

[SLYXT]

Cheers

Sure. You can fax it to my work. Please just make sure that you put a covering page clearly marked ATT Stuart.

Also, please PM me when you have sent it, so I remember to check the fax machine - 02 6229 8077.

Cheers
Stu

[SLYXT]

Thanks is Stu. I will fax it in the morning from work.

[Quasi]

Entry is in, and PM sent to auIILTD.

I've registered both cars for the show. Entry form and cheque posted.

[XR6TOY]

Just wanted to let you guys know that the FTF Car Club of NSW will be attending again. Had such a great time last year. We will bring all the entry forms & payment on the day. When it get's a little closer to the day I will let you know how many cars are attending. When would you like to know by, is there anything else you require from us.

Kind Regards,

Adam Johnson
Events Officer
FTF Car Club of NSW

If you'd like a club space, numbers ASAP allows us to allocate you a location.

And we'd REALLY prefer you pre-enter, makes on the day easier for everyone.

This is a good car show, however I do have one question/critisism.

Is there going to be a larger variety (trophy wise) of catogories this year?
Last year there seemed to be a hell of a lot ''plastic bumper'' awards & only minimal amount to other models.
E.G best XW/XY as compaired to best BA, best BAGT, Best BAGTP,
best BAXR6, best BAXR8, best BA ute, etc etc.

Apart from that all good.

Cheers
Todd.

[data_mine]

Trophy categories were (and are already for this year) set based off attendance from previous years. Bigger attendance in a group get more categories. And we get more Falcons than anything else (by a long way), and indeed more of the newer models than the older.

And you exaggerate a little.
We've got (for the B series you highlighted)
BA/F, BA/F XR, BA/F FPV (3 not the 6+ you say)

there's also
- Best Ute (open to all models)
- Best non-FPV GT (for the non-plastics)

[Bucknaked]

Chris, can you allocate a small area for the XR5/RS guys. Last year I think there's were 6-8. I know there's a couple coming, maybe more, maybe less than last year. If we can put aside a place if thats possible, that would be great. Last year we just slotted them in wherever. In the end it was in front of McGraths. I think maybe it was not a good thing for McGraths.

Anyway, if at all possible.

Yes I did exaggerate, but I think my point is a valid one.
If you build it they will come!
Trophies aren't expensive these days, but if you segregate people, you'll lose people. Bad news travels faster than good news.

We bought down 20 odd cars last year, some of them concorse winners!
Not even a look in!
This event will grow, but you need to grow with it!

Just my 2c worth.
Either way we'll be comming down again to lend our support.

Regards
Todd.
