'The' GT is back!

[Discovery]

For those of you who may have missed it as it did the rounds of the country.. Fords' GT is back on display at the Ford Discovery Centre from this afternoon (Thursday16th June, 2005) until September. This will be your last chance to see this awesome piece of machinery. Well worth a visit.

The Ford Discovery Centre is located on the corner of Gheringhap & Brougham Streets, Geelong, Victoria. Open daily, excluding Tuesdays, 10am-5pm.

Sorry, I don't know how to add photos, so here's a link:

Ya Wally Wayne :

He he, learn how to click on links matey. :hihi:

It's heading off in September. This must be the GT with the highest mileage on it... without actually showing mileage on it. It's travelled a loooong way.

For those of you (like Wayne) who don't know how to click on links, it's 'THE' GT (new GT 40)

Is there a chance you can hold its departure off untill early october?

I might actually get a chance to see it then :S

Ha ha, believe me BlueRaven.. i'll be doing all I can to block its exit path!

Don't know how i'll go though, it's due to leave in September :

It's the kind of car that all the staff stop to look at every day they come in... you can't simply walk past this one!

[M&Ms]

Do they offer test drives?

Do you mean the blue writing with the line under it?

ha ha, ok ok. back up people..

No I haven't seen Ford sell any of those GT's.

[TURBOTAXI]

Will these be a factory item for sale in Aust?

[b2tf]

Any chance we can get it up to Wagga in October? :

Who do we have to bribe?

[Discovery]

To answer your questions:

Test drives? Unfortunately, no.. Though if you get the opportunity to hear this thing started up, i's worth hanging around for. It purrs like a puma.

Will these be a factory item for sale in Australia? Again, unfortunately, no. The limited run they are producing are selling very well in the States. If you would like one, pop your name down with a US dealer, or contact Ford US. The $170 odd thousand dollar USD price tag... plus shipping etc etc may be a little hard on the wallet though. This one is just here for a promotional stint.

Any chance of getting it to Wagga in October? Again, sadly probably no. It will be gone by then. I'd LOVE to drive it up there for you though it:

Who do we have to bribe? Me of course lol! Nah, just joking. :hihi:

I checked it out closely again before I left tonight. I think red is definately my colour :hihi:

[b2tf]

Hehe ah well. On a serious note, you have email re the AFD.

[Jaeger]

Sweet Machine, If i wasn't so far away I'd come in for a look.

Any chance of some pics??

Ha ha, sorry. I just walked past and had another 'run the hand ligtly along the lines' session. It's sooo nice!

As for pics, I haven't got any of it in the Centre and don't have my camera with me today.

You can find specs and info on the car at www.ford.com Follow the link to Ford, then to the car specs etc from the home page. There is also a shot of the car as a screensaver/wallpaper download on the FPV site, parked next to an Aussie GT (BA).

[EXECJIM]

Hi Flic, and other good cars worth looking at there

Jim

[zetec]

Did someone say pics?

[Jaeger]

I love that car, I still watch the video of Top Gear test driving it every now and then.
The guy on that show couldn't stop gushing about how great it was.

Zetec, I would be smiling if was sitting in the drivers seat of that beauty.

[Psycho Chicken]

Alright, where are the photos of the burnouts out the back, don't tell me there aren't any!

[PULLY6]

Oh. Your. God. Damn she's fine.

I love the Black Pursuit in the background of the second pic, damn!

[zetec]

Smiling you want now? Might chuck in a few more then to make the rest of us smile









I love that last one. This car has GOD status in my books.

[Discovery]

Ha ha, yes, execjim, there's some mighty fine other cars there too... a black Lincoln springs to mind.. :evil3:

Cool pics zetec. Did you just sit in it? I was lucky enough to get a drive :evil3: Boy, was I careful!!!

You know what's under the hood (front)? A car cover! lol. Comes with its own car cover. Not much room to fit anything else :

Hey Flic
when in September is it going...early or late? We will be in good old vict for Sandown.

[Discovery]

No exact date yet. Probably best if you get in touch with me close to when you are visiting to see if it is still there or not.
