The FPV FG Preview day is being held at Broadmeadows on Sunday May 25th - Can we have a list of names of all members who will be attending this event, and whether you will require accommodation.

I will organise accommodation just after the 18th April and will require a deposit at the May meeting.

Remember we need to have a list of names to submit to Ford by the 18th of April. After that date you can not get in.

Attending:

FPV Preview day was good except for the weather hopped in and out of all the FPV range and we have lots more phots of the day.

Thanks for the pic's mate, the only one that takes my fancy is the white GT.

Like the GT-P, but WTF is the hole in the lower grille for! ruins the appearance (it's less noticeable on the GT)

Good work Bill and Dave (nice club representation there too)

The Rocket · 25-05-2008, 10:26 PM

Stuffed if I know

Pursuit250 · 26-05-2008, 07:31 AM

Thanks Bill. I like the look of that GTE the best, although you didn't post up nearly enough photos of the utes. I'm still not convinced by the FG. The beauty of the AU is still hard to complete with

Thought exactly the same thing about the hole......maybe a camera? - so you don't hit the front bar on the gutter - even though you'd have to drop the car a foot first to get it front 4wd ride height!!

Nice pics guys.

I think the hole is for towing? Stands out more in the GT-P yes. I'm not a fan of the rear end on FG as a whole, with the lights and all, and the GTE especially because it could be a G6 from the rear.

The doors look too plain, much too much black, no more door spears or alloy inserts?

davez104 · 26-05-2008, 09:44 AM

How did the BF F6 interior shot get mixed up in there??

Any interior shots of the GT-E?

Dave.

genebaby · 26-05-2008, 09:50 AM

Those are the FG F6 interior shots. The seat stitching of BA is back in FG.

davez104 · 26-05-2008, 09:53 AM

Looks like a BF interior to me.

Lightning Strike GT · 26-05-2008, 10:02 AM

It is the FX6 Terry not an FG

i am sure it is the air temp sensor they do not have them on the passenger side mirror anymore.

davez104 · 26-05-2008, 10:05 AM

Ahhh, OK. Thanks. They look very similar to the falcons inside, must use a lot of the same parts. I've never even sat in a Territory.

Dave.

The Rocket · 26-05-2008, 03:15 PM

Hi Guys that photo is the FX6 Territiry

If that's the reason someone needs a good beating. Surely the holes in the grille are big enough as is.

Either way, it looks like an afterthought - thumbsdown from me.

The Rocket · 26-05-2008, 05:56 PM

Sorry Guys the interior belongs to the FPV F6X270

FASTXR · 26-05-2008, 10:18 PM

Come on Bill - don't tell me you came back without placing an order??

DaveGod · 27-05-2008, 08:14 PM

Well we just got back, iam not sure if dad put up all my photos but i'll double check that tomrrow. But the F6X270 must have an early production run as its an FG with mainly BF interior, it was the only one there...and yea, no idea about that whole in the lower front grills, didnt notice at the time. But overall of the new FG range if i had a choice id buy a BA/BF.

The Rocket · 27-05-2008, 08:32 PM

Nah did not put in an order as you can not beat the BA GT-P

genebaby · 27-05-2008, 09:30 PM

Sounds like we need more pics of this F6X then if the exterior is different?

That whole in the lower grill is for the tow hook guys. There may be an temp sensor there too, but the hole is not for it.

To the best of my knowledge, its only the Falcons that get the FG upgrade. The Terry's (including the F6X) continue with the BF interior until their upgrade, which I think happens next year?

genebaby · 27-05-2008, 10:20 PM

Yes, and the Terry doesn't look FG like from the outside, unless this was some special mock up they did, pics please!!!!!

DaveGod · 28-05-2008, 12:34 AM

Hmm yea, i will upload the other photos of the F6X270 that i know i took tomorrow. Its diffinately an FG exterior, its NOT a territory. Photos tomorrow as i should be asleep.

DaveGod · 28-05-2008, 09:56 PM

Ok, F6X270, i didnt take a good overall shot though...

Yea, pretty bummed that i didnt get an overall shot, maybe dad did on his dinosaur camera.

I will also scan up the sales brochure but i left it at work, so again - tomorrow.

genebaby · 28-05-2008, 10:37 PM

That's a normal F6X. They are for sale like that now.

DaveGod · 28-05-2008, 11:12 PM

Yea ive never looked into it, however it did have the new FG bonnet decals...i will scan up there FG brochure tomorrow.
