lol, it looks like Laminge is doing a major stand over tactic..
"You WILL sign up....You WILL post!" Lol, well done guys, thats an impressive meeting to get, the head of Ford Australia is not just a "ring and go in" meeting.

Its great to see another Down to Earth guy running ford OZ
To be in such a position, and take time out to meet some mortals representing fordforums.com.au, shows his own passion of the oval. I must say though, would never had happened had it not been for the "woman behind the man". Thanks Sheila, your a legend. Fordforums.com.au is on the right track.

Shirts [b]AND[/] ties... whoa
but seriously.. great to see such a valuable relationship being formed with the head honcho's. Its a win win situation really, he gets to cruise the forums and write it off as PR, and we get to hear from Tom Gorman.
