Well played FOA. We have been screaming for something like this for ages. Well done.
I just hope they use the exposure to have the entire range on display.

Car Advice have a story about the display. Excellent work on Fords part. I can't recall such a strong marketing push as this from them before at the show. Well done Ford.

Good idea, just hope people turn up to the show.
Majority of the car makers are not attending. http://www.theage.com.au/drive/motor...017-27r4g.html

It's good to see Ford actually trying for once and it's about time Ford gave up the quiet, well behaved school boy behavior and done something with balls. Well done Ford. Now just have to drill it home!

Aston Martin have the only one-77 in Australia on display for a few days, and one of only 77 ever made. Worlds most expensive car.

Seems like someone is channelling the late GP, it's just like something he would have done....still love the story of him taking an early build BA XR6T to a meeting of industry heads held at Holden's HQ....some reckon he laid rubber leaving....
Wonder if the floor space is cheaper outdoors, lol... |
