FORD mules in the Alice.

Outbackjack · 23-02-2007, 06:15 PM

Hi all, just got back from the local ford dealer here in the Alice. Had a long chat with the service manager. He said that ford are testing their new large car here at the moment. They are towing their dyno trailers up and down the hwy during the heat of the day. I know the hotel where these guys stay so I wil sluething around their with my trusty camera.

Photo's will be $5.00 each.

Just kidding.

You do realise that they now know you are hunting them and will be extra sneaky.

Well they gotta sleep sometime. And given my insomnia I dont see a problem sneaking around the hotel parking areas.

HAHA.

How can he post pics if he gets banned?

FPV8U · 23-02-2007, 07:23 PM

Mmmm Spy Pics already can't wait!

majin_andrew · 23-02-2007, 07:24 PM

If you get decent pics that would make you the biggest legend in the entire world, you do realise that don't you?

im so going to laugh if the 'mules' are BF's with running gear like they did to the VX with VE running gear.

They would have to be, a few handful of orions have been built so far and the FEU's wont be on the road till later on, unless some of the fully bra'd up ones are going out early for the outback

**Mechan1k** · 23-02-2007, 07:34 PM

Is this going to end up like that thread about this guy buying the supposed nice X-series for $1000 that had been sitting in a shed that was immaculate ... when for 50 pages and no pics.

Subscribing to thread for amusement value ... :hihi:

The service manager said that was a possibility, but then why put bra's all over them??

Scruba · 23-02-2007, 07:49 PM

Can we pitch in for a cab fare?

I bet Motor or Wheels would...

Scruba · 23-02-2007, 08:12 PM

Motor yes, wheels maybe not for a Ford.

Low shot I know.

XR8putts · 23-02-2007, 08:16 PM

If they really were Orions (and not BF mules) then I highly doubt they'd park them overnight in a Hotel carpark.

Think safe warehouse/garage somewhere. I too doubt they've made it out to the desert yet, I thought they're still crashing the poor things.

Time will tell..... I will try and track these guys down tomorrow. They are not usually hard to find, with those dyno trailers with the yellow flashing lights and all. I have never seen car manfacturers hide the cars away other than rite down the back of the parking lot at the Crowne plaza hotel.

I will do my best. I want to see these things as well.

ltd · 23-02-2007, 08:48 PM

Can't wait.
We should all pitch in and send a pallet of boags to outback if he gets the pics.

For a carton of Boags I'll get my daughter to drive me out there!!!

**Polyal** · 23-02-2007, 09:31 PM

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if they are out there, but I dont think it will be that easy to get pics, during the day would be your best bet.

outbackjack..you know Craig/Andrew do sometimes tell little porkys..especially since some years back Centralian got broken into by a car mag photo guy who took pics of test platforms and released them.

Ford were not impressed and Centralian had a big security upgrade.
And it took sometime if ever to get them back.

Hit the Plaza at about 5/6am and you should get pics of them getting ready to hit the road.
