Just a quick heads up to anyone that will be up tonight, on the car show (channel 9) they are doing a FPV/FPR Tour
"FPV/FPR TOUR It's amazing how much time and money people will spend turning their family sedan into a performance vehicle. Well Ford caught on and created FPV, Ford Performance Vehicles. But how much of a Falcon is left once FPV have got their hands on it, and for that matter, how much of a family sedan is left in a Ford Performance racing vehicle? Sam takes a tour of FPR to find out. Actually, anyone can take a tour of FPR and FPV, but you probably won't get such an insider's view of the place, and you definitely won't get a Bathurst winner like Jason Bright to show you around."

Cool haven't missed it.
They must have rated it M due to the possibility Morley and the other goose are having their way with the FPV product. |

Just saw it, not bad not bad. Only 6,000 V8 engines produced a year (XR8 & GT)?
Was an interesting sight! They showed a Toxic BF FPV just as the article ended being driven away nicely ;)

Yeah a toxic typhoon with the 19inch options was driven off by that girl who was 'reporting' the story. go check the place out people (melbourne people), myself and the mrs went down and had a look around FPR a few months ago, it's free to get in. In all honesty it's not the most thrilling experience but it's worth it i guess. There are no tour guides, and they don't let you into the service area for FPR, but you can look at the work going on through the viewing windows. I also got to have a close up look at the red drift typhoon in all it's race spec glory. Think it was stacked shortly after ? Anyway had a look at the red Ford GT they had on the show in the flesh too. There's also information there about their data dot technology, and plenty of 'well priced' merchandise to peruse.
It's worth it to kill an hour on a weekend  (though i was never offered a spin in an F6)
