Media Release

FPV OPEN DAY BACK IN 2011!

To the delight of blue oval and motorsport fans alike, the legendary FPV Open Day is back in 2011.

On Sunday 27th February at their Campbellfield headquarters, the performance powerhouse will once again open its doors to the public for a day of fun for all the family.

Featuring a display of past and present FPV models, and other assorted Ford performance models, members of the public will also be allowed unprecedented access to the FPV production facility to see where tomorrow’s legends of the road are born.

And to add to the excitement, Ford Performance Racing will also open the doors to their race workshop – with FPR drivers on hand to answer all your questions and sign merchandise purchased on the day.

FPV ambassador Allan Moffat will also be present to have a chat to the FPV and Ford faithful as well as signing autographs.

The FPV Open Day will be held on Sunday 27th February, 2011 at 33 Glenbarry Road, Campbellfield and runs from 9am until 3pm.

AFF have been involved for years now, by all means organise something, i'm just not sure if its difficult to get a club display.

by **pHaT`eL** » January 1st, 2011, 11:26 am

If you can get something hooked up, id be keen.

by **superhuS!** » January 1st, 2011, 11:47 am

would they show lowly e-series next to shiney new coyotes?

by **[Sterling]** » January 2nd, 2011, 8:54 pm

I think this one of the moments where we sit this one out guys.

Dented panels go well together so I'll stick my car next to yours?

by **pHaT`eL** » January 3rd, 2011, 9:49 am

we actually have some B-Series and FPVs in the club these days. Most people go to see the old school stuff or stuff that they cant see at a dealer.

Im in

by **BROCKYB8** » January 3rd, 2011, 6:31 pm

Well ive contacted them however he has said that they will get back to me this week .
He believes that a club has puttled out .
Will let anyone know

i agree with kester. im assuming aff get in cos they will take quite a few fpv's, as its a fpv day....

by **nothin suss** » January 4th, 2011, 12:24 pm

Yeh i think All Ford Day is the proper place for non FPV cars..
Thats unless they specify they require older Tickford and special edition cars?

by **EFFalcon** » January 4th, 2011, 1:23 pm

FPV day is basically about 'special' vehicles..

so FPV's, Tickfords, Old GT's, ESP's etc.
my car has been on display there a few years ago... did feel out of place

i prefer AFD, but if people wanna try to do a display for this then might aswell give it a crack.

by **BROCKYB8** » January 4th, 2011, 2:25 pm

Ok in that case i wont worry about it then .
You can close the thread

by **pHaT`eL** » January 4th, 2011, 4:57 pm

Still go for it!!

by **SnyperEB** » January 4th, 2011, 6:22 pm

Do it Scott. Don't worry about what other people say!

by **[Sterling]** » January 4th, 2011, 7:12 pm

"ahh look at that club Boostedfalcon, let's go have a look at some old N/A falcons"
"well it was nice of them to come to an FPV day."

Srsly guys come on..

by **pHaT`eL** » January 4th, 2011, 7:38 pm

Youd be suprised how many people actually look at the older cars there.

Most people walk straight past the standard BA-BF models lined up and look at the ones that look modified or not so clone like.

"like"

To many B-Series turbo gets boring. There all the same. Would be good of we could get in to mix it up a bit.
I would happily put $100 on Brocky's car getting more people looking at it than a B-series turbo just got the different factor and cause it's awesome.

by **[Sterling]** » January 4th, 2011, 8:05 pm

I'd rather look at a 500hp xr6 turbo with wind deflector and stone guards.

I'd take you up on that bet, nobody likes eseries except us.

by **LOW_XR** » January 4th, 2011, 10:04 pm

sorry boys but at the end of the day there is very few e series on here that are show condition. people would rather look at big hp ba's etc with nice paint and shiny shit.

by **nstg8a** » January 4th, 2011, 10:18 pm

^^^what he said.

by **EFFalcon** » January 4th, 2011, 10:42 pm

what they're getting at is, a lot of the BA/BF's at the FPV days arn't big HP with shiny paint jobs.

they're clean stockers, which is great if you're into that kinda thing...

if you're up for it scott, try and organise something.
I'm not telling you not to.

Do we have any rear breads among us?

Scott has his Brock.

What about other rare E-series or even A and B series?

by **BROCKYB8** » January 5th, 2011, 7:50 am

Ill wait to here back from him officially .
THen we can go from there

by **SnyperEB** » January 5th, 2011, 8:08 am

Good stuff Scott.

by **[Sterling]** » January 5th, 2011, 8:54 am

Why not make a poll? Who here would actually enter there molested eseries into an FPV day at FORD HQ?

by **Dansedgli** » January 5th, 2011, 9:05 am

My au ute is rare and smells like a dead animal. I'm in.

by **SnyperEB** » January 5th, 2011, 9:23 am

I went and showed my EB a couple of years ago with Sunny in his green EA turbo & Pete was there with his old EL & also Brocky was there, great day. Were not made to feel out of it one bit. People looked at our cars cause there was not many E-Series there and all 3 were pretty clean examples.

by **LOW_XR** » January 5th, 2011, 9:04 pm

well how many people are on here think they have a e series that a show car?

by **EFFalcon** » January 5th, 2011, 9:25 pm

Have you been to an FPV day, most are not 'show' cars.
