Media ReleaseFPV 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.

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
