Packed to the gills with assorted sh*te in the back and P Plates on the back, I think it was a Victorian Plated Car.I didn't think these were on sale yet (and after a chat to another Forum Member on MSN this was supported, just checked on the Online Quote, its not complete there either, error message) so I am wondering what the hell was a fully badged one, with P Plates floating about Country NSW?Didn't appear to be a test car? Anybody have an Idea whats going on?Sorry, I didn't have time to grab the camera, so there is no pics. I have let the site down, now, I must commit Hari Kari, for my honour...Cheers,BrendanPS:We do get some cool car throught the town, in the past few months I have been in the presence of Two M5's (V8 ones), numerous M3s, two ferraris including a 355 Berlinetta, Two SL55 AMG supercharged V8s and a AMG E55 S/C V8 BUT best of all Lots of BA XRs including Two Turbos and a Silhouette GTP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate of mine is finishing his mechanical engineering degree and he knows a chick at Ford (hmm...sounds far fetched but it's not!) who was driving one about 8 months ago. She gave him a drive and back then he was on P's. She had it for about a week I think to put some k's on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest P'cisT Guests Posted 06/04/04 12:48 PM Share Posted 06/04/04 12:48 PM Living near the Ford plant, I have seen _heaps_ of Territories on the road. Must be all testing cars, but they look completely normal with standard rego. Good job then since it will get rid of most bugs before official release.

He whos bids the most kms gets the vehicle for the weekend.You probably saw an employee going for a long drive as she bid a lot of kms! (thus the car packed to the brim with goodies) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
