While you are all around, why not engine plant as well. It is where they put together the hearts of your babies? and it is only 45 minutes down the road.

Feb each year for the past few years Tickford have held a family open day, not sure if they plan running it in 2003 though.

Oh, I'd be up for that pending financial status and other events that are on around that time.

As for the FPV Day, yes, it is happening in early 2003 and FPV will be open to public. Unless you're REALLY hanging out to see Ford in Broadmeadows (pretty interesting!) and Geelong (not so interesting IMO), this would be the perfect chance for such a thing.

If you DO visit Geelong, you might as well visit Discovery Centre too. It's an awesome place! ATM they have the GT clay model on display and a few other things down and upstairs. When I went there in... errrr... the time before last, they had this black GT40 replica there and it looked just AWESOME!

Definitely a place to visit!

Do not, and I repeat DO NOT take your woman with you, unless she is a revhead.

The place is cool, the only thing missing was a XE ESP which was taken out two weeks before I came :(

I asked for some pics, but they didn't have any :(

Heaps of classics there, worth the trip!

I'm in - my phantom turbo is due in to City FOrd on Friday this week - should have a play with it next week.

Cheers

Good stuff mate. Good to see as well City Ford doing some good business on the XR6T. I picked up mine from City Ford last Friday :D And boy do I love the CAR!

Hey guys, has anyone organised an approximate date for this one? And is it a driving trip or a flying trip or what? I'd be interested in going, I'm driving down to Melbourne for Christmas to spend it with the fam but unfortunately I have to come back before New Year to get back to work :(

If a date (or approximate timeframe) crops up I will try and apply for leave to see if I can make it as it sounds like a very interesting trip :D
