Hi Guys,

I had a fun night - so thanks to all. I also want to publicly thank Ford Performance Racing and in particular Rod Barrett - Commercial Director FPR for putting on the FPR Open Night for us. :spoton:

As Adam said, we faired well in the trivia quizz with gogo, myself (with valuable help from the FordXR6Turbo.com team giving me the answers :nod: ), Adam and xlnt6 (who took out one of the $200 prizes) picking up prizes :pooh:

And finally the huge performance from the FordXR6Turbo.com "pit crew" who took out the grand prize of 2 signed Bright & Winterbottom shirts in the tyre changing comp: TUFXRT6, xlnt6, flukeyluke, gogo and deek. :nod: And, as Adam mentioned earlier, they've kindly donated the 2 shirts to the forum to help generate finanical support from forum members. Well done, guys :spoton:

Format for the night was an interview with Jason Bright and Mark Winterbottom, autograph signing, then a tour of the FPR V8 Supercar workshop (where they showed us how they custom manufacture some of the specialised machined and carbon-fibre parts themselves), trivia quizz and the grand finale tyre changing competition. Merchandise was available as well at a 15% discount.

And here are some photos for your enjoyment :nono:

Fantasic night, FPR really put it on, and it's good to see they are willing to give back to those guys supporting the blue oval. Free food (Gogo was a happy man !!!), meet and greet from Bright and Winterbottom, an interesting tour, plenty of prizes and we cleaned up against the FPV and XR driver's Club in the tyre comp.

So Gary, where is the rest of the pics. I know you took more, we especially want to see the ones of you and the FPV marketing rep (hubba hubba :fool: ). If anyone gets the opportunity to go on the tour in the future it's worth having a look. I know they do similar things on the FPV Day. Also I think the XR6Turbo.com forum should have a car display at the next one !! How about it guys ??

Cheers

Robin.

Can I just say Gary that the last photo of you with miss FPV just looks like you have done that a thousand time before :pooh:

Though I must say she had the biggest jaw I have ever seen on a women!!!

Still give her a one out of one :spit:

Thanks for organising another great night Gary :spoton:
