Are your sure it wasn't FPR..? having a workshop clean out before they buy some new tooling for next season?

ms700 Moderating Team 10,170 Member For: 22y 3m 11d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 08/11/06 05:33 AM Share Posted 08/11/06 05:33 AM FPV used to do all of their own tyre fitting, but now they are put on at the assembly line.I asked the question when we all went down for the FPV tour about 3 years ago. All of the cars that visited FPV (t's, GT's etc) all came over with chasers, then the alloys were put on at FPV. They now fit them on the assembly line.So that's why they sold their tyre fitter, they dont need it.I heard London bridge is falling down......
