Ok people, sorry for the delay in posting, but I have been very busy with work lately!!

The details are as follows:

Sydney Members:

Meet at Mt Annan Woolworths at 7am for a 7:30am sharp departure.

There is Optimax there, so those of you who have a Shell Card can fill up.

Drive down to Pheasants Nest Mobile Service Center (be there at 8am) to allow for Mobile Card members to fill up (I need to drop something off to Trumpy also here).

From there I will be leaving you on your own, Trumpy will be leading the way down.

With regards to the CB, stay off Channel29 as I found out on the weekend many Truckies use 29 and 40.

We'll figure out a channel on the day.

The Motel where most of you are staying is off the Princess Fwy in Belmont.

The Princess Fwy takes you from Melb to Geelong, and turns into Settlement Road.

There is a Shell Servo almost right across the road from the Motel.

The Motel is called the Rose Garden Inn.

The exact address is: 14 Settlement Rd (Princes Hwy), Belmont VIC 3216

And their contact number is: 03 5241 9441

I have attached a map.

More details to follow.

I will ask all the attending members to meet at this motel on Friday morning at 8:30am for a 9:00 departure.

You must be at Geelong Manufacturing Operations Plant by 9:30.

The only directions I have been able to obtain are:

When they go to the Geelong plant you turn left at the traffic lights on the corner of the plant at Northshore Rd and proceed to the security gate approx 200-300 meters down the road.

You will be in a Group of 60, and must adhere to all the Plant rules listed in the first post of this thread.

After the Geelong plant tour, you must all leave for Broadmeadows, as there is a very tight timeframe.

For this you will need to split up in the following groups:

Group A:

DucattiJB - 2 Adults

Dagabond - 3 Adult

Trumpy - 1 Adult

PhantomXR6 - 2 Adults

Geea - 2 Adults

MS700 - 2 Adults

Falchoon - 1 Adults

XRMan - 2 Adults

TwinXRs - 2 Adults

IMTRBO - 1 Adult

CraigH - 1 Adult

Goose - 1 Adult

JB351 - 3 Adults

Whatever - 2 Adults

Black XR6 VCT - 1 Adult

Mercturbo - 1 Adult, 1 kid

Group B:

CJF077 - 1 Adult

XRCISM - 1 adult

CraigH - 1 Adult, 2 kids

Cramorr - 2 Adults

GHR30 - 3 Adults

Saleen1 - 2 Adults

PSI_Guy + Julza - 4 Adults

Plumb Bob - 2 Adults

Trevor - 1 Adult

Spadnium - 2 Adults

Madisonjae - 2 Adults

Group A will be going to FPV which is located at:

33 Glenbarry Road CAMPBELLFIELD Vic 3061.

This is 500 metres from the Ford Broadmeadows Barry Road gate.

You must be there at 12:30PM.

Group B will be going to Ford Broadmeadows.

Enter through security at the Barry Road gate.

You must be there at 12:45PM.

After each tour is Finished, each group has to swap plants.

Group A needs to be at Ford Broadmeadows by 2PM

Group B needs to be at FPV by 2:10.

Once these tours are finished group B must go back to Ford Broadmeadows to hear a speach from the special speaker (how many of you noticed who it is? :)

After the speach, the day is finished.

Sadly as many of you know I won't be comming

I expect to see loads of pictures of the cruise, and outside the plants (as pics are not allowed inside).

I hope you all have a safe and happy time, with no problems.

Have fun Everyone :thumbsup:

Even though I'm not going on the Ford/FPV tour after reading all these posts I felt the need to congratulated and thank Cro for massive effort he has put in to make this event a reality on behalf of not only the lucky members who can attend the tour but everyone here at FordXR6Turbo.com.

It's a credit to Cro who has obviously put in alot of time and effort to organise the biggest FordXR6Turbo.com event ever despite not being able to attend the event himself. It's because of members like Cro that all these wonderful events, cruises and information days can happen, again well done and thank you Cro :rockon:

Slight change of plan for Canberra folk. Just been talking with Mick and we decided we are going to leave to avoid arriving in Melbourne during peak hour so probably won't meet up with Sydney people until later on in Melbourne.
