Thumbs up Too Easy - How FF Thanks the FPV Boys

I usually do this, however I thought I'd give it a coupla days to see if someone else started this sort of thread.

The FPV Family day was a HUGE undertaking that is made up of many small efforts by many dedicated people. The end result is a production of massive proportions that makes all of us glad we're Ford buffs.

I sincerely thank everyone from FPV and Ford who gave up their weekend to accommodate us. For those who didn't realise, I saw many who worked long hours on Saturday in rain, hail and shine (it was melbourne remember and YES there was hail!). They then fronted on Sunday and were always smiling.

Personally I thank Happy Jack for a chat on Saturday (love this guy! ) I thank Tony Toni Tone Chesterman for his kindest attention and introducing me personally to my new baby 335662 (he reminded me of a farmer in the bush, one body followed by a swarm of flies!:fly: :fly: )

Then of course Rob Herrod and crew put on a fantastic artery clogging breakfast on the Saturday (where was Happy Jack for this one? ). Amazingly I escaped without spending any money

What a top effort FPV! Sensational!

PS; Disco Flick actually had the weekend off (cough cough)

Here here!! Too knackered to add anything meaningful, so I'll just let Pete speak for us in this instance!

Well done to all the lads & lasses involved. Top day!

Same as what Pete said about the Ford and FPV guys, many many thanks also to Chucky and Elle (and Sparkles too I guess) for putting up with me! (I'll get you bastards for that video!)

And of course everyone else that looked after me, in particular those that helped out when I couldn't attend certain functions... (Thanks JR!) and those who offerered transportation.

Thankyou for another wonderful (and funny) trip to Australia! Can't wait to do it all again!

On behalf of the FPV & XR Car Club - SA, thanks to the FPV boys and girls for the efforts put into Sundays family day.
It was our first public appearance and I couldnt think of a better way to start a new South Aussie club, The location we were in was excellent and with 100% club participation a great day was had by all, thanks again.

Thanks to all at FPV, I had a great day on the Sunday.
Got to see a heap of tuff cars as well as that sea of Boss motors.
Beautiful!
Grouse turn out as always.

Good stuff Pete, it's a great time to be a Ford supporter. New models doing well, and the Ford workers happy as hell and proud of their new offering to the car buyers. The FPV staff were willing to talk about any barra issue which is good for a sunday!
