it was a great ady and awsome turn out by all and great to catch up with everyone

I hope the guy who lost it and almost went into the crowd got done for the works, what a ********!!!

I agree, the police did a great job, we weren't picked on and idiots were controlled. I didn't see one burnout or anything.
The cars were great, very nice to see. Most of us turned up at 9AM and didn't have to que. Only down side was I had to wake up a 6am... :(
As said earlier, Ford owners are generally great people always ready for a chat, show their car, etc.

I tooks pix most were of the E-series club, they can be found right here!

Redrum · 21-02-2006, 12:26 AM

My first time that I have attended the All Fords Day with a car parked in the event. Was a great day, some beautiful cars and some dodgy ones too. Getting in and out was no problem. Had a good time. Next year I might even enter my car for judging.

qwigybo · 21-02-2006, 05:27 AM

XR-ENVI that engine bay :sm_drool: anyone got some info on the BA HO ?

Thanks for that Rob, here’s a few pics. The last one shows the bloke who drove off in Mick’s ute. :hihi:

XR-ENVI · 21-02-2006, 09:08 AM

My only critism of the day would be that the organisers should have a ruling which means cars are not allowed to leave before the conclusion of the show. i have been to many shows where this is the rule, it is only fair on the public who come. By finish time (4pm) there werent many cars left. my uncle is in the kiwanis and was there on the day as an organiser and i will suggest this to him. people who arrived later were not happy and may not return next year as the show may have been crap to them as there were not many cars. I understand people want to get hoime etc etc but if you make a commitment to be at the show you should stay there till finish time

**Full Noise** · 21-02-2006, 09:57 AM

You’ve bought up a good point XR-ENVI. I was amazed with the amount of vehicles that left before the finish. At the FPV day you are not allowed to move your car until it’s all over. This is a condition from their insurers. At the AME show at Jeff’s Shed you need to have an escort walking in front of your car wearing a safety vest. These places are just covering their backsides in case someone gets injured and wants to sue for millions.

By the way, I loved your engine bay. :sm_drool:

Cheers, Danny

adzELXR ... Could you pm me the pic of my car? (heritage green el) In full res if possible! Cheers!

Group C · 21-02-2006, 02:21 PM

Just a few of the many pics I got on the day, of all sorts of stuff.

2 pics of the FPV & XR clubs BEST PRESENTED CLUB display, for the 3rd year running.
Well done guys AND girls!!

The next few I took at the end of the day. Was much easier to get good shots then, without 5 million people walking around!!

Nikk's XR8.
She spent hours and hours on it for the day, and will do the same for the FPV day this Sunday too.
And yes, I'm VERY proud of her and the way she looks after it!!
Not bad for a daily driver, ay.

Brad's XR6.

Al's GT-P.

And the club's trailer. Easily the COOLEST trailer around!!

Enjoy!!

EFFalcon · 21-02-2006, 02:24 PM

how big was the space allocated to the XR Club of victoria, and how many cars did they have?
deffinately an impressive setup

YES!! I had to work until 1pm Sun, so didn't leave to drive down Geelong Rd until 2... 2.15. On the drive down the amount of Fords (obviously from the show) coming back was incredible, I mean hundreds!...I thought whats the use of going if they've all left & turned around at the ford factory and came back home

Group C · 21-02-2006, 02:34 PM

It was a pretty decent sized area, but we could have done with some more space, coz then we could have got some more cars in there!!
I think we had about 35 cars, although I didn't actually count them.

Mate your right there. I got to the day at 2:45 and there were bugger all cars left. I ended up just watching them all drive through the middle and out the gates. I knew I'd held out for too long when I drove up settlement rd and saw them all driving back to Melbourne. At least I got in free though, wouldn't have been worth it otherwise.

Simmo · 21-02-2006, 02:58 PM

We saw the aftermath.
Was on/near Settlement Rd.? (sorry, not from Geelong, so not familiar with road names).
Was a silver XF sedan with EF/EL XR6/8 16 inch wheels and had a 'X series owners club' sticker on the back window.

Must admit, I did say to MRSXR8 as we came up to the scene "God I hope that's not someone from the AFD today...". Poor bloke. I feel sorry for him.
It didn't look very healthy.

Didn't see much more, as we were just driving past.

Yeah I saw that on my way back home too. It looked #kn nasty. Anybody know how it happened? There was glass all over the melbourne direction of settlement rd and the car was on the opposite side's nature strip facing back towards Deakin.

I reckon more than half left before end of show!! They may have ruling but dont/cant enforce it.

Pity the offset is so far out. I loved the FR's on the EL's. You could put 18" by 10" on the rear and 18" by 8" on the front and it looked tuff. I think they don't look as good on the BA's. Pity, my favourite wheel. I am going to look around for something else. Welcome any ideals.
