I'm a winner! Though I've forgotten what day the event was on for and it's not on Abby documentation! Also, it's going to be hosted at the airport right? They aren't flying us anywhere?!

Need to see if GTF286 will be attending or if i fly down and back.

If you weren't an owner that'd warrant a smack down While some may not overlook the grill the interior to me is the classiest Falcon GT interior bar none. And I'd walk through a late model GT to get to one

Pepe got a email too, apparently my timing was a trifle impatient

Looks like the ute will get a workout unless I sync up a work trip and a Hertz.

Hopefully someone brings up V8 Supercars and how important it is for us fans for Ford to continue its support and not just on a yearly basis.

I actually really like the EL GT. The only problem is it reminds me what could've been if ford had've built GT's for each and every model :(

Hi Guys,

I'm another who has been chosen.

Quick read we all must wear black clothing but I didn't read that we are to bring a car?

How else are you gonna get there mate? There is not much public transport to avalon and a taxi will be a fair cost. Maybe for those flying in come via jetstar if they still use avalon...
