Well here are just some of the pics I took. Thought I'd do a cross section. Of course the highlight for me was the Mad Max car. I even scored myself a pic with the car. The old and the new.

oh nice bucky!

how did your car come up after the detailing??
got pics of yours...... on its own?

that shaker looks unreal on the AWC car hey!?

**Bluehoon** · 31-07-2005, 08:34 PM

The Sucky Sucky...
Funnily enough, its clean!

:
It's all over liking chupa chups...

Damn there is some nice cars there.

My favourites are Adam's Ute (geez it looked good at the front of our club!!!), and the white GT-P with all the Ford Gear on it.
Some love it, some hate it.
It's different and kewl. :dj:

But that Black XR8 with the blower, its really is blown and wild. See the interior, wicked. His wife has the blue print TS50!
Lucky family!

But the two of them are always trying to beat one another with more power..

:

And well done to Gerry, his EB GT won him the concourse car award!!!!!

it:

Top AFD!
Cheers

We were pretty much blocked in with not much room to move. So i only got 2 or 3 of my car in our location.

You gotta see Adams car up close. It is a geat job on the bonnet. Shaker seemed to cap it off

**Stav** · 31-07-2005, 08:54 PM

I really like this setup...

A pity my little boy got sick and couldnt get to NSW FPV stand.

wulos · 31-07-2005, 10:25 PM

I spoke to the salesman about this car. The colour is menace. Personally I don't like it. Might look ok without Pink stripes and that white leather. Too much like a pimp mobile. And too think they would drop a colour like Blueprint and then bring out a colour like this. I think someone in the Ford Paint department has been sniffing paint thinners for just a little too long. :hihi:

Feathers · 01-08-2005, 10:02 AM

I used to have a car that looked like that for my barbie dolls to play with

Thats my car. They're standard XD seats retrimmed with the nasty **** plastic headrests removed

wsidfan · 01-08-2005, 06:27 PM

I was also there, took some photos also and will load them up on my webshots site if I can find some time tonight.

Highlights were;

1. Current drivers Ingall, Johnson, Seton and Ritter.
2. Past legends; Goss and his 74 Bathurst winning Mcleod Ford XA. Moffat and the banned Phase 4, complete with the original Evan Green "160mph Supercar" newspaper article from 1972. What a blast !!
3. Sheer variety of Fords old and new, festidiously maintained by the owners. A credit to all who took part.
4. Chance to reminisce about days spent as a kid at the old Warwick Farm circuit before it closed in 1973. Sad to see it's nearly all gone now. All that's left is part of the Causeway and the old spectator bank on Hume straight. I think I'll start a separate post on this elsewhere on the forum

Cheers.

Some fantastic shots here and from all accounts it was a great day. I'm certainly feeling a bit of pressure to make sure ours is just as good!

I think your show will be just as good for how its put together. There was around 400 -500 cars maybe more with 12 different clubs in attendance, SBR similator, FPV and Ford merchandise trucks and numerous vendors selling everything from food to polished calipers and race legends and current race drivers. Would be nice to see your show a success, but I think the Peter Warren Day is a huge logistical nightmare. If I was you, see no pressure in it and don't try to think you need to do as well. If you were to get your show as big as Peter Warren Day, you'll be dead half way through the Saturday from all the work, and we would have to attend your funeral on the Sunday.

I think already you've done a good job. Keep at it.

I was entrant number 959 & alot more rolled in after me. Dunno if the tickets were given out in order tho

Bucknaked · 01-08-2005, 08:55 PM

I was 137. I think there were 3 entrances so I imagine they were given out in random order.

B-1B · 01-08-2005, 08:59 PM

When we did the show bags on Friday night that there were 1000 done.

Bucknaked · 01-08-2005, 09:03 PM

Matt, how do i get another one of those mini plates that were in the bags saying "29th annual All ford Day" Last year I was too busy to get a bag with the plate. Just thought I'd like to get my hands on the 28th annual plate. Just something to collect, get Allan Moffat to Sign and sell it on E-Bay.

PM sent.

Timmeh · 02-08-2005, 06:19 AM

I heard there was over 1000 cars on display there, from multiple people... either way it was massive.

I thought it was pretty funny when that orange wedge shaped kit car in the photos on the previous page, with the plates IDIOOT, locked his keys in the car.

My favorite cars were the yellow GT40s (replicas I assume), and the GSR 97 EL Supercar - fond memories of that car.

Best part of the day was just meeting everyone I hadn't seen in ages!

It was a long day, but was for a good cause, and was the first car show our club has attended too.

**Mechan1k** · 02-08-2005, 07:58 AM

Timmeh ... I think you were parked behind me on the day ... I was next to the Burgundy RTV with the RTV trailer ... I had the AU ute with the Territory wheels on (with the Courier decals on the side).

Didn't know i could go in the running for Best Commercial Vehicle ... not that I would have got it though ... hee hee.

All in all i had a great day ... and it was awesome to see the GT500 there as well ... that was a highlight of my day.

So many cars there ... my feet were sore at the end of the day ... also a bit of sunburn too.

Bring on next year ... I should be modified quite a bit more.

**Mechan1k** · 02-08-2005, 08:03 AM

Mark from ITS Performance won best modified 6cyl on the day
Just thought I'd copy the pic that was posted above

I was only a few cars up from his ... was there with the FordMods crew.

Final number of cars on display was up around the 1400 mark from what the organisers told me as we were leaving that night.

As for spectator numbers, I wouldn't be surprised if the number was well over 60,000!

The weather was pitch perfect for this kind of show and the crowds came out in droves.

Congrats to the CFC for a great show.

Holy moly. And i took only 120 shots. That many cars. Thats a brilliant effort. At all the money raised will be close to $80,000 give or take. That's good news.

Yeah I remember seeing that! It looked very low, and the Terri wheels looked very big on the Ute!

Alot of people commented about the wheels that I heard...

Tim!
