I went there every year or 2 for many years. All my photos had been lost to history by now so it's very nice to reminisce.
I was there in 2009 looking for inspiration in my upgrade from the EL Ghia to a BF of some sorts. Had to be an FPV and I had my eye on a late 2007 blue F6 R-Spec with 2000km on it on the Gold Coast. Had a very sad story behind it and I was ready to drop the hammer on it but something was holding me off... Couldn't explain why.
When we were walking out of the FPV day we were talking about it in the group when the quiet one goes "what about a Force 6, that be more your style". **** me, I never never never thought of it at all.
i
Look on the Carsales and there is one in Coburg with 10,500km on it at the right price. 2 weeks later it was mine. 30th birthday present.
A year or so later a friend invited me as his plus 1 to an FPV open night. I think it was the release of the FG V8 Supercar. He had a friend that was doing placement there as part of her marketing uni course or something like that, so she got to invite a few people.
FPV were selling of excess BF FPV parts dirt cheap, all money going to charity.
Picked up 2 Force lip spoilers for $10 each I think it was, chrome mirror scalps for $10 a set, box full of alloy pedal covers for like $50 and I think we scored 4 or 5 complete sets of R-Spec shocks for $10 a shock.
So I ended up with an R-Spec Force 6.
Also ended up being one of the biggest lemons I've owned. $36,000 in warranty repairs.
Still loved it though!

Someone had good taste, Force 8 in Ego with the Regency Red interior.

Nooooo... Good, or probably should say excellent, taste is a Force 6 in Ego with the red interior.
