I would like to take this opportunity to extend an invitation for you all to be a part of the 2nd Annual Gold Coast All Ford Day. The day is to be held on the 14th October 2007 at The Parkland area situated at Carrara Football Stadium, Carrara Qld. We are holding the event one week prior to the Gold Coast Indy Race to capitalise on the exposure at such time.

It will be a family fun day. We have support of several firms involved in the motor sport community, the local police and other charitable organizations.

This event as the name suggests is only open strictly to Fords or Ford powered cars. Last year we had 160 vehicles in attendance, including members from various clubs, Several notable Fords including, Bowden's, Redcliffe Dyno, Herrods. We had displays by both Ford Performance Racing and Ford Performance Vehicles and The Stone Bros Simulator.

This year, we have coverage by Performance Fords magazine, sponsorship by Ford Forums, Meguires and Shannons, commitment from Ford again and DJR/SBR/FPR.

Can this please be made as a sticky. I should be ok to join in the show this year, depending on a couple of things. 1. If I am still driving a Ford, 2. If I have to play a gig that day (can get random at times). Maybe the band could play on the day? But there will probably be noise restrictions, (then again, Laminges AU, damnnnn).

I've wanted to know the same thing... i post up in this section a bit lately, but as far as i know, i am not official or anything...

As to the All Ford Day... already planning on going up there with a few friends from another forum.

Sledgehammer · 08-10-2007, 08:29 AM

All Ford folk are welcome at the ALL Ford Day.

If you would like to organise a aufalcon.com spot, please let me know how many cars etc so I can arrange to place in the same spot.

Their is a trophy for Best AU.

InfernoSR · 20-10-2007, 01:55 PM

Well i was disappointed i didnt see any clearly marked AFF cars there... This has gotten me energetic to start making shirts for my other forum and want to merge the shirt with both sets of logo's, URLS etc... I also want to get some advertising on my cars for them... just so we are seen more, and can find other members easier.
