Default Win a 1:18 Scale BA GT!!! Today Only.

Hi folks - a very quick cometition here today.


We have had some threads of who's car have we seen during our driving around, which brings me to the competition.


firstly the prizes......

If you win - you'll get a Fordforums hat, keyring, fordforums beer mug, scuff plates for a BA Falcon, and last of all a 1:18 Classic carlectables BA GT Falcon.


Some of you know me and my car - it's a Rapid (yellow) XR8 Ute MKII with Echuca Trophies sign written all over it..

Today, it's going to be in Melbourne (with me) and i'll be all over Melbourne.

if you see my car today and get a photo - be the first person to post it on this website on this thread and you'll win....

there are no rules - just delete my number plate from the pic before you post.

some hints i here you ask - some suburbs i'll be visiting are:

Hawthorn, Mt Waverley, Plenty, Boronia, Bayswater, Croydon, Cambellfield.

Happy searching - and good luck.

Cheers,

Phil

nice "open" competition for all members, i don't see Moranbah on your list.

your thread should say " win a 1:18 Scale BA GT!!! Today Only in Melbourne"

if you had of done that i wouldn't have bothered opening up the thread.
good luck to the winner.

If I was in Melkbourne I'd try and find out Philbies address - and "snipe" him in his driveway. How funny would that be - a photo of Philbie reaching his car to start the competition!

have just returned back - and must say there was a fine effort by Sun Drifter and Back2thefutura for their attempted efforts.

I didn't get to Mt Waverley - and was arround 2.5 hours behind my normal run times while down there in the rain.

however - no photo = no winnings..........

Lets see what kind of comp i can come up with next......and will try to make it fair to you interstate users too.....

till then....
