Default "End of Days"Ford event Pilgrimage.

Is any body aware of this? And if so,are you interested in going/joining the "convoy" to Broadmeadows on the 1st of October, with the main "get together" at Ford on the 2nd? The main meeting point I believe is at the Caltex servo Yass on the Hume on the 1st(Channel 7 will be in attendance both day's covering the event.)Cheer's

Still waiting on confirmation that Ford sanctions this, if they do I'm in, if they don't I'm staying away.

The "Hoon" factor could be a problem also.

I think honestly most car enthusiasts are good and respectful, hooning shouldn't be a dirty word

Be mad if they roll out some prototypes and give us access to secret labs.

Perhaps if we surrounded them, they would tell us who was responsible for stupid design aspects of our cars . . . like who came up with the idea of placing the air con HIM valve inside the dash on the last Territory?
I'll bring a pitch fork . . . anyone have a burning torch?

Its already being discussed here.

Basically all I can see happening with this is the same thing happened when cruise for charity moved to Calder park. Except Fords car park is a lot smaller than Calder park.

The cops blocked off the entry and told people to go home because there was to many cars.

You also have to remember, Ford employees may not want to celebrate due to last few days of their jobs.
