FPV's new ambassador

[Biggav]

Not holding breath but yes does look promising that ford and FPV care about the sales by looking at the root of it all... by telling the punters what product they actually sell, having Moffet and some tip top ad firm running the show is a start.

Bring back the ads like the original GT ad with the boom gate in the parking lot and some nolstagic ads of the 70's with some modern twist in simular vain to the VE ute ad(scenes of the old GTs with some flashes of the new GT/HO -think the teaser shots of the XD on ice ad.. coming to end with shot of the new GT/HO with the originals in backdrop again remember the lightning strike BA vs XW in silver fox ads).

question is IF a HO comes back where does that leave the likes of the GT-P will that be asorbed into the GT and new HO takes the throne?

HO could benifit with FI but how bout some more RPM range to go with that IMO would just lengthen the worthy stakes just a little more if you follow...

Good to see Moffat involved again....the GTHO Phase III was when I first noticed motor cars as a lad.

I doubt we will ever see Holden backing down in V8 form at the race track again when faced with well sorted GTHOs like in the early seventies....but my experience of the Ford Motor company over the years has been, that they never get seriouse unless they want somthing.

Henry Ford the II was a rev head, it was his Edict, and open cheque book policy, that Ford was to out bore and outstroke the opposition on every platue, he was there to wave the starting Flag at Le Mans back in 66, he was there when the XP Falcon began the 70,000 mile endurance run here in Australia, and ultimatly we have him to thank for the original GTHOs... but he aint running the show no more.

The Question I have is....what does William Clay Ford jnr, have to get seriouse about in Australia....?

I am already aware that the current Ford Australia head honcho...has a dream about Ford Australia one day re introducing the GTHO.

Yet if they do, will they ever be the cars they could have been, if Henry Ford the II was still in the saddle at Ford.

I guess only time will tell......
