Dear Falcon Fanatics,
Few cars have stirred the hearts of Australians quite like the Ford Falcon. Now with the release of the best ever Falcon FG X, we’re calling on people who don’t just own a Falcon, but are fanatical about it. That’s why we’re offering you the opportunity to join V8 Supercar champion Mark ‘Frosty’ Winterbottom in the filming of the FG X Falcon launch video. Together with other Falcon Fanatics, you’ll be able to get up close to the FG X Falcon and meet Frosty. It’s all part of an exciting day of activities. Filming will take place for the full day on October 17th at a secret location near Melbourne. We want you to bring your stories, your passion. And most of all your courage. This is only available to a limited number of fans. So, to be a part of the Falcon Fanatic experience, register now. Follow the link to sign up now: http://www.ford.com.au/falcon-fanatic-reg Fanatically yours, Bob Graziano Ford President and CEO |

Hopefully it suggests that Ford will extend its racing contract with FPR and (maybe extend it to DJR-Penkse )as part of promoting the new falcon.

I may have registered. Anyone that suggests they cannot drive from Adel or Cbr or Sydney for this event is just plain slack
Once in a lifetime opportunity. Besides the ute could use a nice cruise luckily I'm changing the front bar though

With all due respect to Ford's PR department, getting a group of Ford diehards to share their experiences with Joe public isn't a great idea at all. It sounds very bogan.
Personally i would have rather the employees on the production line, guys that have been there for decades. A commercial on the 1st FGX rolling off the production line with employees putting the car together with pride would reinforce to customers that employees will continue to build Falcons with care and pride till the last one rolls off the line. It would give the public a little more confidence to buy these things knowing the people that build them arent disgruntled about losing thier jobs in 2016. |
