To all the people complaining that Ford do not advertise the awards the FG has won, nor its V8SC Championship, you can now stop whinging. Saw the first ad during the cricket. Maybe Fords advertising department can actually do something?
About time. |

Maybe the Ford advertising section is run by Jeff from the Wiggles and he has finally been woken up? (Wake up Jeff !)
Let's hope this is the start of better promotion of Ford Falcons |

Given they sponsor the cricket and the amount of people that view it id say the timing is very good. Falcon: "just keeps winning"...

Well who'd have thought, Fords promotional office were working over Xmas to get this ad up and running.
Another vote for "about time".

Just saw it- Gold. I was hoping for something along these lines, or possibly something like "The new Ford ______- why settle for better when you can have the best"

It's a good Ad with all the goodies going in the boot like that.

BAII RTV - with Raptor V S/C. RTV Power FG G6ET 50th Anniversary in Sensation. While the basic Ford Six was code named Barra, the Turbo version clearly deserved its very own moniker – again enter Gordon Barfield.
We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about. “Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”. |

Ford didn't win the third v8supercar championship in a row at all. They won Bathurst for the third time in a row, but not the championship. Must have been from the Russel Ingall days at SBR. When he won the championship that was the third in a row and we only just won it again this year. Not very accurate if you ask me.

Why didn't they say Ford had won Bathurst 3 years in a row? Bit of an oversight there as they mentioned they had won the championship, they should have mentioned Bathurst as well. |

Id say its been in the pipeline for a month or 2 and its been modified as the awards/wins have kept flowing, especially since they've known Ford would win the championship for a while now.
