All arrows / vehicles headed to Broad Meadows in Victoria where we meet for one last hurrah.

Would Victoria and other states / towns have sufficent fuel for potentially 10,000 extra cars to influx the area all in one hit. Towns along the way could set up show-grounds as one off camping grounds. Hotels / Motels could potentially make a years profit over a month period. Makers of all things Ford merchandise would make a killing.

The logistics would be enormous and would need to planned so as not to appear as an unruly mob of hoons hitting a town like a scene from "Mad Max". Potentially done with Police escort for the say the last 100kms into the B/M factory.

Just a quiet thought from an Ol' Man

Would definitely need to have some serious organisation. But I had to have a chuckle at your mob of unruly hoons comment

Maybe the moderators (cos they would probably have ears in Ford) could put the idea forward towards Ford and see if it pans out?
