Well, it's that time of year again...

[Steve_T]

Yep, the lovely time of year when Ford send their test-Falcons to Central Australia for hot weather testing and development :

Here around Alice, I've seen two cars so far - a black ute and a black (or similar dark colour which I may have not seen clearly) sedan. They were both wearing bras, but not the ordinary car bras they were wearing last year - these ones seemed slightly looser fitting and also came pretty much right over the bonnet. Makes me think they may be hiding a new looking bonnet or maybe front end - ?

I've seen the ute a few times and the sedan once. Every time I've seen 'em they've been towing what appear to be dyno trailers - I say 'appear to be' because these trailers are different to ones I've seen before - only ever seen 'em where they are fully enclosed, like a white box all covered in with rounded edges. These ones have a kinda white box down either side but just a 'cage' covering the middle and also have a flashing orange light on top. Pretty certain they're still just dyno trailers though.

Think I've found where they're hiding 'em out near the Tanami in their 'heat tents' - bit different setup to last time though. Unsure where they're based out of in town yet - maybe different spot to last year also.

That's about all the beans I have to spill right now, in the meantime maybe someone here may know of have a guess exactly what they're up to.

Let ya know if I find out more.

Steve.

Its all exciting but just let them do their business, unless of course you wont ford to potentially be effected by your snooping.

That's why their disguised! :

Snooping? - they drive past me and/or I drive past them on public roads where I see 'em just like everyone else. I have stated nothing that anyone can't see by simply looking at 'em and if I happen to get a pic or two it will do nothing more than that either.

If I had nothing better to do or was 'snooping' then I'd be out looking in where their heat tents are, trying to follow the cars to find their base in town and trying to get some inside info. - none of this has happened.

Just figured there'd be some other enthusiasts on here like me who would be interested to know when things like this are happening purely for interests' sake.

Anyway, nuff said.

Totally uncalled for.

Rather then be glad at an opportunity to possibly see a new/the next Falcon, taken by a forum member, on a public road, with the car passing him or some normal driving event... you go on like that. : :

[fiery]

Have to agree with Steffo...........

Steve_T ignore that 'other' post and take as many pics as you can possibly snap :
