I seriously doubt that either Crompton or Bowe are being considered to run FPV. Unless Crompton has some hidden experience in running a major company, he is simply a former driver turned mouth piece. While JB's forte is more in developement and customer liason, I don't think that he has the required experience in running a company like FPV despite owning a car dealership. I think that the new boss will probably be either from Ford itself or from Prodrive.

I forgot the mods would know. Cool. I like it when those who run the company take the time to see what the guys buying their cars are saying.

Great to hear from you David and when your time comes up for retirement i'm sure that you will be looking forward to it,until then it's great to see that you are still in control of FPV.
Cheers John

I think Minge said it perfectly for all of us who have been lucky enough to spend time & talk with David over the years.
David has been nothing more than a dead set champion towards people form the car clubs, forums & general supporters of the blue oval. I genuinely hope that the search for Davids replacement is as exhaustive as possible, as the last thing that is needed is a pencil pushing stooge as the head of the Ford GoFastShop™. Davids replacement needs to have a fire burning inside them that is white hot. This person must have an unrepentant desire to smash HSV into the weeds. From here on in there must be a No Compromise attitude filtering through Glenbarry Rd. The motto is Performance Inc™.. Time for the HO....

i was fortunate to have David personally correspond with me over the most trivial of issues. anyone that high up in an organisation who is prepared to listen to a punter is worthy of a lot of respect. David even mentioned that the FPV site had included the RS2000 and he hoped i liked it. top stuff. thanks HJ.

Sorry if I read too much into AA's report David. It's good to know that you will leave on your own terms... as any true gentleman should be allowed to do.
But I do know that you are friends with Crenno... you even swap corporate cars, I hear? ;)
