Default FORD @ Melbourne Boat show

Was at the Boat show yesterday, was good to see the PR working away with a small stand in there.
They had a Series II SY TT giha, G6E turbo and a Ranger on disply and some
"WIN a FORD" scam going collecting names, addresses and Phone numbers.

Not exactly sure what "Ford" you would win, Did not see it written anywahere. But I filled one out......

All 3 cars were wide open with people crawing in, out and all over them and 1/2 doz people working on the stand chatting to people.

Reminds me a bit of Top Gear Live in Sydney: Ford had a few different brand new turbos and a GT on display all open to having tipsy bogans crawl through them with beers in hand while HSV had their show pony locked up tight.

Good to see they had their best there, were there any other manufacturers there? or just Ford?

Did not see any other car manufacturers there per se.
My mates stand had a late model F series truck on it though for Rocket sports trucks.
