Go go go!

He definitely got a fair bit of response with those photos

The closest I can probably get is posting photos of my winery weekend, but somehow I'm not sure it will be much of a hit on this forum ;)

This is the closest I can get...
(you may have already seen this photo on my blog...I split my pants getting in the car on the day I picked it up)

Let's try that again...i think my file was too large

Byanka, maybe its worthwhile taking a drive down to Dick Johnson Racing for some photos?

byanka82 · 05-08-2011, 03:39 PM

hmmm...might need to lift my game you think?

I had to look up where it even was. Stapylton is about an hour south of my place...I might have to give them a call.

Thanks so much for the tip.

Really appreciate it.

Well that last pic did it for me..LOL...you got my vote, I feel so cheap.

Brent I think Dick would be very appreciative of a visit (no pun intended), good PR all round.

Some of you may already know, that I'm part of a competition to win the Ford Focus that I've been test driving.

Here's the original thread:
http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11338081

Anyway, with less than a week to go, I'm desperately trying to move from 2nd to 1st place.

Since fellow forum user 'Dannyhilton' is also a Queenslander, we arranged to meet up for some photos and a test drive.

Photos should be up in the next few days (thanks so much for taking them Danny).

In the meantime, we shot a brief video of our catch up...

Here's the youtube link:

Enjoy, and thank you so much for your votes.

Can we keep it all in one thread please.

Good luck once again.

byanka82 · 06-08-2011, 05:22 PM

Sure. Do you want me to delete this thread?

byanka82 · 06-08-2011, 05:23 PM

Duh...sorry. Just realised you've already put the threads together. Thanks.

**DJM83** · 06-08-2011, 05:28 PM

Nah all done, i fixed for you

Thank you Danny for these photos!!!

Turbodiesel · 08-08-2011, 11:01 AM

Love the photos Bianca, how much longer to go in the comp?

Also have you been over to www.fordxr5turbo.com? They have quite a few members as well

The comp finishes a 5pm THIS friday!!! Not long to go.

Thanks for the tip too. Just not sure if the xr5 fans would appreciate me inundating them with my ford focus stuff

Have been voting for you. You need to go first, so just go for the XR5 forum. You have nothing to lose.

byanka82 · 08-08-2011, 03:29 PM

Done

Thank you!!!

Riksta · 08-08-2011, 08:27 PM

Some nice pics there, well done!

Just voted again, spam up as many forums as you can to get votes.

Even go for OCAU & Whingepool, a pretty face like yours will win a bunch of votes!

Thanks Riksta.

I just tried to register at OCAU but they don't allow free email accounts ie. Yahoo.

And I googled whingepool, but couldn't find the website...

There's only a few days of the comp to go now, so I guess D-day is friday

Pretty sure you'll find that Riksta's referring to the Whirlpool forum

Well that makes sense. Would explain why 'Whirlpool' kept showing up in the google results

Thanks

Russ · 09-08-2011, 10:42 AM

You're most welcome

Riksta · 09-08-2011, 08:26 PM

Haha sorry, I'm so used to calling it Whingepool that I can't believe I actually wrote that instead of Whirlpool!!! Would have been a case of brain translating to fingers quicker than I could actually think about what I was typing!

Edit - trying to rally the troops (aka my Facebook friends) to vote now, I have refrained so far because it will probably turn into a "let's vote against who Riksta wants to win" because they're all twisted like that, but here's hoping they pay attention haha!

That right there, that is why YOU deserve to win!

Turbodiesel · 12-08-2011, 06:07 PM

Well I just submitted my last vote for you Bianca, so sorry we couldn't get you to the top :(

Thank you for your photos and videos, they were most enjoyable.

Surely there's a prize for second.... Ford Fiesta maybe?

I really feel unbelievably blessed with the amount of people support me and voting for me.

Thank you so much for all the effort you put in.

Sadly, I have to return my car tomorrow, but I guess we knew from the start that only 1 out of the 12 of us would be walking away with a car.

Riksta · 12-08-2011, 08:15 PM

Sorry we couldn't get you to the top, but we tried!!!

Well done though, I think you did really well. Please don't forget us, pop by from time to time and say hello!

Thats a bugger, we tried though. But if you want a drive in a faster Focus let me know.

Thanks Riksta. Will do. I guess I'm back to driving my crappy Lancer now. Hated it ever since I layed eyes on it
