Bowden Phase IV on show in Sydney this weekend

Dan289 · 28-10-2009, 11:26 AM

As if we have not been doing enough the last few weeks, we have the new big Ford Day at Homebush this weekend! Our old Phase IV will be making the trip, first time we have shown it there.

Click here for all the details

Hope you all enjoyed the Legends run we did at the Super GP on the weekend, huge thing to put together and run our ten cars with just three days preparation!

All the best,
Dan

Brilliant to drive with as well... Watching Dick roar past me in Greens Tuf with Richards hard on his heels in the 635 was one of those special moments..

But Sunday, switching it up with my brother in the Super Falcon, myself in the Moffstang was without doubt the single greatest feeling I have had in a car.. Such awesome old beasts.

That was a great sight with you guys side by side, and yes the XE stood proud amongst the other legends.

Bet your glad they all came back straight! Was the Capri yours aswell? Seemed to have some typical British fragility about it. (looked great though)

The phrase is "living the dream" I believe!

I hope you guys looked at the Camaros brakes once the weekend was out!

Really enjoyed seeing them, hopefully I'll be able to see them in the flesh next time.

XE was totally amazing. Dick did it proud. First time it has been on a track since 1989...

If you get a chance, take a look at read the blog on our website, you can see just some of the daily fun and drama we had down on the Gold Coast leading up to Sunday.

Camaro is brakes, clutch and a ball joint, which gave it the unique shimmy under brakes!

Capri is Bo Setons, a lovely old race car, they had drama with fuel foam breaking down and blocking the system up, same thing we had in the Super Falcon and A9X.

That did look interesting on TV watching the Z28 try to shake itself to bits under brakes

One tagged road GTHO and two racing Phase IV's made at Ford Special Vehicles are left. Correct that Hotto's car was written off in a road accident.

Pity you could not come along, should be a fun day, especially if they let me kick it over in there!

thanks dan for bringing out your cars for the super GP, me and my mates watch the action from a 12th floor unit, the sound of the old school muscle cars was unreal!

Yes thanks Dan, I know its a lot of work and a big risk for you guys, but I must say that its the greatest way to see these old racing legends, ...on the track, doing what they were built to do. Not in the garage under wraps. Full credit to you all!! It was amazing!

What's it like to be able to sit in a gold mine and drive it to.
