Default Come support A FORD in Drift Australia in 2010!

Team Mobile Mayhem are entering their fully race prepared XD (Yes I did say XD!) in next years Drift Australia series.

Drift Australia is back again in 2010 with a full 5 round national series so there will be plenty of opportunity to get out and barrack for a BLUE OVAL BEAST as Danny and the team take it up to the competition!

A full build thread is available for viewing at

http://www.xfalcon.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19787

It would be great to see plenty of FORD fans get out to the drifting and get involved in this spectacular sport.

See you at the track in 2010!

Unfortunately I have nto been able to make it to the race meet this week end :SaiyanSmi

Apparently fitting a new flatpax laundry and having rellies from the UK arriving in a week take precedence over going to Da!

Hmm is this the same Danny that was drifting a blue XD falcon the last few years at Hidden Valley up in Darwin? If it is, this thing has big smoke! Funny seeing him at a Hidden Valley motorkhana and whenever it was his turn all we saw was a smoke storm! Good luck to him and the team.

I'm a holden fan but it's good to see more aussie cars competing in what is mainly an import dominated event.
