Default AFF WALLPAPER Feb06

Here's the wallpapers for February.
One nicely chopped Territory, that may contain a few 'hints' as to what may or may not surface at the Melbourne Motor Show this month (Did someone say Turbo Territory)
The other wallpaper should help to give people an idea of some of the sights on offer if they decide to visit the FPV Open Day being held the last weekend of the month.

The Blue ones are BOSS 290 (GT)

What Minca said.
That pis is a shot taken last year inside the FPV Engine plant. Australia's ONLY V8 production line.
The Blue ones(BOSS 290's) make it to the GT, GT-P, Pursuit & Super Pursuits.
Whilst the Black ones (BOSS 260's) are for the XR8's. I have plenty of other pics of both the body shop & engine plants, if people are interested I might make a new thread up somewhere.
Of course people could always make it to the FPV weekend themselves & see it all in person...

Big fan of the engines! If only my Escort engine we're building had that much power. Good wallpaper, a little busy as you have pointed out, but my pick of the two!
