Default Ford Bluetooth SPAM @ Brisbane Motor Show

I went and checked out the motor show last night. some nice cars, especially the lotus' and exotics. But when i got back to my car and checked my phone, it had a message up asking me to accept a bluetooth item. i accepted them both [they were already on the phone, but if i say no they get deleted] and went to see what i had been sent. lo and behold and animated gif of the BF falcon and a nice shot of the XR5 turbo. Did anyone else get these???

They had Bluetooth displays on the Ford stand and if you had Bluetooth activated, you would get something from Ford...

there was an orange one there that i sat in. quite a nice place to be actually. has nothing on the cabin of the rx8 and mx5 though. you are literally sewn into the cockpit on those cars.

What will Holdens version of advertising be. Pictures of a free bull bar for every V8 cummadore purchase, handy item to punt those Fords out of the way in tense racing situations.

Hehe, yep. I'm sure the person responsible has been sacked and his desk replaced with a water cooler.
