when is fpv going to update the news section?

Boss 290 · 08-11-2006, 03:38 PM

i used to visit the fpv site every week, then it went to every fortnight. now im lucky to have a look once a month. the reason for this is that fpv have not added new news on their site. the last addition was in july. it feels longer then that but its been 5 months since fpv have put any news up about anything at all. its a joke. they used to add news every 2 month. on a few occasions it has been every month and on febuary this year 2 pieces of news in the 1 month. but my question is, why has fpv lost interest in informing its fans on what is happening? they should add news about new things that are being triald. 5+ months is just too long to find out news about what is going on. does anyone else feel the same?

Go easy, their budget for website maintenance & improvements is only $50/year!

I think FPV has lost interest alltogether. When I bought my F6 in March:-
I was told I'd receive "Blueprint" ... never seen it.
I joined their e-mailing list .. never seen one
I e-mailed them about fog lamp surrounds loose or falling out ... got a reply after 2 weeks telling me they're "looking into it" ... never heard from them again.
For a $70K retail vehicle, that's pathetic.

By contrast, the leather upholstery (with protection kit) in my wife's SP23 looked a bit faded after 12 months so we rang the dealer about it and were asked when it would be convenient to bring it to them. We made the appointment, were given a Mazda 3 demo to use for the day and when we picked it up the leather protection had been redone and her car had been detailed!

I had to write a two page letter to the dealer principal before I could get anything properly attended to in my F6.

I think FPV/Ford's customer charter is riddled with cancer and is in need of a clean out and a new customer orientated line of thinking adopted.

No trouble convincing me this is true....

I was working a graveyard shift a couple of weeks ago and tried to log onto the site.....

WEB Site UNAVAILABLE -

For a laugh, send them an email... You'll need a hair cut before the reply arrives.

Think they are still recovering after Andy left.

i bought my car in september 05 and i have recieved all the blue prints so far. i think they cancel it soon and you have to become a member to gain further access. i suppose they dont put up news because they figure the only people who would look are the fpv fans who already get blue print. maybe you slipped through the cracks you should really look into getting those mags and more for the trouble you had.

i dont think they have done anything news worthy

Have they decided when next years FPV family day is?? I've been checking in to their website to find out but soon realised it's a futile excercise.

Umm... what about Force 6 and Force 8? There was more info on this site then their own... and BF2? Any news there? Development news into Orion FPV... maybe thats just a Ford only thing though....

But there is still plenty of news that they havn't told...

EDIT - See my post about the new FPV Model - F6 Tempest (LINK)
