Haha I agree with you. Saw a couple of white disguised Camrys on one of the roads to Timboon some time ago.

At least the T6 has global significance in the Ford world, even though it won't be made here.

I thought something was wrong with the system but when I put in the rego of my own car the info came up without any problems.

I dare say the system is set up so that cars registered as prototypes don't reveal all when the rego is put into a search engine...

As a side note i feel it's rather scary that someone can look up those details of my car by just seeing my number plate..

I have just got home from a week's holidaying down at the beach, and on the way back to Bendigo from Geelong, heading toward's Bachus Marsh, just up from the prison, what was comming toward's me.....
This same vehicle posted in this thread, same camoflague and all, he was actually pulling up on the side of the road as I passed him, I take it he had just come from the proving ground as it's just up the road from where he come from.
I was keeping a good eye out for any FPV's that maybe following and told the missus to get the camera ready,
But nothing, oh well.
