Question Possible New Model ??

Hi All.

A work mate who lives near geelong tells me that the other day he was on the way home down the princess Hwy heading towards Geelong when he saw some thing very unusual.

A B.A. XR ? come up along side him COMPLETELEY covered in a skin tight black car cover except for the back window which had a black mesh cover over it like the external sun covers, likewise did the side windows only the windscreen was fully uncovered but very tinted.

The wheel arches were also covered to the hub of the wheel the rear spoiler was out but also had it's own cover on it.

Any idea's.
Wayne

This thread is useless without pics.

No idea what it could be....but lets hope it is to do with the Motorshow.

More than likely is a Copperhead mule doing some durability milage. Next update to Falcon before the all-new-beasty in '07

With more people seeing these test mules, the more hope we have of getting some "spy" pics. I just wish they would hurry up!

Being mule cars they will be magically fast and powerfull and able to evade 99% of attempts to get them on film... just like the BA's were.
