Default Scoop...Ford release AU Cobra!

Seen in downtown Wagga with ACT plates.

Anyone here care to own up to it.

The brilliant paint job looks to be holding well too; just look at the lower skirt of the bumper.

That car had those stripes long before they started apearing on some of the other cars we see on here. It has been driving around like that for years.

Personally, I like most of the stripes guy's are putting on AU's but really dislike that one. When I found out Ford were putting out a new Cobra, all I could see in my mind was that car.

That be a bad effort, poor form.

Stripes on AU's can be good, but only silver stripes over Venom Red.

Pretty sure that was a 'Peregrine' Falcon 'special' edition which was done by one of the Canberra dealers.

Sydney dealers were doing the same thing, Brad Garlick and Sinclair Ford are two that spring to mind.

That first one posted though, just doesn't look right stock, and the stripes look too dark, wrong shade of blue.

The fact is that when a model like the cobra is released, people are going to prostitute the stripe pattern/

It looks crap IMO, but it's their money.

I don't mind the one I posted up, but I think it would look better if the stripes were a bit thicker.

Geocities is crap, here they are for people who didn't see them.

It's a canberra car and its often parked in at work. I see it from time to time in the car park.

Sold from McGrtahs ford. You can see the number plate surround. It will be different to the other guy as he lives in Victoria.
