The Irish Mitsubishi FTO Owners Club

As of some evening this week, the lovely Veilside kitted FTO in Coronation Street is about to be no more.

It should be noted at this point that I don't watch Coronation Street, and am only going on what I'm reading in the papers.

Maria tries to run Tony down, Tony killed Liam, Maria's husband, who owned the FTO. I'm guessing this was as a result of FTO-envy.

anyway, the airbag goes off, and she might be killed, although my sister says she survives.

Some shots of the car in the Sunday World magazine, including an interior pic with dial rings and a deployed airbag.

Nice.

God I thought that FTO was written of years ago!! Wasnt it involved in some other accident before? Think I remember a discussion on it before?

did they actualy crashed the FTO ?

seen the other day Thunderbolt again . that silver FTO appeares in the end as well i guess they filmed the crashing scenes after the ending scenes (i' like to belive they only used 1 FTO )

I thought that FTO had run someone down in Coronation Street before, either way, it's in a crash again, she aims for the dude, misses and kills the car and possibly her unborn child as well.

Found this:

Just saw it on TV3 now, it's a Tip GPX, leatherette interior, and she was using the seatbelt guides!

Earlier on in the show, she bangs her head in the middle of the steering wheel, and the horn goes off.. Er..! :roll:

If it had been a manual she might have hit him.
