Since the early 2000’s, every year on the East coast of Australia, past and present enthusiasts of the Mitsubishi FTO gather from around the country to catch up, check out each other’s rides, and generally have a good weekend away. With Bonfire 2016 on the approach, I thought I’d give a recap of last years event!

I wanted an FTO from the moment I set eyes upon one whilst browsing for my first car. I knew next to nothing about cars and even less about this Mitsubishi I’d never even heard of, but it looked stunning, had a V6 engine, and I could drive it on my probationary licence. My parents were less thrilled about the prospect of their son driving an imported coupe, so, since they were sharing the cost and thus it partly belonged to my brother, I settled for a 2002 Mazda Protege.
