Default FPV shutdown

I know there have been some earlier threads on this, and I dont wont to cause a fuss but.......

I was at Herrod Motorsport today picking up a K&N air filter for my GT. I asked the bloke for a screw driver so I could fit it in the carpark before I drove home.

He said "ask the young mechanic in the workshop".

So I did, and he said "bring the car in and ill fit it for you".

Great service I thought.

As he fits it he says to me "Lucky you got a new GT because FPV are closing down early next year".

I was shocked but he swore it was true.

Anyone else heard this? Is it true?

There will be lots of rumours over the the next 12 months with all the attention on Ford and FPV. Some will prove true, some wont. We will all wait and see.
