Default Who's only ever owned Fords?

Me nearly!

In 11 years of driving I've had a fair few Escorts, mostly Mk3 and 4's (and one horrible Mk5), a Capri, Granada, Mondeo and a Sierra.

Only thing that spoiled the list was a cruddy little Pug 106... only bought it off a mate as it was a mega bargainous diesel that chugged happily up and down the country on Sainsbury's finest veg oil for a few months

Apart from Alfas, Lancias and Vee Dubs most other makes just leave me cold, hence the long list of Fords!

I've always had fords as my daily drive since 1984, mainly fiestas, but have a mini cooper mk2 I have had for about 20 odd years, and my cossie for 15, although due to fords not good range at the moment will be considering something else next.

up until a couple of months ago, all of my 30+ cars had been fords. i still own one, so feel that i should still be allowed on here, although i don't have much passion for a 1.25 fiesta (the 0.05 of a litre is very important )
