Default A quick poll to see......

Who on this site dont like talking about non Ford cars. In particular those that have a hatred for anything japanese or BMW.

For the record, I currently own two fords, and one BMW, so for my part, I have no problem with it at all, and would encourage it. I am not a fan of the closed minded attitude, and I have pride in being involved with passionford because of its open mindedness ( on the whole)

I am just curious at this stage.

Made some very good friends through the Ford scene, however moved on to other/better things , but still have a soft spot for them and love the looks of an Escos/MK1 Escort and appreciate what a well tuned RS can do

There are plenty of forums on Passion Ford that are devoted to Ford only discussion. This is general discussion, so I dont see why other cars cant be discussed.

I think it brings a nice balance to the board and makes for an interesting read.

I am glad to hear that I am not the only one a little bored of the digs at anyone who dares talk about non ford cars.

I have a cossie, and believe it or not, I am interested in other cars. EVEN JAPANESE ONES!!!!

Those that do not understand other things, will not learn from them.

I for one have a boost controller in my car that I first saw in a japanese car, designed for japanese cars! To ignore them is to miss out

I don't care what anyone drives - it's good to hear about the other cars.

A lot of posters on here who have non ford cars have had loads of fords in the past.. so their experience and expertise is still more than welcome on here.

Those who think they should go to other forums *cough Bosch* would be lost without all their knowledge.

if everyone is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO concerend about the non ford talk going on here, why don't you petition for another room?
or make another site along the lines of www.hateford.com

this room is called "general" discussion NOT ford only discussion, if you have a problem with a ford you can go and post in the ford sections of this site

and anyway, there are too many rich people here now that they've stopped spending money on their cossies and can aford to buy oriental or german cars

I can't see anyone of any consequence objecting to what's talked about in GD

I'd come here to ask a question first about ANY car, simply because I know who I can trust to give an honest and accurate answer on here. No point starting on a new forum from scratch only to get some cunt posting rubbish thinking they're funny [at least we all know who they are on here] and that's if they bother posting replies at all.

We're bloody lucky to have so many knowledgeable people on here and I for one make the most of it. And regardless of what make of car, one of the tuners or resident geeks [sorry Chip ] could probably answer it quicker and better anyway
