Default So I was in a Ford parts dpt today...

As I needed a new boost hose for my van..... Whilst waiting for the fuckwit to work out what part I was talking about, I was looking around the "showroom" part of the parts dept - couple nice fake plastic engines (the nice cut-away ones shoing the insides) and some promotional stuff, and a t-shirt on the wall caught my eye. Plain white, with PASSION in big blue letters on the front - in exactly the same font as PASSION in the PassionFord logo on the top of this page!

Coincidence?

(yes, I am bored )

Dan - just got home, bored, thought of it - posted it

T28 - nah, I didn't want to PROVE I was a nerdlinger by actually photographing it

xrsi - this was a posh one in Barking - showroom bit of the parts dept was bigger than my sitting room Plus add onto that the seating.waiting area, coffee bar, counter, etc
