Default How many people actually own a Ford on here these days?

Just reading what AJ said in a welcome post to someone(passionitdoesntmatterwhatyoudrive.com) and it got me thinking,I still think the majority own a Ford but it would be interesting to find out "the other percentage" .
I get the feeling these days that most people come on here for the banter more than cars,I might be wrong but just my opinion , Poll at the bottom .
Saffy Cossie probably most common but it will be interestin to see about M3`s n that

VW

My excuse for being here is I've worked in a Ford dealership 17 years and used to own a Series 1 and Series 2 RST.

Too unreliable I'm afraid.

Good source of info this forum.

A good Stage 3 RWD Cossie (340 BHP/330 LBS torque) will out accelerate a Ferarri 355 and only lose out above 150 (ish).......

For out-gunning Ferarri 360's or 550's you need a Cossie with more like 380/400 BHP and good torque......again, above 150 MPH the six-speed Italian cars will have a definate advantage......The 550 is a genuine "out of the factory" 194 - 198 MPH car
