It's called Passionford - most of us have Passion for Fords, just not all of us have them at the mo. We did, we do, and we may have them again.

I like the variety on here.

Will be putting most of the car up on Sunday night - when everyone gets back from Croft - 7 day auctions ending, oddly enough on the following Sunday!

Sad to see her go like this, but I'll be back with another Ford when funds allow!

Get a mate to watch the items for you, and bid on your behalf....

Or have a mutiny, jump ship, swim back to the UK and watch the items at home!

Or.... pass

it's cool mate. I won't tell a soul


It's a shame that everyone is straying away from Fords, and after I've finished saving for a house I'll be getting another one. as a 2nd car.


And leave my poor little MR2 alone 900 quid, uber cheap insurance for an old git like me and it's never cost me a penny

I only bought it as I was doing a re-fit of my ship in Liverpool and needed a car to get to the shipyard

surely if you only want to discuss fords then go to the room for the car you have not GD.
personally I like the variety, most people on here, may not have fords anymore but are still petrol heads and thats what makes the discussions interesting.

sorry but i joined this site due to my interest in fords,,,, if there was a decent car about by ford i would have one but as i also WORKED at fords i KNOW what they think of there customers,,,,, they aint the same company they used to be im afraid

this site has done LOADS for me PERSONALLY, ive got alot of mates who look after me on this site,,,, my actual CAREER is alot of help from this site with the info ect allowing me to get a job at fords then going on from there and learning to get the job i do now

the DOWNSIDE to this site is theres alot of pricks on it,, some are two faced cunts too and there the WORST kind,, the ones that are nice to you but talk about you ect

the others on this site are good,,, i ALWAYS meet new people on here and theres ALWAYS a person on here who can help

hell even Ryan from malta whos just joined the site has helped me LOADS as im going there wednesday and hes gave me info about where to go and how to get there

so the site is more of a comunity now,,,,, so fuck the tossers who think " you must own a rot box saph cossie that reality is worth a grand and waste all your cash chasing rust ect on it" crew

id own anohter cossie if they was worth it but after i worked out my cossie cost me more than what i paied for it in running costs made me thins FUCK THAT

my BMW has cost me 40 quid in repairs,, its about to have a few quid spent on it for its loyalty too,,,, where my cossie i was just replacing things and more things and cause you cant get em new you have to pay someone a kings ransom for some wanky worn out part that on a BMW,,,, YES BMW would be half the price from a breakers


i bet alot of us have been memebers LONGER and have looked after the members MORE than you may have done,,,,, i know i look after a few and alot ahve forgot about what ive done for em too but i still do it

THATS what a good site is about

as for renewing my gold membership,,, i WONT cause when i had a issue with a trader on here the mods ect didnt do fuck all or give a shite and i was treated like I was the fucking problem when i bought a part that i never used then discovered it was fucked so i had to pay out to get another one


btw i STILL have a passion for fords,,,,, hell ive got a fucking cossie engine in my front room and cossie seats in my bedroom that i use for when i play my playstation on

see theres the problem,, ford using any parts to cuts cost and make a car that sells rather than a car that lasts

show me a ford,,,,,,,,, sorry a performance ford thats done 150k miles or more on the same engine

my BM has done 160k miles and a trip to the ring on the same engine ( and engine oil )

I would just like to mention that i have Fords all my driving life,well after the Talbot Horizon anyway,that would be since 1988,some of the people on here wasnt even alive in that year lol.

Its only 5 years ago i went from my RSt to the Focus ST then on to my scoob.

If you dont like what you see then dont read it ,simple really.

Are you sexist?raceist?ageist? so why do you feel you have to descriminate from other cars??

Take the blinkers off mate, you have a smoother ride if you do

Perhaps we should call it ''passion growup''

Mate, to have a 'passion' for Fords, doesnt mean you have to own one or only discuss ford. So whats the point in the post? I for one am considering not renewing my Gold either like yourself, but thats due to numerous errors on the site. To say people should only have a ford to be on the site is somewhat bizarre!

well said that man

had to sell the old girl was rusting away big style




the wifes mint frst



our new fiesta

and ive just bought a new focus tdci

life would be well boring if all we talked about is fords, this is a great site and what makes it great is the fact that you dont have to contribute that in turn ensures that all sorts of peeps come on this site and talk about differant things and cars, not only that you can ask about anything and get good advice
then ive got my sunday run about car

andy.. i like all cars
