Personally I'm baffled by the huge number of people in the Ford scene (and on here in particular) who don't own a Ford!
I've been a Ford nut since Primary 1, and I don't see my enthusiasm dying off anytime soon either! The evidence is in the growing family of them I have to support
'90 Escort Mk4 Estate 5 door 2.0 16v on throttle bodies (probably the only one of its kind in the world!
)'84 Escort Mk3 LHD, GT28, 300BHP+ Sitech Racing project
'86 Capri 2.0 150BHP - drift car project
(I've also got an Alfa 155 V6, but everyone's allowed a bit on the side aren't they?!
)And my girlfriend's pair:
'88 Mk2 XR2
'89 Escort 1.3 Popular - In her family from new, proper low miles and currently undergoing a huge resto!
Some other Fords that I plan to own too:
Sapphire Cosworth, both 2WD & 4x4
Mk2 Granada - probably V8
Mk4 Cortina - YB converted
Mk2 Orion - 90 spec RST/mini Cossie looks & turbo power
Mk1 Fiesta - Early chrome bumpered model slammed on wide 13s
Mk2 Escort - YB powered Harrier would be the nuts

Currently a Saph Cos 4x4 last 2 yrs and 57 plate Vectra SRi for the daily.
Had an S2 for around a year previous to the Saph.
Few Escorts, Orion n a Fiesta over the years aswell as Beemers, Veedubs, n Vauxhalls. Always loved Saphs, Escos and older Scorts thou and imagine i'll own these type of cars as 2nd cars for years to come, or the wallet runs dry!

Why?
There shit.
They tick ALL the right boxes but.....
You get out after doing some mind bending speed's around corners that you really couldnt do at half the speed in any other car to realise..
You had no fun at all, straight up massive anti-climax.
Oh and every chav cunt has got one

i call it an std cos i'd rather have one then own an sti)Like i said ginge it DID tick all the right boxes, but honestly left me massively un-impressed.
It just did the job and nothing else.
