I love the smell of the 80's and the nostalgia...(the oil burning)...

And the thrill of it trying to kill me.

Love my Missus & my kids but find it hard to think of my car in those terms. My car is one of my hobbies.

i love how i could go and drive my non fords and everything is fine, i take my ford out and something niggles at me, so i end up spending a day or two sorting it.
there's always something with the piece of sh*t, but i wouldn't be without it.

I love most fords but what i love about the cossie is how quick it is for a 21 year old car. Its also easy to work on.The looks you get makes you feel special when driving it.

Then there is our focus. Ive always liked the focus cause they drive really nice and tbh i think its one of tje best cars ford have ever built. Ive always wanted a blue car too.

Not an awful lot at the moment, it is making quite a handy storage area for crap at the moment, though.
