Default Passion for Fords???

Just wondering how many of you that come on here regulaly actually do have a passion for Fords? It seems there are less and less Ford owners on here and more and more people dissing the brand on what is supposed to be a enthusiasts site! Maybe it should be re-named PassionForEbay or PassionForWhinging etc etc....
I don't care either way its just an observation

There does seem to be some lacking of fighting the Ford corner. Having said that at least we're not a blinkered bunch of muppets like some sites and marques

Don't get me wrong fella's i'm not one of these 'Fords are the bollox so don't slag them' numpties Far from it as i really only like the Cosworth engine and a Ford just so happens to be what its wrapped in most of the time! Also i have nothing against other car owners on here either as it takes all sorts But i see less and less talk about cars and especially Fords on the general discusion page every day and the thought occured to me that a lot of people on here really don't have a 'Passion Fir Fords' at all.

I still have the same love of Fords that I did when I was 14
Although it is mainly for the RS marque now since Ford dont seem to produce many respectable cars these days.

Fords are cheaper to run

Not hugely bothered either way to be honest.

I just like fast cars, and the Cossie happens to be one (well, obviously not mine )

It was "only" an XR3i. But until you pay out Ł160 for a set of genuine Motorsport BMW HT leads you simply havent lived

Snap mate. How the fook I ended up with an Audi I don't know Fooking thing ahas gone wrong more often in 6 months than the old 2i did in 4 years and I used to razz the tits off the Fez. All been daft stuff like the water pump failing (Christmas Eve ), and having to have new suspension arms (there's about 8 of the coonts on each side ).

Same here

Although, for some reason, I can't imagine getting rid of the cossies any time soon, but I have a hankering for another TVR, a high power westfield or caterham, etc...

I'm not a brand person, I prefer to treat each model individually and base my opinions on that, rather than just generalising!

ive no vested interest in the fact that its a ford ( other than reasonably cheap bits - large marketed brand ) , but the only thing that made for for me was teh relationship with cosworth , without it i can pretty much say i would have a ford at all
