I like fords but I like fast cars better. Fords are good but they arent the be all and end all.

I like Fords, but they're not the be-all-end-all. In fact, if I was very rich, there probably wouldn't be a Ford on my shopping list. I'd have expensive German luxury and supercars....

I love Fords but I realise they don't always produce a car that suits me so I'm open to what I drive. Owned a few Escorts as a youngie and when I got a family couldn't justify the expense of a largeer car so I had a Fagna or two but now I have a real Ford BA XR6 and it's the best.

Well since I was 8 and watched Moffit go one two at Bathurst I've always wanted a GT. I always lusted after the XA-XC shapes, and when the BAGT came out I decided THAT would be a good option too (kids). THAT would be my dream for me in an automobile. Three years on and I am very fortunate to drive one. I smile every time I push that button.

I lust after no other car, and I deal with surgeons with Porsche, Ferrari, Jag, you name it ALL day. Ridden in a few. Nice, but not for me. I'd still drive a GT if I had their sort of coin. Mind you it would be "somewhat" modified!

I do however now lust after the 6 speed auto.....

I was born into a family that had an XP and ZC at the time, and i own an XAGT, so you could say that yes, but when it comes to new cars, i'll buy what i think represents the best overall package regardless of brand.

I like Ford mucho, mucho, but not a true fan .. I'm too interested in other Yanky cars (especially Mopars and "orphans" [ AMC, Studebaker, etc]). I do like Aussie Fords more than Holdens though .. Ford consistently bought out cooler, more interesting, better styled, etc models than GMH. In all honesty I can count Holdens I lust after on one finger - *ALL* Monaro coupes. Fords are far more numerous - XM-XP coupes, XR-XB GTs, XA-XC coupes, ZA-ZD Fairlanes, XA-XC LTDs, etc, etc ..

im not a diehard ford fan, though ive owned 2 (XF and NC) and my next car will be a ford as well(XR or XT).

but i could very easily see myself in a whole load of other cars, given the cash or the space to put them lol..

older chevys, early holdens, euro stuff, etc.

I got mine too,
I am a beginner ford lover who will never change, I have the dedication, but am still learning more and more each and every day...

Although, i dont bash holdens just because of the badge... there has to be respect in everything you do... but UP THE FALCONS!!!

Love Fords, have owned a couple of Holdens and couldn't stand the company, sales staff and service staff as well as cost. Also, the product was pretty shoddily built back then, got stung by the GenIII when I decided to give Holden another go, and GMH were total bastards about it.

So Ford through and through. Have had overall better service and it is a far superior product technologically as well as structurally than a Holden.
