I'm one of the converted from Holden to Ford. Still love the holdens, but the current range of fords available are hard to beat. Don't think i'll ever go back.

I started with a lust for VWs (beetles, kombis).

First car was a Ford. 2nd car is a Ford. 3rd car will most likely be a Ford, but I have an unhealthy liking for Kingswoods too :

Well I have 3 Fords.
The Good Ol XF Ghia . owned for about 13 years and still going strong.
My BA XR6 - My out of towner, only done 4000 km in 7 months since i have owned her 25000 total.
and the laser - my other halfs runabout.
All 3 are 5 speed manuals, converted the ol xf about 10 year ago and never looked back.

I am definatly a ford fan but I appreciate some other cars as well when done up right.

I like my Fords so much I bought a Pulsar as a daily driver so I wouldn't care if it got dinged.

Only ever owned Ford. I just might be.

But I plan on owning some non-Fords.

Love my fords. Born into them and will pass that down to next generation. Not mine but relatives.

Never have been and never will be, when I cut myself I bleed red : But that doesn't mean I am arrogant and one eyed, I have respect for a decent Ford and am interested in what goes on in the 'dark side' :voldar02:

I'm 60% Holden 40% Ford.

My first car was a Ford (TE Corty) and I drive a Ford almost everytime I go for a drive (Mum's 5 Speed Laser).

I have a huge soft spot for old Holdens up to the Toranas and the only Commodore that really gets my blood pumping when I see a hot one is the VL, I also love the old Commies VB-VK not really a big fan on newer Commies the only one I would own is the VX.

I also have a huge soft spot for old Falcons (XY GT without a doubt one of the best Aussie cars made).

EL-EFs have been catching my eye as of late aswell, I get sick of seeing VRs and VSs all the time.

I love cars. Different makes, models, eras. Not a die hard ford fan but there are some classic models that make me drool.
