Smile Ford Merchandise

Hey guys,

Just wondering who collects ford merchandise and what your favourite product is? They seem to make everything from easter eggs to chairs now so does anyone have any unusual ford merchandise? My partner DonutKing was recently given a 1981 Ford jacket that had never been worn!

Nicky

Since the Ford revolution in merchandise, I have kind of gone berserk....

I've collected:
6 or so pairs of Ford & GT boxer shorts, a Ford throw rug, aA Ford oval pillow, a large Ford blanket, 2 different Ford themed Quit covers & pillow cases, 2 set of Ford curtains for my spare rooms, 3 little Ford teddy bears (from USA), Ford racing flags, so many Ford shirts I've lost count, multiple Ford key rings, hats, stubby coolers, stickers, posters, brochures, a zillion Ford themed magazines, all to go with my mega collection of Ford die cast road & race cars.
My favourite is the large Ford flag I got for my 21st birthday, and it hangs proudly in the lounge room for all to see when they visit.

The Maddestman has a pair of Ford runners. We've looked for them again and cannot find another pair anywhere. I did see Ford slippers for men today in Target.
Apart from that we have the usual Ford stuff, cups, pens, keyrings, boxer shorts, jeans, tshirts, trackies, bags, phone covers, stickers, books, PC games (Ford Racing 1, 2 & 3) and the beloved FPR Jacket.
There are also the three Fords parked outside, try as we might we just can't keep them in the house. :P

Oops nearly forgot the Blue Oval engagement ring. :

I have a XR8 clock amongst many other FPV or Ford things.
I find eBay good for buying the last seasons gear at a good price, I see target has a FPV Easter egg and mug pack this year..
My most used Ford merchandise would be the glasses good for drinking my Canadian Club.

I am saving my holy "Ford Water" for the day we win Bathurst.
Then I shall crack it open, and all who are present at the time shall sip from the bottle of Ford Goodness.
Let's hope that we win Bathurst soon.. The water does actually have an expiry date on it!
