All I have to do is walk out to the garage and open the door, and seeing my baby there still makes me grin like a fool.
Same happened with the XD. I saw my old XD yesterday and I wanted to cry. Or bash the guy that bought it over the head repeatedly with the wheel brace.

Why I like Ford?
It all started about 6 years ago when I was 14 and in year 9, like most kids at school I was one of these kids that had a "OMG Holdens are better then Fords because Fords suck" attitude becuase Holden was so dominating in the V8 Suppercars.2 years after in 2002 the BA was released, at first I didnt like it because the shape was similar to the VY and I didnt like it.Later on in 2002 I started working at a Ford Dealership as part of school based work experience and I also got a Ford TE Cortina as my first car so I was slowy begining to like Fords. 2003 rolled around and I got my Ls, I drove the Corty for about 1 week then after that I got my VL 5 Speed, which I originally wanted in the first place so my temporary liking for Fords soon went away. In 2004 my uncle had a blue AU XR6 which he was selling to buy a brand new Mandarin Orange BA XR8.Later that night, just hours after getting it he came around and took us for a drive and it was the nicest sounding and smoothest car ive ever been in, so after I took a strong interest in Fords. July 2005 I decided to try my luck at a Ford Forum (Here) and since that day I have taken strong interests in EAs,EBs,EDs,EFs,ELs and alot of the older Falcons, despite being looked at a Holden guy on a Ford site I have enjoyed being here these last few months and it has me thinking of buying a Ford, most likely a Falcon in the near future. Sorry for the life story but I thought you guys might be interested in why im here today and not just sticking to Holden forums.

It satrted off because i got sick of going along with everyone at school. So i became Ford to stirr them up
 Even since then, i can;t get enough of them. Just the look of them, just so tuff! Also there not a commodore and everyone around my area has them!

The first car I remember my Dad owning was an XW falcon, and because he liked Ford's, I liked Ford's. That was 30 years ago, and I still like them. Thakfully he didn't have a HQ instead.
