I know there are a few Fordies on the forum. I know some of you by name and by avatar, and some I don't know, but I'd like to take to take the opportunity to wish everyone well. Whether you jumped, were pushed, or remain please know that you will be remembered by the Ranger and Everest legacy
best wishes voluntary ex-Fordie. |

Big thumbs up to all you guys.
From PX to Next Gen, I've owned a number of them now they have all been great cars... Some let down by Thailand manufacturing, but mostly a good experience.

To all the people that have worked there over the years thank you, it would not have been an easy environment.

officially Australia still own and lead T6 development, but with so many jobs lost, and so much work going to India, Brazil, China and the US it's hard to believe it will last much longer. |

Sorry to hear the news.
I remember Spymans sneak FG and FGX photos posted on here, I always assumed he was a Fordie too.

Maybe it’s my pessimism kicking in but I won’t be surprised that it’s all gone in 5 years..
