Fast fords ?

Re: Fast fords ?
Had Fords for a few years when I first started driving, Anglias, Cortinas,Corsairs. I was never that into them as such, they were just a stop gap till I could get something American which was what I wanted from day one. So no desire to revisit my past in that respect.

Re: Fast fords ?
I love that Ford are still doing these bonkers high performance versions of their crappy family saloons.
No-one will believe you...
Re: Fast fords ?
Bought this new 10 years ago, and it's still my daily driver in the summer.

Re: Fast fords ?
Only had three Fords over the years and I wouldn't say any of them were "fast".
They were "OK" but not *particularly* special? They didn't give me the silly smile I get when I open the garage and see the back end of my mopar. Glad I've been there and tried it because you always wonder "what if" if you don't try things, but I think the box has been ticked so not too fussed about having another. Certainly not the UK stuff anyway.
The only aspect of ownership I really didn't like is some of the shady charactors coming up to you every five minutes trying to buy the thing. I always wondered if they'd still be in the carpark when I came back!
What surprised me the most is given how popular they seem to be (pardon the pun) that the spares avaliability is awful? Weird.
