How Long Have You Owned A Ford?

Featured Replies

How long have you owned a Ford? I reckon I've had mine going on seven years now. I'm not sure, I've lost all insurance details and information for the car, and there's a possibility it was stolen in the first place. I'm also going blind in my left eye and tend to trail off topic randomly in long conversations. Did you guys see that movie last night?

Anyways, going back to my original topic. Can anyone suggest a good eye surgeon, or should I just take the thing out with a spoon?

I have had fords for 11 years. But, I am being really tempted to the dark side called the Fiat 500.

I have had Fords since 2001, love em

take it out with a spoon and put it in the jar next to your brain

Had a G reg 1.1 fiesta for 6 years, only thing that ever went on it was the stearing coupling, turned to the dark side ( a vauxhall cavalier 1.7 TD for about 5 years ) and came back to a 1.4 fiesta zetec 1.4 last year...hope it's as good as the first one! * ok ok i only did it for the cheaper road tax*

First one I owned was a Zodiac in 1960. Tokk an hour just to polish the chrome and did nearly 18mpg. I have a Mony V6 Ghia x now with Granadas, escorts and Cortinas in between. Oh! and a Vauxhall 101 :(

First car was a Mk2 Fiesta, which I owned for 8 months in 1994. Sold that when I bought my house in 1995. Had a break till 2003 when I bought a Mondeo TDi which I kept till 2004. Then I got my current Focus TDDi in June 2004.
