Default Congratulations to Ford

I would like to congratulate Ford on such a magnificant effort at the brissy Motor show. I can't believe how much better the Ford Stand was than it's competitors. Was outstanding and had a really good feel to it.

Well done

Brendan

agree 100% with you on that brendan24688..
I kept walking back to the Ford area and really found the Holden section to be quite dull.... (and no, its not me just being biased - well, maybe a little) :

I know it was addictive. I was shocked usually Holden put on a good show but Ford felt so much better, and very family orientated, but also very encouraging for young enthusiasts.

If you can all wait until tuesday (I know, stupid question), I should have a few. Is there any Aston's there? Dying to see a DB9 Vanquish in the flesh.

I avoided the Toyota stand. Putting all your 4WD vehicles at the front of the display really doesn't help the younger generation.

Ford's stand was great. Bit cramped though, that was my only gripe.
