Great people and great products are the most important ingredients in making a great company. At Ford Australia, I am very fortunate to have great products to sell and great people to lead.

Congratulations on your new site and thanks for your support of Ford.

I drop in for a read and maybe a post there once a week (read the 20 new threads or so and leave).
Its a quiet site but it has a good community feel, very little bitching and they are all frendly enough. I wont bag them at all, they are not too bad and certainly have the right colour badges on their cars. I dont see them as competition at all, just another group of Ford guys who are happy doing what they are doing.

I am also a member of both forums, and like this one, the guys that are there are true blue blooded fans, you just cannot go wrong with that?
