Default Ford Forums Banner

Fellow FF members,

I would like to request that in the FF banner we could have a wider spread of glorious Fords,

At present we have 2 AU's and an FG, but I was thinking that we could delete one of the AU's and add an XR-XF series model since this is where the roots of the company were forged. Now I know that this might anger some of you AU owners but your model might not even exist had it not been for the all conquering XY.

I have added a poll and if you could select your preference with a view to asking Admin/mods to update this that would be great.

I voted for XR-XY which I believe to be fairly biased but hey :

Regards,

Gasaxe

I think we need an EA, a Festiva, and an Econovan.

Festiva?
I think you mean a Ka. Or maybe a late 80s Telstar?

Oh, I forgot about those! Or we could have a Corsair. They're sick.

Having not one but TWO AUs in the banner shows that pretty much any Ford can be put up there :P

Cheers thanks for the link, Early in that thread someone said 'should have put this in the pub'

Maybe then I would have noticed the thread and posted in it.

Mods..your call.

It's actually got 1 AU and 1 FG. The AU is the same car but mirrored. Throw in an XY!!!

i voted xr-xy, but would also love to see a coupe up there, and even an xe esp, in my opinion the AU used is ugly, if we have to have 2 AUs use 2 different ones
