Sold my GT today to a guy who restores cars. I am now without a Ford for the first time in 15yrs, Ive ended up with 5 VW's instead.
And I am fine with it.
Dont know if it is just me or not, but the love just isnt there for me anymore. I am actually happy I don't have to deal with dumbshits who think they know more about my car than I do (or did), and I havent really enjoyed being a Ford owner since the glory days of BA's. My FG was fun, but it was stale, my AU's were awesome and I'll probably buy another one day, but for now I am happy without the pissing contest between GT owners, the stories of 'my mates dads uncles brothers sisters boyfriend' who owned a one off super special secret turbo V8 4wd XR8, and the general attitude towards it.
In contrast, my VW's I enjoy, I am starting to like them more and more, are they the same as the Fords? No, of course not. The most involvement I have in that community is a facebook page about Amaroks, I spend more time cleaning the Passat than driving it but I like it once it's done. Part of that is me moving into a different stage of my life (I'm a dad now, running 2 businesses, uni degree almost done and spare time is a thing of the past), but part of it is just wanting something different. Never ever thought I would not have a Ford V8 in the shed, well after Friday I dont.
