Scoobynet is a forum for car enthusiasts that happen to own or have an interest in some way with Subaru vehicles.

99.9% are very open minded and share that same enthusiasm for other marques and performance cars alike. This includes Fords and any other marque.

If you dont like this thread, dont comment.

For the record, the new RS focus will destroy any of the current Subaru offerings in 99% of situations, and its better built and better looking.

But i leave you to find that out if you ever find one at the traffic light GP

Pete

Agree with Frayz, having owned many Fords (Cossies) you,d be suprised at HOW embarrassing they can make ALOT of cars look performance wise AND remember thye,re 20+ yrs old now.

I take it you,ve never been to National Day and watched some of the countires finest/fastest Fords destroying most things on track...??

I,m not here to knock any make of car, i,m a car enthusiast and appreciate the time/money/effort that people put into there pride and joy, even it,s if a sooped up Corsa...Lol..

That's the beauty of free speech Frayzzzzzzzzzzzzzz people can say what they like and that even includes you.

TBH a lot of peeps on here couldnt give 2 funks about Fords, Kites or RCs

Personally I dont care if the Ford is the best car on the planet I'd still rather have a Scoob but thats my choice

Tiny

Interesting topic this one & one I'm sure we are going to read alot more about as the new RS gets launched early 09 , Please lets try & keep this civilised rather than a slanging match

Not at all

I would have to completely disagree with that. How anyone can call a Ford better looking than a Scoob I don't know...
I can think of plenty of cars I'd like to be next to at traffic lights, but a Ford, sadly, isn't one of them!

Why on earth would I want to waste my time and money on watching that rubbish? I've plenty of better things to do thank you!

What he said ^

No problem


BTW the dented chavalier is now a bit more dented!!

I wonder what the reliability of them are though, what with Fords 'let the customers be our R&D' approach.

I would not touch a new Ford now, what with the problems I had with my Transit (bearing in mind it is a commercial vehicle, and as such, is 'supposed' to be reliable). W@nky approach to the way the front discs are fitted, meaning you need a specialist press to take the wheel bearing off to remove a brake disc , the way that Ford fitted dual mass fly wheels, which (incidentally in their design) throw all the crap from the degrading flywheel into the starter motor, causing problems there and then Ford replacing the flywheel on the newest models to the original solid flywheel, because they now know there are problems then there is the problem with the fuel pumps, yes sir, that is circa £900 - £1100 for a new pump fitted, because it needs programming to your ECU ........ Something stinks, and I believe it really is the lack of R&D at Ford.

So with that in mind, they may be good off the lights at the traffic light GP ........... But for how long.


Don't even get me started with Fords !!!

Oh and aren't they trying to squeeze money out of the US government at the moment as well? Are any of the Japanese car companies doing this with their Governments ?

How did NS 'I am now a moderator' 04 manage to become one

Thanks for clarifying, bit makes me onder whether they (IB) know what they are doing with VBulletin, if they can't just change the font colours over for the mods (And I do know it's not that hard to do .

The last I heard was that Fords along with GM & Chrysler had gone to the Senate to ponce $25 billion to keep them afloat

Now as Fords like to use their Customers for R&D that may leave little use for places like Dunton

Must be like that broken sticky button eh Tiny
