On the name of  Ford Focus .. over the years I have  picked up some   word play on the names of cars ... guess some  .. some  are obvious .. have fun..

Dustbin Cripple S
Fraud Concertina
Toyota Landcrusher
Ford  ... Focus ? well Foc you too
Ford ...  Icon .. and  you cant ..
Fiat Uno .. Uno het jy 'n klomp kak gekoop
Oops I appear to be  doing a bit of Ford bashing here   
the rest escape my mind at the moment  although i drove Citroens for many years  .. citrus .. and yes one could say that some of them were definite  lemons ..  my first club was ..
furthermore  my Opel kadetts although feisty and  fast .. were both troublesome at times .. including post delivery  brand spanking new  problems ...

My new CLIO I Bought despite the swathe of bad  reports from my mechanic Winston  telling me not to touch Renault .. has been totally fault free . not one glitch .. and yes I do not roll cars ...
If one ever wants good old fashioned  personal mechanic attention I  can recomend Winston  one of the old school of  service  providers .. .  he always sees a way around a problem and looks for the most cost effective way of solving a problem ,, if you want personal service just ask me for his contact details ...

F.I.A.T.............Fix It Again Tomorrow

[SandyB]

Hah ! yu got my mind pumping  .. First In All Troubles   although they have like so many manufacturers  come to the qulaity party .. strangely enough  some leading manufacturers had severe problems but seemed to have  a sort of blind loyalty that carried them through .. others got picked on ..

I drove a blue " Ford Carrera " my porche for many years,loved it untill the passengers floor fell out. 

[Rhona]

Was there anyone in it when the floor fell out?

[SandyB]

Oh Dear another ford bashing .. Ford Sierra ..  Freestate Ferrari ...

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

 202  No Rhona....I still had the cheek to drive it with no floor. It was a real rust bucket....cried when I sold her,yes we did get money for her.

[SandyB]

At least you saved on using the aircon ...

Fix or Replace Daily.... FORD

This is my 5th Ford actually and has served me well

1st Ford Escort 1.6
2nd Ford Cortina 2.0
3rd Ford Sierra 2.0
4th Ford Sierra Station Wagon 2.0
5th Ford Focus 2.0

I must point out that I am not from Parow or white trash so don't ask me how it happen, but I think I have enough of FORD's for this life time

[Michele Alexander (Voden)]

  - Hey, enough of the Ford bashing - I quite like my Ford Fiesta "mom's taxi" and the answer is NO David - you may not borrow it!

My dad was a Ford man - big time - i'll always remember his bright red T-shirt with a picture of a Ford on it with the saying "Old Fords never die, they just go faster"...........we had a 1955 beige Ford with white leather seats - what possessed him to get white with 3 kids, i'll never know.  Anyway, this old car took us all over SA on our holidays each year - there was always a fight between us 3 kids as to who was going to sleep on the back "dashboard" while travelling- it was big enough that a kid could lie on it with the sun warming the bones with the lull of travelling rocking you into a gentle sleep. My mom always had to intervene and allocate turns to make it fair. I have good memories of that old car.
