I only have to turn the key and i enjoy it. But a good blat on a bendy road does the trick for me. Or getting out of the missus' pulsar aswell

for me it is giving it a quick clean, spraying air freshener and lending it to a mate. The enjoyment on their face is priceless.

Listening to the sweet idle, then taking it for a drive on a road that I know has a nice rockface that I can hear the Windsor reverb off. Mmmmmm

Driving the work ute all day then coming home to drive my own cars, makes me appreciate them so much more and wonder how the hell i would cope with a "sensible car" as my mum would put it.

Then peel the tyres off the things :Reverend:

Being at sea for 4 weeks at a time with NO car, the F6 sure feels sweet after that.

The endless amount of comments from holden supporters that sit in my leather seats and say, "this is a ford? jeez...ford are allright!"

Followed by the looks on VS/VT/VX auto drivers that think they are the quickest things out, untill they get owned by me in "some ford".
