[(RIP) PLANK]

I agree extreme, its certsinly food for thought and its not the first time it has cropped up, maybe something for the future?

ford do a few other 4x4's including a ranger pick up and a big v6 auto gas guzzler called and explorer? thers a ford transit county 4x4, and probably many more, I remember briniging this up a couple of years back if we acept the new ford maverick (mazda) as a valid members vehicle, then why not a ford ranger (mazda)?

I am a member of 2CVGB which is one of the largest an longest running car clubs and they are open to 'friends of the 2cv' you don't even have to own one just be interested!

or did you just mean whats the diffrenece in the banner?:lol

Hi Plank I started off just meanin the banner but now you mention it .....
I couldnt care a monkees who joins. They pay £10 squid and bobs your uncle and fanny's your aunt!

certainly had mazda tribute based ford mavs here, cameraman for one.

opening up the coverage has been raised under old and new owners...

on the subject of the explorer, has anyone ever seen one close to off
road. my memory is pulling one and its caravan of a very muddy rally
field..bit of a convoy. dont think they new how to engage 4wd or had
slick / road tyres. sure theres lots modded in states. think downfall here
has been the 4.0 v6 and no derv version.

I had a good look at one before the T2 but the 4L petrol put me off:augie

yep plus for such a big bus, no 7 seat option, guess could retro fit.

do like the yank still, the step bumper etc, plenty of bits if you
import em. v6 would be nice on gas, big boot for tank.

cant help thinking that pr disaster ford has with firestone tires on
these and other models didnt help either. think they will be slush
boxes too which puts many brits off for some reason.

[makeitfit]

Oh!

Right what's occurin'?
I see today the banner HAS changed and I no longer have a ford on it!What's occurin BAT?

 

[supertaff]

I think that as long as people take an interest in the club, and are prepared to pay the subscription, thus adding to the financial security of the club, I'm sure that a forum for non Nissan/Mavericks could be opened. Many members go offroading in non Nissan/Mav
trucks anyway.

out of interest this is to a photo of a 'real' ford maverick, can we have new members with these? :thumbs

And yes for all you old members I have said this before, there is even a photo in the gallery!
