actually l looked her up when I read she bought a Speciale a while back and then even bought one of her albums... doing my part so she can buy the cars - good music too imoGood god.
'You've been selected for the opportunity to purchase a new ford..." Sorry but
When Ferrari do it, it's fine. When Porsche do it, it feels like a piss take. But ford? Have another
Selecting buyers based on their level of media whoring leaves as bad a taste as their shameful tactics at the last Le Mans 24h.

You wouldn't believe the number of people that do. I didn't want to go public with a yes or no at all yet but I've got to stop the thousands of incoming messages and comments. BaronVonVaderham said:

Well said.... It's pretty strange when original 05/06 GT owners who have kept the car when those with ahem..superior social media profile with nothing else linked to Ford historically have got allocations.I honestly believe that allocations were decided long before I bought the Focus RS, it was only 12 days from buying it to GT allocation email too, out of three months since my applications.
In any case, Ford want GTs to be used and I know very few people who put these cars through their paces more than I do; mileage, daily driving, events, road trips and track days. Not only that but of course I'll be sharing everything with a huge audience as a nice perk, but clearly not the only requirement as very few 'social' people got given allocations.
For what it's worth, I don't think many people who don't work for Ford have been at the world premiere in Detroit, the Le Mans introduction last year of the racecar and then spent the race weekend this summer with them too. That's not been an overnight thing, I've been building my brand relationship over a much longer period than you initially realise.

Congrats Tim! Any thoughts on colour choice yet? The grey looks menacing.
I've got a solid idea based on the online configurator but presumably there will be a lot more by way of options to come in due course. I'm not actually sure what happens next and when we can find out about delivery guesstimates etc, time shall tell.Ford seem to have missed something in their selection process since surely awarding a car to someone who changes their car (and loyalties) every few months is a very short term view and guarantees a heavily publicised delivery will be seen in the aftermarket very swiftly - maybe that was their intention
