A very stupid move for Ford....
This site and the site name as been officially endorced by the Ford Motor Company. We have it in writing.. ;D
That is a shame and not good for Fords image. Ford enthusiats live, buy the Ford and die by the Ford, a little courtesy is nice in return. I know fordpinto.com recieved an endorsement, probably because (and I am assuming, I wasn't involved) 1) we went to them 2)it has been a long time since the bad publicity, so people have fond memories of the Pinto and 3) because the Pinto isn't being made anymore. With the recent movie about the intermittent wiper theft and the bad rap going on with the government buyout (one article talked about inferior American cars needing the American public to payout what the wouldn't purchase in the first place, with a picture of a Ford minvan) Anymore bad publicity and turning against your own is not a good thing. I guess the finiancial constraints they are feeling have them looking for money through attorneys, hey and didn't Carol Shebly have this going on with the Shelby Car club of America, and isn't he back with Ford? HMMMM, maybe he is behind this :lol:
Nothing like biting the hand that feeds you, As they say. I have always been a big FORD fan, but it makes you wonder what their thinking. That's what happens when lawyers get involved. :accident:
This just popped up on Club Cobra.
"A few years ago a 13 year old British girl was sued by Ford for having a site
about Jaguars (the big kitties, not the cars), and Ford wanted her to give up
the site because they said it infringed on their Jaguar trademark."
Before things get blown to bits again (I seem to remember a similar situation a few months ago) Please read the following threads:

I am glad they resolved it. I hope the people at TRS are able to get a reproduction license for the Stickers and such, so they can sell those again and help pursue some Income to maintain their site.
I couldn't get anywhere at trs, their 'forum is overloaded' and has been temporarily shut down.
