Do you own a Ford?

Post by Tonysmedley »

If you own a Ford car, look at

http://www.etis.ford.com/vehicleSelection.do

and enter your VIN number.
It will tell you more about your car than you ever knew!
Click on Minor features to see where it was built

Very interesting Tony.

Mine was built in Valencia.

It doesn't yet know that I bought two new tyres yesterday, but I suppose it is just a matter of time.

As I grow older and more senile, I will have to rely on websites like these to find out who the hell I am!

Now I just need to find my own personal VIN.

Cheers
Mike

If you own a Ford car,
Is it now socially acceptable to admit to it?

I have been told that the type of information that can be gained from this could be used in criminal activity.
and should be withdrawn.
