I even see the odd one sitting beside a farm shed from the train as we drive along. Chev trucks were sold here in decent numbers, but you simply don't seem to see them just rusting away in a paddock. Now, of course there were probably less Chev trucks sold than F100's, but you know...

Yeap the only thing that lingers longer in the car world then a Ford F100 in a paddock is a Sigma. They spend several years as paddock bashers, have two or three non essential parts pulled from the mechanical (you know pistons and stuff), reregistered and back on the road. If the Sigma is in Beige or yellow it somehow becomes indestructible. I wish it weren't the case, but they are true survivors. Examples will still be going long after the Magna that succeeded it are long gone.
My apologies to Anto in advance for mentioning the Sigma, which is clearly not a Ford product.
