Can the
OP confirm Ford's argument is not that the damage was a result of that day at the drags, rather their stance is that day at the drags proves you mis-treat vehicles and as such they will not honour the warranty?
If that is the case then does that mean if the
OP also had say a Mondeo for a daily drive then they would not honour warranty on that either based on how he drives his XR8?
And for how long after that day at the drags will the
OP be blacklisted with Ford? If he goes and buys another XR8 later this year will they honour warranty on that?
For how long after going to the drags is it presumed you have an unsatisfactory driving manner?
Wouldn't be wise to put their hand up right now but how many members here would fall into this 'not-covered' classification? How many are pulling photos and PM'ing mods to delete ETs etc
