OK,

Who is the guy?

In the list of reverred heros from the blue oval. Who is the one you hold special?

For me,

Moffat, Goss and Hansford. Three for the price of one.

Glenn Seton, very fast but clean and fair. Totally committed but never ruthless. A genuinely nice guy to boot.

A Ford man through and through, though for many his finest hour was at the wheel of a Nissan. But you could say that about a lot of people.

I've been a Lowndes fan since 1994, but he's made it awfully difficult for me to cheer for him this year.

Between Bo and Pete.

Probably Pete, but Bo was often the better driver, certainly had more fastest laps at Bathurst.

Another one to consider is Bruce, and I thought Bill was pretty good, though hard on the bodywork when things went wrong.

Yes definitely Bo.

And Pete, didn't something bad happen to him??

I don't mean the Valiant thing.

Then Bo's boy.

ummmm...while not a big ford fan ..they have produced some very good drivers...Moffat was good,as was DJ I guess..but i never really liked them that much ..Seton (Glenn) is also very good and I quite like Larkham...but now Lowndes is the man and i like him no matter what he drives..and then there is Cam mcLean and paul Weel

Well Dick was always my favourite when I was a kid, so I guess he gets the prize.

All of them

I would have to go with Dick Johnson as my favorite.I grew up watching him.

Greg Hansford (rip) was also a very good driver,

and Mark Larkham, good driver and nice bloke

And i better say Moffat as well

It would have to be out of fellow Tasmanians, John Bowe, Marcus Ambrose and John Goss.

All very good open wheel drivers and winners in Touring Cars

John Goss is the only driver to win the Australian Grand Prix and Bathurst, a pretty handy double. Although it was a Holden V8 in his Matich when he won the AGP at Sandown.
