Now, as many of you you know I'm from Australia and here there has always been a massive rivalry between Holden and Ford. Majorly because of our V8 Supercars racing series, (which if you haven't seen for whatever reason I highly recommend checking out). Now technically Holden doesn't really exist in the US and therefore hasn't made a huge appearance in GTA but Ford has! In GTA V the car manufacturer, Vapid, is the parody of Ford with all but just a few of their cars being Ford-based. I have compiled a list of all the cars I've found to be based off Ford from Vapid plus some extras from Bravado:
Cars in GTA V and their real life counterparts:
Vapid Bullet (Ford GT)
Vapid Dominator (Ford Mustang)
Vapid Sandking XL (Ford Super Duty)
Vapid Blade (1964 Ford Falcon)
Vapid Slamvan (1953-1956 Ford F-Series)
Bravado Rat-Truck (1920s Ford Model A pickup)
Bravado Rat-loader (1940s Ford pickup)
Vapid Hotknife (1934 Ford Model B)
Vapid Guardian (Ford F-650)
Vapid Sadler (Ford Ranger)
Vapid Peyote (Ford Thunderbird)
Vapid Stainer (Ford Crown Victoria)
Albany Buccaneer (Ford Fairlane)
Vapid Chino (1970s Ford Thunderbird)
Vapid Radius (Ford Edge)
Vapid Minivan (Ford Windstar)
Please remember that this is a non-exhaustive list, I very recently used my Warrener as Brian's Blue Ford Escort from Fast 6 so if you have a car that you think could pass as a Ford, including the Warrener, feel free to ask me.
The Colour Challenge:
Okay so we've got our Fords, now it's time for a little creativity
When you think about Fords 'Colours' they are traditionally Blue and White (Shelby cobras and Mustangs) So the challenge for this meet is to make the best colour combos you can out of only blues and whites. Now I know that doesn't leave too many colour variations so you'll have to be inventive to stand out. Try utilizing pearlescents OR combos between metallics with mattes OR classic colours OR use the matte/pearlescent glitch, there could be a lot more variations than you first thought!
:: EDIT ::
Please don't think you MUST use both blue and white. If you have a great blue and blue combo feel free to use that!

First of all big thanks to yangpanim for this and many other great meet ideas. I think every one of them will be awesome!

Event Activities:
It's been a trend of my recent events to mix up the proceedings a little bit and this one is no different! First we will meet at the location shown below, Obviously it's near Fort Zancudo
Once you join my crew session head here even if I'm not there, I'll probably be getting some establishing shots in a chopper or something. I want to make a video of this event so I'll ask that everyone is patient and respectful as I have some various shots that I want around this area. And there isn't an LSC close by so PLEASE try your hardest not to damage vehicles and no cops will also be greatly appreciated. Easiest way to do this is to drive as you would IRL..... Carefully, there's no rush!
And if you do attract unwanted attention I'd recommend have Ol' Uncle Lester on speed dial or take one for the team.
Next we'll be taking a trek across the map to the factory drag strip show below:
Now, I know this is a LONG drive so I will speed up the pace a little. This doesn't mean it's a race, we'll have plenty of that later, so no overtaking and be careful of what the person is doing in front of you because we all know what the AI traffic is like -.- Also notice I have marked an LSC along the route so if you need a repair you can do that here and then continue to the power plant being careful from then on Once everyone is there we do our drags in the same vehicles we had at the meet regardless of their draging capabilities, It's alright if you lose them all, we'll change vehicles soon. I just want as many shots as I can get with our "Fords". For this reason I would like it if everyone to participate and we swap out the starter regularly, and again lets try keep the cars clean, A few racing scratches are fine, they happen, just try and keep all four wheels on the thing
After we've had enough here I have a custom race close by that I'll go start and from here on the "Ford" portion of the meet is over so any vehicles are aloud in the races. I'll do it a few times with different classes of cars so keep hitting replay after each race and if you drop out for some reason wait for another invite to the next race.
After these races I'll jump out real quick and start a new crew session to assist anyone that drops in the future. Once that's done we'll go to LSIA in any car of your choice EXCEPT Supers please, at least for a little bit. I do want them eventually but we'll let the other cars have a chance before we unleash them. People say LSIA is boring, yes, you're probably right but I've never had a problem there BUT to change things up a little I'll say we drag on the other runway, (the North-South one). Never tried that one before so if it doesn't work as well we can just jump back to the other side.
We've recently needed the addition and increased the enforcement on some of our rules. In case you've missed them I'll repeat them real quick:
1. We don't crew kill.
If you see someone with the BULL tag, stay friendly.
2. Don't blow stuff up at meets, man.
It's GTA. Sometimes things go boom. That said, make many boom and I'll kick ya.
3. Don't bring the cops!
Cops are a pain. It's easy to bring some. It's easier for everyone else if you lead them away from the group and lose 'em.
4. Modder don't grief!
People are using the mod console online. It's a thing, it's happening. I look the other way so long as you're not using it to cause problems for other players. This includes people outside of the crew. If ANYONE contacts me about someone wearing a BULL tag and griefing a lobby or an individual player while using a mod console... Doneski, man. I'll kick ya out. We're not going to be known for that type of game play.
5. STOP! Collaborate, Listen.
The host runs the show at a Bullshifters event. If someone directs you to line up a certain way for drags, or park over here... over there. Whatever. For the love of all that is holy, please do it.
6. Weapons. Less is more.
B&. Assault rifles for stancing a vehicle is all that will be allowed. There is no reason to have weapons at a friendly event where no one is supposed to kill each other. Additional weapons may be allowed if we happen to enter a gang attack area so long as they are used for the sole purpose of completing the gang attack. Beyond those two exceptions... banned.
7. Clear the runway.
Touching back on rule 4, this one is mainly an addon for modders. The flagger is allowed a vehicle to elevate their position in order to be more visible. Besides the racers, the flag vehicle should be the only other vehicle on the drag strip. Modders, if vehicles are to be spawned, spawn them away from the runway and away from other vehicles.
ENFORCEMENT!
I like the two strike rule. I have faith that we are all at least fairly competent individuals. So, understand that if I take the time to message you about a violation of any of the above, you've got one strike. If I have to talk to you about the issue again, I'll just kick ya out. I don't like party poopers. That said, I don't want to have to worry about rule enforcement. We're all supposed to be here to have a good time. So just make like The Fonz and be cool. Still, I encourage members to message me about any issues.
These were all written by Ed but I am in 100% agreement with them and wont hesitate to "Swing the sword", they're pretty easy things to remember so I hope everything can go smoothly and everyone has fun! That is after all the point! Fun with friends without having to deal with difficult people. Let me know if you have any questions and if you want to come reply here of message me on R*SC: Jamie_WCE
Remember set your active crew to Bullshifters to join my closed crew session. Hope to see you all there!
