I was surprised Ford didn’t continue with the Crusader theme, just to annoy PC types if nothing else. How about a Sierra Ethnic Cleanse GL, or a Mondeo Religious Genocide Ghia?

Having not studied the history of the Anglican church, I assume a crusade was an excuse to steal off or kill other people using religious beliefs as an excuse. ?

Remind me not to be on your team in a Pub Quiz.

A crusade is different to The Crusades.

The fact the Cortina had a Crusader soldier sticker on it and that Henry Ford was a famous racist and an inspiration to Hitler, I suspect the Ford U.K. marketing team were targeting Daily Express readers rather than Randy Crawford fans with this.

Okay, it's been painted the worst colour known to man, but was it least a high-quality professional job from a decent classic car restorer?

Oh, never mind

More to the point, The Crusades predated the Anglican church by several hundred years.

In the late 1970's early 80's I was a Member of The Crusaders group at our local Methodist cult/church.

Until I lost my religion circa 1981 age 14. 

It seems they are still going.  Probably a good thing they changed the name.

Lost mine around the same age, but about 7 years earlier. My families version of the cult was Assemblies of God Pentecostal. My attempt at speaking in tongues when I was 10 was celebrated as though I had just achieved a masters degree.

I loved my parents, but they were totally deluded, and left me completely unprepared for adult life in the real world that everyone else lives in.

They did mean well though.

 

How did we get from ebay to here ? 😁
