Hello, all...
I'm a product copywriter within the Ford Communications department, assigned to Transit Connect. I have created most- if not all - of the media-directed copy for Transit Connect for the Feb. 09 Chicago Auto Show introduction, National Truck Equipment Association show support, April 09 New York International Auto Show including TC Taxi and TC Family One concept vehicle, launch sales momentum and other TC related press releases.
Transit Connect has been both an interesting career opportunity, as well as an area of personal interest for me.
My 21-year old son is deep into Honda CB750 cycles from the '70's. He wants a Transit Connect to haul his motorcycles...and as support vehicle for his 1950 Ford V-8 Tudor.
Thirty years ago, I funded much of my college expenses doing British car and air-cooled Volkswagen repair. To this day, I still own 3 Microbuses.
I can't look at a Transit Connect without seeing a Westfalia style pop-top grafted into that tall roof. Call it my own 3-year plan.
What's my angle? Fair question....
I'm here to listen to the discussions, and offer clarity when I'm able. Please remember that I'm here as an enthusiast . No one "assigned" me to participate. Don't bother nailing me to the cross because there are no current TC manual shift or diesel options. I'm just a product copywriter. And I want these things, too!
That said, I do plan to make the "powers that be" aware of the trends and prevalent opinions that surface here. Consider me an enthusiastic listener, but most importantly a "full on" Transit Connect geek.
Congratulations to all that have acquired a Transit Connect.
Let's roll!
