Here is the reply from the law firm involved:

"Ford is not trying to shut down the entire website, just stop the
counterfeiting of its trademarks. If the Ranger Station wants a license it
needs to seek one from Ford.

But I don't think Ford will license some of the images, particularly the
naked woman straddling the Ford Blue Oval. See attached.

As you can see, the Ranger Station is not telling the entire story while
seeking your support.

I hope that you will post Ford's position on the various discussion boards.

Thanks,"

So i looks like it is an issue over selling licensed products, verses the name "ranger" in the site name. Hopefully the owner of the site and the law firm can work something out. I don't think the owner of the website did this with malice.

I have been in touch with scott and he is honestly looking into this. I don't think the members of ford itself, knew this was about to happen. Hopefully we can give them a chance to see why this law firm decided to go after the website. I have looked at the website and they do not sell any ford parts, they are just an enthusiast site, so they are not in any violation of the law. (In my humble Opinion)
