I like Holdens and Fords but I like Holdens more cause I have been a huge Commodore fan all my life dont get me wrong the Falcons are pretty cool aswell,I had the chance to get my parents Immaculate EB Wagon but I went for a VL instead cause I love the Commodores.

Nothing wrong with Fords I would just choose a Holden before a Ford thats all.

It's time that more people realise that Ford have a good product.
and im sick of people that think ford are the only cars around and nothing can be compared to it, get over yourself, holden make very good cars and so do ford, why can't most people admit that, i have at my house and drive quite often a VT, EL and an EB and also drive my mates VR when he's ****ed. all these cars are very fine pieces of machinery and don't care which one is better because they each have their differances which is what makes them unique.

As long as ford and holden have cars in australia i'll be a happy man, and to the ones that think one is better then the other....you got no idea about cars! it means you have tunnel vision!

I might get shot down in flames for this but even today I still like the look of the VK Brock Commodores (yes it's ture ) and at the same time I'm still getting over the fact the ford built the AU but in all I love the BA

But thats where you're wrong.... I don't really have anything against fords, I just love sticking it to those one eyed people who constantly bag Holdens on here and carry on about how good fords are because some magazine said so.......etc etc...
It is also great entertainment, some of the responses bring tears of laughter to my eyes.
Besides, it is good to have somebody on the red side here to set the record straight, as some people might actually believe some of the garbage written here about Holdens..

Cheers.

Spruike it long enough and you may even believe it yourself. See your postings of not 24hrs ago, they are the work of an empty mind not an open one.

As for setting the record straight there are more than a few Holden guys here that swap valuable information, they are more than welcome and their post enjoyable to read.

If you want to visit starting flame wars then claim the moral high ground well sorry, you have nothing valuable to say, your not setting any records straight and your wasting time effort and bandwidth with your nonsense.

There is anti Holden feeling on AFF, and nonsense like your posts regarding comparative interiors will not whip it up.

Its not your preference in car but rather your attitude that other people find distastefull, want to clean up one make bigotry then go clean it up on your side of the fence. The Ops and Admin here can run a fair and open forum here without your eyed gallantry thanks rick. Folk are laughing at you not with you learn the distinction!

yatteda yatteda another mindless Vs topic.

True hurts don't it. You only ever put your opinions on Holdens as correct and anyone who likes Fords is wrong. Most Ford people on here can admit when Holden have done something good, but you will never ever praise Ford for anything. You are the most one eyed person on this site. Maybe you would be better off posting your dribble over on LS1.
