Sad Day For Ford Drivers

HoT-AU · 30-09-2007, 02:54 PM

I know not all of us are, dare i say stupid, but someone today really crushed me. Now i have a huge problem with moron sticking chev badges on there holden. That really ****es me off. But today topped it all.

Driving up my road i see a BA xr6, non turbo, blue, with a mustang badge. Yes i giant chrome horse on the front grille where the ford badge should be

: . i turned the raido off, and sat there contemplating pulling over, and im not exaggerating. Now i understand its his car and he can dowhat ever he wants to it, but please. There is a line.

If the guy is on this site. i hope u read this. U hurt me today. lol

Lets face it though.. BA's are so common now that they are getting to the point of desperation to stand out.
Its the old "rock and a hard place" problem. Look like a tool.. or look like a million other sales reps

:

(for all the BA guys out there who just got offended.. its a joke, get over it.)

I have a soft spot for T series AU's, and a dislike for most badges anyway. If I were to remove the Ford emblem from my grille, nothing would replace it.

HoT-AU · 30-09-2007, 03:05 PM

i know what ur saying casper. i agree. Just a shame to do somthing soooo foolish.

Bucknaked · 30-09-2007, 03:09 PM

Who cares if he puts a mustang badge on his car. I think most people can spot the difference between a mustang and a Falcon.

Maybe he just likes the shiny mustang badge. Badging a car with something that it's not, isn't new. Theres been a few cars on this forum that have done the same. FPV badges on AU's, Ticky badges on fortes and FPV badges on XT's. I agree, it is wrong, but at the end of the day, i really don't think its that big a crime. Each to their own I guess.

poolkeeper · 30-09-2007, 03:21 PM

Not as bad as this guy atleast

HoT-AU · 30-09-2007, 03:23 PM

lol the tickford badge is the most beautiful thing to grace a ford. lol agreed bucknaked each to there own.

HoT-AU · 30-09-2007, 03:26 PM

O M G, that is the funniest thing i have ever seen in my entire life. That man does not deserve a car. end of story. he should drive a moped or walk.

J.C. · 30-09-2007, 03:33 PM

Well, we have all leanrt something today and that is " some Ford owners aren't all that bright". Personally, I wouldn't do such a thing but it takes all types to keep the world aturnin' .... so they say.

From my experience, I have also learnt that with the shake of your head and calling him a drip under your breathe and in the safety and comfort of your own car, life still goes on.

But, in saying that, I agree with the majority. THE LAD NEEDS A GOOD SLAPPIN' ..... and a reality check.

Cheers.

VladTepes · 30-09-2007, 04:10 PM

Could be worse - he could have put a chev badge on the falcon.....

It's just like all the highly original types out there who stick a Mack truck bulldog on their 4wd. I have a 4WD Land Rover ute - guess what logo it has on it ? A Land Rover one....

and the problem with putting chev badges on a holden is what? most people know that holdens are mostly european designed with american discontinued engines in them, for example the 3.8L v6 found in the VN on is actually an east west motor from Buick that was discontinued in '84 due to problems....the V8 motors are chev motors....stands to reason why a holden driver would put a chev badge on his holden. but as for a BA owner putting a 'stang badge on his car.....not cool. yes its the same company...much like chev is to holden, but completly different names and standards. what was he thinking?!!!!

NC1183 · 30-09-2007, 05:11 PM

D1XR2C, i've got the original of that from one of the mischief videos.
What a tool, a Mustang with a rotary with pistons in it.

**CAT600** · 30-09-2007, 06:08 PM

Hypothetical:

If I were to put an SVT Cobra engine in my AU T-Series, would everybody slap me for putting a "chrome with red eyes" snake on the grill?

Yes.. twice!
Once for putting a cobra on a Falcon that doesnt have the factory "cobra" name... and the second time for wrecking a perfectly good T series by ripping out the engine. Keep the block number the same as the chassis. Mutations like that belong on non Tickford AU's.

(/me waits of all the non purists to have a mental!

Ha, you had better start rubbing your hands vigorously, so it does'nt hurt so much when you slap my cold, bloodless self.

Daniel

BTW, there is NO WAY i'm putting a Cobra emblem on a Falcon.

Actually, ashammd to say this boys.... well, errrr....it's actually mine before I moved to NSW from Vic and before I took out the turbo for a stock 6. yep stang badges now off and replaced for classic badge now but put a F6 bar on once I moved north.

Can i ask, why would you do that though, you seem to have some form of good taste with the f6 kit you put on it!?
