Rodge while I understand it was a typo and subject to a speed read misread, it is unfortunately true that there has been insufficient protection and too much neutering....

It is a sad time with a big chunk of Australian culture and history being left behind......the whole Holden/Ford thing is so ingrained in many generations (though I'd question todays) by our fathers and our fathers fathers it's like ripping out a bit of that it means to be Australian to many....and thats nothing to do with Holden ads. Another sorry nail in our cultural coffin.
