Default Where do Ford fans go?
Now that the 3 major after market car part companies are sponsering Holdens (supercheap,autobarn,repco) where do we go to support our car sponsers?
I tried Betta Elect but they did not have a boot mat for me!

Which ever is the cheapest, sorry but I'm not that superficial, at the end of the day if it's good and cheap it will do me.

They sponsor the V8's and that's good enough for me!

I'll shop at any one of them because of that and in preference to someone who doesn't sponsor the V8's

I'll let you in on a little secret - the cars are near identical anyway and have nothing to do with whats available at your dealership.

I just go to my nearest spares place and get what I need ... there's a decent SuperCheap near my place .. and there's also a new Repco just opened as well ... ad they have a Massive range in their new store ... nicely decked out too.

just go to a carpet joint and get some offcuts - you will have enough boot mats to do 10 cars and it still wont cost you as much as one from a car store :hihi:

I have traditionally bought Shell products like my oils due to their sponsorship of Fords, yes.

I do note what companies sponsor the teams I support, but at the end of the day, if I am getting an inferior product or it's unavailable in that brand, I am not too proud to buy elsewhere if the need arises.

Does Autobahn still sponsor Craig Lowndes now, or will his face disappear from their ads on tv?
