tell him to go to bathurst for a drive and just whatch the cars there giving short squirts on the track . it isn't hard to tell what sounds better and acceleration comparisons. but on 2nd thought . don't tell him because he will probably smoke up the fence at the side of the road.

I feel your pain, i have a friend(?) who used to drive a VN that constantly gives me crap that Holden are better, and that i should of bought a Calais/SS. No matter what i say to him, he just will not accept that Ford are any good. Happens mainly around other people just to arc me up. I dont care, i bought my car because that's the best car that fell into my price range, simple as that.

These people are not what i would label 'car enthusiasts' because they are so narrow minded to what cars they like. I'll appreciate a decent Holden, when it's obvious that the owner has put a lot of effort into it. I wish a lot of ****er Holden drivers would do the same with Fords, although this is what makes them ****ers in the first place. *Sigh* Just give up now mate. Some people are just f**knuts.

LOL thanks for the translation.

Grechie the best way to handle tossers like this is ignore them. 140Ks in the CBD says 2 things, first lying toad, secondly the probable 90Ks or so is dumb as.

You can ask but I doubt you'll ever get these dreamers to a track, go clock up a few time-slips, its easier to impress with the actual, leave you (ah-um) mate to the tall tales and true..

Grechie,

Mate as I'm a melb boy too, I see this kind of talk all the time LOL!
The amount of times I've come across chicks who's b/f's had "brain washed" them to believe every model holden is superior to the respective ford is ludicrous.

Oh, wanna hear some funny stories?

* Race from traffic lights to the "speed limit" 80 zone, my AUII ex-taxi has beaten numerous smart *** P platers from VB-VY, some only by a bee's dick but still, being beaten by a Ford taxi is the biggest insult to holden owners, and I love it !!!

You realise that then they will tell their mates they smoked you good - despite the fact they only beat you by 2 car lengths while you were using half throttle and revs
