You go to Pickles damaged car auction, in Adelaide the ratio of wrecked Holdens to Fords is 20 to 1.

Lets face it, if holden didnt have a commodore, they would be stuffed...and the same could prob be said for the falcon.

Ford mistakes?
Meteor, cortina
Escort, especially the panel van

But alas, i wont sink to the lowest common denominator and join the knucklehead bashing...this lil nugget has learnt his lessons of previous times :

The Escort was a very well built car and very quick. Try Driving one before dissing it, 30 years and they still work of the original motor

Actually the Taurus was runner up COTY in the states, and actually sold more than any other car than the Explorer so Ford Oz thought it might work here. Just like Holden thought the Monaro would work over there.

Seriously though, the Diehards at Holden are in Denial. Not for nothing but I've personally noticed that their is a much higher proportion of socialists or communists; (commies) that are Holden fans i.e. Bob Carr has Holdens, Greg Combet (ACTU) drives Holdens, Doug Cameron (Union Stooge) drives Holdens, and pretty much any feral shacka or yobbo is in love with Holden. Mind you some great people drive Holden too, my point is that they receive a bad name for the notoriety of a few less desirables.

Their seems to be a lot of petty jealousy and judging by the severe lack of grammar, I am guessing the level of maturity on this Holden website your BF visited is not that significant.

For a start, one or two of the jokes referred to "retards". Funnily enough this same person goes on to say "your"; a pathetic attempt to abbreviate you are. If I remember correctly it was primary school when I and most other people learnt the difference in English class. Obviously a number of contributors to their (not there) website mustn't (must not) have attended. Pathetic indeed.

The jokes are sadly rebadged jokes that have simply substituted whatever make for whatever their arguement is....... Much the same as Holden rebadging Daewoo's and selling them as a Holden product.

To all of those with an IQ less than 60 who think that grammer is the old woman in the front room of the house, the joke is in you. Sex in a Holden? Ouch, you've got our measure (although most Ford owners have enough class to pay for a room).

Here's (here is - drop the i and insert the hyphen) one undeniable Ford Fun Fact; 1400 job losses in local branch, parent company going chapter 11, billions of dollars in civil liability law suits throughout the USA, and not having won an award for design in years; I guess the humour would pay homage to the old adage of "laughing in the face of adversity".

Oh, and I couldn't resist a response for the tampon one so:

What do Holden drivers and Tampons have in common?
They're both uptight little c*nts

I think the main point has been missed, Ford people should be grateful for Holden people and Holden People should be glad for Ford People, cause without each other, we would all probably be driving around in Toyota's thinking oh what a wonderful day...

NOW THAT would be SAD...

I love "friendly" jokes, its just sad when a person who has no affiliation apart from driving a brand name vehicle, cracks the sada at nothing more than a slight ribbing, I mean if you have major shares or some sort of econimical interest in the brand then "maybe" fair enough...the way I see it, basically we are enthusiasts, and I for 1 would be shattered if either Ford or Holden went BYE BYE's cause I sure know the people from Honda, Toyota and Mitsubishi bloody dont have a sense of Humour....

Yeah I was about to say something like that.

I mean its a bit hypocritical when you think about it.

You guys are just as bad as the Holden guys giving Fords guys crap on a Holden forum.

Sorry if I come across a "Biased" ***** but it is very hypocritical judging by all the Holden slandering in this thread.

Yet the hypocritisy strikes again. _

What about the Ford dudes I see at Centrelink everytime I go down the street?

You should really be telling both sides because you damn well know its the same with Ford guys and not just Holden guys.

Atleast I can admit that alot of Holden guys are ****ers and I hate being put into the "Bogan Holden Owner" category.

Ford people who say crap on holden forums are just plain idiots.

Likewise vice versa, but ive seen members from here go on there and say some silly things.

I do notice more attitude from the usual stereotypes on the road (VL / VN P platers) than from say an XF / EA P plater.

fair enough if this was a ford and holden performance forums but its not and when its just a ford site its a one way street youll always get more people ripping into you than complementing you on these sites and you will just have to live with that or go join a combined forum like this one below.

This is not a one way street. The Admins set the policy here, and the TOC; and Holden drivers Will be treated with as much respect as Ford drivers and any other forum user. If you want to throw your weight around and tell people "how it is" go back and do it on your own forum.

OOOkay. Perhaps a little bit of tolerance here will go a long way.
People are entitled to their opinions. Respect that. If you can't respect that don't bother coming back. The attitude being displayed here is appalling.
It would do a lot of people to remember that one of the Admins here, me, owns a Holden as well as the Fords.
