he can't contain himself in this one... the difference (or should I say, preference) is so black and white.

Gover is on Holden's payroll or he's way to biased to be a credible journalist and makes a mockery of the profession.
Either way he should not be in the job. |

HE actually spoke highly of the egas falcon and Focus. Seems his e-boner gets in the way when he's behind his keyboard. Can't see or think clearly.

Ford gave valid reasons for canceling the Focus build. All he has to do is read them.
Motoring in Australia thankfully doesn't live or die by Gover's pen. |

I dont dignify that site with a mouse click. By writing this crap he gets guys like us reading his drivel - they get more advertising bucks and so he writes some more .... and so round goes the big wheel and we're back where we started.

So let me get this straight, he opens one article by stating that Ford Australia are in a bad shape because they have had 3 CEO's in 3 years, yet in an another article he basically applauds GMH for the same thing?
While I will not suggest he is on GMH's payroll, I will suggest that he is well and truley biased, and SHOULD be held accountable. NOT GOOD ENOUGH HERALD SUN.

Leave the poor dear alone.
He is obviously distraught at the loss of another Holden MD, Quote "I am going to miss Mark Reuss." Now he's got no one to talk too.

This is all a bit ridiculous. Thankfully, the future of Ford Australia and Detroit doesn't depend on this keyboard warrior.

I would rather un ban every person that has been banned in the last 5 years than entertain reading dribble from that clown, good or bad, he proved years ago that if you don't buy him a steak sandwich for lunch then the best your going to get is nothing more than rubbing deep heat on your groins...

Holden management has had about the same turnover as Ford in recent years, yet Gover highlights this about Ford and overlooks the same from Holden.
What "exciting new things" have Holden got? A new crate motor or 2 from the US? A new Korean model to push the standards down from the car it replaces? (Astra and Viva).

Carsguide is too often all tripe.
Gover continues to write with his red crayon, while 'Ask Smithy' is nothing but a section for people to complain about their Fords most weeks. The best way to form an opinion is to drive a car yourself. Media outlets too often have an agenda.
