The Blue Oval and the Red Lion , tribal warfare , good natured insults , respect begrudging or otherwise , even admiration . God Forbid some even bat for both sides owning a mix of each brand .GOT TO LOVE IT.
I recall reading some posts on a Holden Forum site around the time of Ford closing the doors and a whole thread was devoted to Ford comments from the Holden crew .Was just browsing out of pure curiosity . Overwhelmingly was the sensation of loss of a friendly rival and that rivalry made both companies lift their game with the performance offerings over the years . Pretty true I'd say. On our own AFF this has certainly been reciprocated since Holden pulled up stumps late last year . Kind of sad that time will see the end of the golden years of the Blue v Red battle as we knew and loved it . Might get a rebirth to a degree if the Camaro one day gets sold here in a meaningful way , maybe , kinda , sorta although if Holden falls to bits like some are predicting that might be increasingly unlikely . |
