Recently walked into "The Lions Den" a HSV goodies store in High Point, Maribyrnong, wearing my FPV gear. Picked out the jumper and T shirt my partner was after, and payed for them. Needless to say the sales assistant looked at me with some curiosity. I remarked that my partner and I needed to argue about something....

I get around in my Fiesta wearing my Fiat garage shirt. I just have to make sure I don't wear my Ford cap at the same time :P

I don't mind any type of car , Ford , GM , Chrysler etc. As long as it's got "some character" about it.

This is how I turned up at a "Holden Club" meeting a few years ago ( It was suggested by one person I shouldn't belong to a Holden Club because I wasn't A Dedicated Holden Enthusiest



Just wondering ? Does anybody know of another 1970's FE/FC Holden "Sports Sedan" I've seen a couple of recent rebuilds (Apendix J ) , but in 4 yrs never been able to find another original 70's car like mine ? ? ?

Jeez mate, they're cars FFS, tin cans with wheels. Loyalty schmoyalty.
I just bought a 95 SSS Nissan Bluebird and have no regrets, doesn't mean I don't like Fords anymore. In the end you gotta be loyal to yourself and buy what best suits you regardless of the brandname it carries. :

I think everyone is a car enthuisiast. I love fords, But have have been driving a Nissan and now a Opel (holden) Astra. I purchased it over a BA because it has better resale, uses less fuel and suited my needs for Daily commuting. I still proudly wear my Ford t-shirts while driving it. I also slow to admire all types of unique vehicles because I just love cars.

The fact im on a Ford Fourm is because im a ford fan, however circumstances have me driving a different make of vehicle I dont think makes me any less a Ford Fan because come race day i will be behind the blue oval 100%.

I have to do that. Love my Metallica but the people at work love the Beatles.. So 8 hours a day Ilisten to the Beatles. We even now have posters of the Beatles up at our workplace. They have heard of Metallica and thats were there knowledge stops. Got a surprise when I bought on Ride the Lightning followed by Black. That shut them up for a while.

I got stopped by the cops a few years back. I 'd just left work, so I had a Toyota shirt on. I was driving my old NA Fairlane, and I had a HRT bakpack on the passenger seat.

The cop gave me the strangest look.
