Default a thankyou thread

i would like to thank everyone that contributed to the "why the attitude towards holden drivers" thread yesterday. especially young VTSPAK and rick69 who so valiantly tried to hold off the swarm of Ford marauders. alas the thread surcumbed to the might of caspers padlock.
a most entertaining read that finished the afternoon off superbly........along with a couple of Galliano shooters :evil_laug

VTSPAK portrayed himself/herself as a typical sterotype biased Holden owner. I suggest you re-read the whole thread.

We all know what rivalry is but respecting others regardless of the badge on their car is something that should always happen.

It was a very funny thread indeed what with VTSPAC, 4 valves per cylinder but my only regret was turning off at about 6.30pm and missing Rick69 getting into the action with his reasoned, intelligent, witty comment .....again.

A great read, though I am still waiting on the picture of VTSPAC's "head turning" 6 cylinder VT. Please come back VTSPAC!

He's not getting any avatar of any kind guys. It's not like I go around changing avatars at will. I first run anything like that past an Admin and even then its nly done sparingly.
To get a Barbie avatar you must REALLY be a tool, not just a delusional VT driver.
