Its funny how someone introduces them selves or someone ask what oil should they use and quickly goes of topic about Dato VS anything under the sun. since we all like to do that till Lurch gets his trigger happy finger and tells us off.

So let make a post thats about anything realy that we can rant about. (hopefully keeps the admin happy)

so to start off

the other day i got into a discussion with one of the so called managers at work which is a hardcore GMH fan. owns a Red SS VE and think its the fastest best thing on the planet.
 
I love most cars and brands besides i have a grudge against some Toyotas and Holden cars for various experience reasons.

when it comes to local vs local im the Blue oval corner. I do agree both Ford and GMH are same  but to stir things up i take the Ford as GMH is local in SA and they think its the best thing that rolled on 4 wheels.

anyway i wore my old OZEmail sponsered FORD Shirt and the GM boy above commented about it and made it sound like "well I guess they need support may as well be me" like im lower life form.

turn around and asked what so good about GMH compared to FORD they both crap but since they banned the brand and car that i was going for in racing cause it was destroying the competition. i chose ford cause GMH seem to fall apart lot more after few years.

anyway few more words have exhanged but i ignored his comments as he didnt know what he was on about and didnt feel like wasting any more time.

all i felt like saying ok smart AR$E bring you big 6L V8 VE SS vs my 2L 32yo jap crap and lets see who wins the pink slip.
wont be the first or last ss that sniffed my BP 98ultimate behind me.

moral of the story how many try hards like above u came accros?or any other story vs anything. 

ie should a MAZDA wankel or a Toyota 1jz 2jz reside in a DATO. seems to be popular stir me up.

SNAP CRACKLE POP!!!

God damn the government and their vehicle tax crap just to save the Australian vehicle industry. The amount of technology and engineering that goes into over seas cars totally tramples over what an Australian produced car gives.

You know what i say. "Let them burn". If they are struggling now even with a safety net then there's no use in letting them live.

Start comparing prices. If Australia didn't have such an excessive tax on import vehicles we'd be looking at pretty dirt cheap BMWs and Mercedes and luxury cars worth buying in comparison to the price now for the top of the range Holden or Ford.

Big Top Gear fan. It's like what Jeremy Clarkson suggested. Which would you prefer? a M3 or a Holden? I'd go with the M3. Technology advanced to triumph over what little a Holden (an engine + gearbox + super simplicity but we'll charge a shiverload [apple scheme]) is.

A place over the road from my workplace keep giving me cr4p about the zed whenever I take it to work. They seem to be Holden/Ford fans; manager drives some XR performance taxi that is some foul orange colour. When I did have my healthy L28 in my zed I would've loved to give him a run on the dragstrip or circuit to shut him up. One thing that bothers me about 90% of Commodore drivers is they all think they have something special; something unique compared to the 5 million others out there...reality is they don't! When do you think they will accept that? The day a 39 year old 240Z puts them to shame...

Glen:
I prefer holden any day of the week, My mate got a ford XR6 top of the range thing all leather etc etc. He couldnt believe the way the inside was put together, console all wobbly, things didnt shut properly. Had another guy take his "boss" thing back 12 times, guards didnt align, had a major oil burn problem. The new VE craps all over the new FG, The FG looks like a 18YO pimped it up while the VE has European class written all over it. As far as V8supercar racing goes there basically the same in performance with different badges.

LoL Dimitri.

The funny thing is, they'll use one of 5 million reasons to why they lost as well. Even if you beat them 3 times straight.
