Default Not a Ford driver but a real enthusiast.

I am unsure if this has been posted previously, but will post it anyway.

The person is a real car enthusiast, even tho it is Holden/HSV it was a very interesting read,

Warning long topic with many pages.

Damn, good find.

Love the insight given in that thread, very interesting. Pretty intense there with the death of a contributor during the course of the thread too...

Interesting read for sure, holden fans seem to be worried about miami. Also anyone know what happened with the special vehicle that was supposed to be at the motor show?

Yeah after all that talk it kind of never got mentioned after 1 July. HSV obviously have a few hurdles and a lot of dealer stock sitting around. Wonder what FPV's health is like.

End of the day, regardless of make and model, we're all in the same (diminishing) boat.
