the internet gives everyone the chance to be a hero, sadly everyone else wants to be a hero. when 2 heros dont agree, one will always become a villain.

Yeah Australia still has fredom of speach however you need to be mindful of the fact that is a public forum that 1000's of people see. So we have to take care in what image we have.

The ongoing problem with this forum seems to be that the more posts u have the more right u have to be correct. Just go through some of the closed threads and a pattern will appear. That pattern includes a number of high post count members who have obviously been mates or whatever for a long time and like to impose their opinions on the newer guys and you know who you are. The theory around here is that to be accepted you musn't have a mindset or opinion of your own and let me add that the word OPINION is all they are. No ones saying they are right or wrong its just that when someone dis agrees with a member of the in-crowd all hell breaks loose. Yeah i might be argumentitive, but if those few of you that come into threads and just shoot people down with posts that read as arrogant as they are typed would be more open to others views perhaps not every thread relating to early X-series car would get closed. So some may have access to people who own multiple examples of these cars, but i ask the question, perhaps these people feel their investment in these cars is worth upholding the fable. perhaps thats all it is BS that was spun 40yrs ago for propoganda purpose but is carried forth for fear of devaluing their hard earned. ITS POSSIBLE! Its also my opinion like it or lump it i dont care, im certainly not getting my knickers inside out because of it like some do. ![]() Now read my sig and you will understand, if im not already on your "he doesn't agree with me so he is a ****er" list |

As a freedom of speech country u would think that u could express your opinion without being flamed but the reality of the matter is there will always be a group of people with a majority opinion that will do their best to shoot u down! Clearly we are not a forum that condones freedom of speech as if u say anything that borders on sensitve boundaries u will be shutdown! This is the future of not only the forum but our country in general! The days of freedom of speech have been corrupted by political correctness!!! I am not trying to create argument but to express my personal opinion which apparently im entitled to!

I may agree with alot of what certain people say and i have learnt a hell of alot from people like 4Vman, but because i have a difference of opinion to a few old school people, im a tool. Well im not, i just cant justify 100's of K's for an object that 20yrs ago you couldnt give away. Ask yourself this question, if the economy crashed tomorrow like it did 25yrs ago and it was lose your family home or sell the GT what would you chose? now some will say "but people who own these cars are well off already", well that just proves that ownership is about investment and bank balance and nothing to do with passion. Considering these cars were built for and in a time when the catch phrase was little aussie battler, dont you think its ironic that they now lie in the posession of the rich. |

The GT was never the domain of the battler, it was always the most expensive model in the sedan range, and a "rich boys toy" so to speak.

The silent majority tend to form their own opinions, no matter what those with the loudest voices may say or write. The internet is a wonderful thing from a marketing perspective, and in fact gives me around 80% of my customers, however it also enables many fools to anonymously attack others ideas and thoughts usually without any basis in fact. One only need to scroll through these forums and click on a few profiles of some who post huge numbers of messages on many and varied ranges of subjects spouting "facts" and who seem to make statements like "I've got 25 GT's in the shed.. blah blah blah" but funnily enough never seem to post any pics of such. Quantity does not mean Quality, and freedom of speech does not mean others of us should have to constantly put up with obvious rubbish ![]() Having said all that there are a few who do post messages frequently, and whose level of knowledge and experience I welcome, so this is not attack on all who post regularly. Just the idiots, who are probably too stupid to even understand the above anyway ![]() |

The GT may have been the most expensive in its day but it was built by Aussie battlers and now its owned by rich folk, You didnt have to be a millionaire in those days to own a GT, you could trade a XT fairmont you had busted your **** to pay off and take out a small loan for the rest. Now you have to sell your soul to the bank manager to even consider it. Thanks guys on behalf of all those who can only dream now. |

People on these forums can say whatever they like but they have to be prepaired for a response to that good and bad, that is freedom of speech. People who have something against the well off should see someone about getting that chip removed from their shoulder. I hope one day to live a bit easier and am working damn hard at making that happen.
This thread wont last long. |
