Sick of Holden vs Ford?

[GLD-086]

Thought this might create an interesting topic. (Hopefully not turning ugly)

What do you think of the Holden vs Ford debate?

I personally don't mind it, if it's in a well natured fun way, but after looking at a typical Holden vs Ford argument on another forum today, I now know why, I hate it so much.

It's not just forums, but people in person, that take this to a personal level and piss off other people, in the process.

Please discuss, what you think about it.

I think it's pretty lame really..

Both cars have their good and bad points (yes, commo's have problems too, take off your blinkers people) and obviously both have loyal followings. It's great that so many people can take a keen interest in their cars but really the whole debate is just a touch tragic.

Holden vs Ford is over.

It's muscle vs rice now.

It's muscle vs rice now.

Here here. As much as I am all for the Holden vs. Ford debate and I tell everyone I HATE Fords, they are the second best car around.

We must join together as one to squash a common enemy, the RICER

[EXCESSV]

yeah.....RIP to the RICERS

i am a holden man and hate FORD but i too get pissed off when there is a Holden or Ford guy/girl that are really stubborn..yeah sure we love our holden or ford but some ppl need to take a chill pill and relax

[vt1538]

I have never owned a Ford as a street driven car as I have always preferred the Holdens. However as a speedway car they were almost unbeatable & I have owned three.
The whole Ford versus Holden thing sh!ts me as the main reason people hate Fords is either through jealousy or or fear. They should grow up & appreciate a car for what it is not what it isnt.(unless its a ricer)

[calais_cruzin]

Yeah i prefer to drive a holden but the fords have their good points and yeah commies have their down sides....
Fords are heaps easier to get to their H/U commies are gay how u have to pull the hole center consol out where as on a ford u only take off the mold from around the H/U
There are a few others but yeah heaps easier to put in a stezza cept for the stupid star screws they use.....
Blinkers on a Commie biggest job for such a small thing....i wanna put clear onse on mine but dont wanna do the job.....
Im with KING DIAMOND - Muscle VS Rice not holden vs ford

But Stubborn Ford owners just give me the SH*TS

[fabz]

I LOVE RICE........ for Dinner. hmmmmm dinner BRB

[Charg'd]

i say ****ing get over it, it really is pathetic

[Torquen]

yep Aussie cars V Ricerz now. holden V ford is should stay on the v8 SC track.

[Bax]

pisses me off to no end.

sure enough there is a rivalry, and its good if taken lightly. but i just get sick of these twits that start calling cars crap, just because of the name badge thats on it.

open your minds, look at the car before you look at the name badge.

besides, at the end of the day, the two australian made cars are nothing compared to what we can get elsewhere.

[minux]

holden vs ford pffft.

I love both, what other high pwoered low budget rear wheel drive V8's can you buy?

hahahaha oh man you hit the nail on the head there! i cant stop laughing. Its so true tho.. it really is muscle/aussie vs Ricer. Let us unite as one to destroy RICERS as we know them today!

[Snotty]

love my holden, dad has the new XR6 and its a great car too,

I wonder how many people put down a car without really driving it

Well the only reason I don't like VNs, is because I think they look somewhat ugly and MOST!!!! of them sound like crap. (Unless it has 2 more cylinders )

Can't comment on what they drive like, because I haven't driven or been in one.

I don't really put down cars anymore, because they're just cars at the end of the day. (Infact one of the worst cars I've ever driven, was my mate's old N/A VL Auto and VLs are a massive favourite of mine )

I drove a Hyundai Excel courtesy car nearly to it's death. I flogged the **** out of the gutless piece of shit all day.

I know how bad they are from experience, I can put them down right?

[Christina]

Holden vs Ford is over.

It's muscle vs rice now.

lol thats hell funny

[TheJack]

Anyone wanna buy a 1990 Pulsar?

I'm a Vs wagon man now, can't believe I've been squashing into that little rice rocket for so rong.

Did I just say rong instead of long?
OMG, lucky I changed before its too late.


By the way, does anyone know why I can't register in www.streetwagons.com ? ?
it seems to be causing some errors when I tried for the past two days.

[vztrt]

I'm neither a Ford or Holden fanboy and I tend to stick up for both of them.
The Holden vs Ford thing is a good laugh when done in a light hearted way. But when you get the one eye'd fanboys spouting their rubbish when they obviously dont have a clue, thats when it gets annoying. There both as bad/good as each other.

Mind you the holden and Ford brigade's need to band together to get rid of the rice invasion.

[scobes]

The holden vs ford debate is just the same as your favourite footy team and cricket team and etc.... without passionate supporters the sports are nothing and life is boring

[HVXII]

i strongly agree what i hate is people that watch like the V8s & when the other manufacture wins they mope around for days get a F*<king life they are both extraordinary cars & i would be privileged to own either one holden or ford but I'm glad i got a holden
down with ricers
up with the muscle
no sneezes for my car pure grunt

[JD]

i don't really understand why people get fired up about it
i love holdens and have only ever owned holdens BUT i do also love XY GT'S and my little bros XB coupe gonna look good when its done.

so i say death to RICERS!!
especilly skylines i have driven R32's and R33's NA and Turb's dont realy like them that much and they are just about as common as a commie these days.

[Pretender]

I like all sorts of cars but chose Holden to support at the mountain in my younger days, just because I liked Toranas.

There are models from just about each and every manufacturer that I like and dislike.
Holden vs Ford is an Aussie tradition and is fine until it becomes unfriendly rivalry, then it is pathetic just like it would be if unfriendly rivalry with ricers occured.
Overall I just like cars and these days the Commodore's and Falcon's are so close if I had to choose one it could go either way.
Both are generally reasonable value for family cars with respectable performance for their class, their longevity is an unknown though.

[Spike79]

I'm a fence sitter too, I'm happy either way.

I usually get a laugh out of my mates when i get out of my Holden wearing my Ford T/shirt or get out of my Ford wearing my Holden jumper.

Crazy!

You're always going to have people with completely one sided opinions without basing any of these opinions on facts, They're called Knobs.

Ford/Holden is crap because its a Ford/Holden = Knob Logic.

[EXCESSV]

holden vs ford pffft.

I love both, what other high pwoered low budget rear wheel drive V8's can you buy?

thats one of the best and positive things you have said for a while now....hope it stays that way
