Of course Holden make up 2/3rds of the field, they are the better car, drivers want 2 win races not lose. Holdens are common junk but still better then the Fords :)Quote:

Would love to tell story of farmers daughter from farm at end of Pit straight, but can't sorry
Great when the bikes went round too
No brainer really, can't even believe there is any confusion. Just to clear the table so we are understand the theory here. There is, was and will always only be one true contender, one true World beater. The iconic, the famously Australian HOLDEN. All the way baby.
There are two problems with your theory BigFella, The first Holden aren't Australian(owned by General Motors the last time I looked) and as far as world beater, FORD are the only marque to win every major race in the world(Formula 1 included).Quote:

Now growlers, you have let yourself down,
That's why I bought a Patrol mate, because sheep drive Toyotas and Holdens
Original thinking men drive Patrols and Fords, it is as easy as that.
Hahahahaha nah really fords R sh@t

Sat behind a holden clumsydoor yesterday with a toymota badge on it, be very very carefull what you say you comota lovers
I enjoy watching the race for the talented drivers and the purpose built race cars as that is all they are. They are not a holden or Ford! not even close!! Anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding them selves!!
Looking forward to the big race :-))
Lewy
Wellllll to be honest I haven't watched an entire race since the early 90's
Holden's still better than ford tho ;-)
Double Tap
I'm a ford man, I didn't even know what a commodore was when I was first told its a place rust grows by my dad. I thought it was actually a place for some time.
Fords gotta be the best, they had to sense to jump in bed with Nissan when the Button scheme came out in the late 80s and the Ford Maverick was born.
What did Holden get? The Nova?
Its a Ford going backwards, silly..............hahahahahahahahahaQuote:

That being said im a huge fan of Lowndesy no matter what he drives. I've met him in person on a few occasions & I would happily do it again.... What an all round bloody genuine top bloke.
Wonder when Nissan and Mercedes join they'll let them have a win each to get some following.
don't know if it's gunna work, wasn't a big fan when the Cosworth escorts were going around.
Give them all the same running gear and motor, slap the marques body on and race.
that would see who's the best
Loved the 1,2 ford finish, Loved to see Brocky win, loved the group A concept and lost interest when they kicked out nissan. Most of all I love that I now own a car that cleaned up at the mountain. Yes my beloved Jaguar XJS, (The unloved Jag for those not into them)
Tom Walinshaw racing invaded with jags maybe could have won that year, was at the 1-2 finish
not a big fan of the current style of racing, make it like it used to be where what you saw on the track you could buy! When i do watch the racing i like to see the blue oval in front.

Holden does a Commodore better than Toyota does lexcen BUT Toyota does a Camry better than Holden does an Apollo..... Lol there are 100s of crossover examples.
Tap, crackle, pop
Nissan does a Patrol better than Ford does a Maverick, but Ford do an XG Falcon better than Nissan do a Ute.
Not even close to my point lol
Tap, crackle, pop
Ah BigFella,
You can edit my posts to show your flawed view, but Brother the truth is already out there.
When have Holden together with a bit of string(and by the way a Commodore was and is an OPEL - The German car manufacturer, so not Australian) ever one all the important motor races.
And as far as Holden being Australian the parent company is all US and provides the coin.
So bring it on and try again bud.
Awesome stuff,,,,,,,,, simply awesome!
Lets not bring this down to who is an australian car company. NONE OF THEM ARE!!
I was just trying to find an aussie made car i remember reading about, apparantly it was a bit of a lemon, so i googled "australian lemon cars" and guess what was at the top of the page........ lol
So much for "smart" advertising!
Taslucas that is priceless, I did the Google thing myself and the juiciest LEMON is a Holden ahead of Mitsubishi and Hyundai.
Mate you have answered the question let's see the Holden boys weasel their way out of that one.
Great find, you cant argue with the interwebs it's always right.
Mark
typical ford supporters, full of sh1t!
I googled the same and came up with the TOP 13 Lemons of all times and guess what, yeah thats right not one Holden?

Talk about clutching at straws,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Youre gunna have to do better then that Im afraid old son,,,,,
You kids all playing nicely in the sandpit??
Let's face it, neither of them produce "their own" quality four wheel drive and theres just not enough mud on the Bathurst track for my liking!! lmao
Aren't Nissan and another company getting onto this next year?? Who's every one gunna go for then?? Can't exactly bag the crap out of Nissan when we're all driving one of the best of all time!!! lol
Yessssssssssssss....................theres no real argument here we all know holdens are the best :-)
lol, Nissan will be a good contender that's for sure.
Mercedes are coming in 2013 however they will only be factory backing no direct involvement.
Was talking about the "sponsored add" at the top of the search results. Just saying how funny it was when smart advertising bites them on the rrrs. LolQuote:

So what's the go with the chassis? They'll all be running the same right? Do they now?Quote:

they shall be running the same tyres brakes chassis suspension diffs and gearbox with same ratios only difference is the shape of the body but will have drag and Down force limits and the motors being different with just Nissan offering the same motor they use in cars they sell or so I have heard anyway
Yeah cool cheers, that's about what I'd heard although don't they have a
few different ratios and other setups they pick from for each race? Like how they pick which tyres they want to run?
Only small differences I know.
Can't wait for a Nissan to join:-)
Tap, crackle, pop
Holden for me.
