Thread: Holden v's Ford

It amazes me how all you one eyed car lovers can say one australian made car is so unreliable

And you brag about owning a Land rover , which is far from reliable

To ad some fuel to the fire , i work for holden , i own a LR and i bought the wife a falcon which we have done 130.000 ks no probs at all , which had 60.000 ks when we bought it

You might joke at this but as i work in the game i know the things that go on with the company and i cant say im impressed at all (if you worked in a chocalate shop you soon get sick of it)

All i can say open both eye,s you dreamers

Standard 9" carriers are pi$$ weak, FACT, that IS why mobs like Harrop copy and dramatically improve them

Just to throw another spanner in the works .If ford engines are so good why is there only one Ford powered sprintcar in Australia and only a hand full in the States . Long live the chev and may all your ford engines be boat anchors . Oh and gotta love the odd MOPAR engine

As the thread started by you quoted Holden v,s Ford

It starting to sound like a collingwood supporter

AU's did have the VCT just not the DOHC and the fuel economy is still not that crash hot

Yes it could have, but it was pretty rare and not very good. All other Falcons still had live axles, either coil sprung or leaf. The control blade is a much better IRS.

VCT wasn't standard on AUs either, just the "Tickford" engine.

Maybe it should read collingwood supporters v,s Ford
