summoner Member 288 Member For: 19y 9m 27d Posted 21/02/06 08:47 PM Share Posted 21/02/06 08:47 PM I've never been biased really but for some reasons Ive bought more holdens than fords.had 2 VU SS Utes, 1 LH SL/R, 1 VR Calais, 1 HJ 1-Tonner(with stato cab), Last car was a Nissan Cefiro import(which I still have but in bits). I'm not exactly old(I'm 23) either just change my taste every so often. Never had a qualm with the holdens but I like the potential behind the XR6T and so far I am very happy with my purchase.

Since then I have had an N15 Pulsar SSS (modded) then we had kids and went all sensible, and bought a 2000 model V40 T4, still a turbo, but a bloody volvo driver. I did my absolute best to shake the old and daggy, no indicators, typical slow Volvo driver, but alas it is still a Volvo, but now it's the WIFES Volvo!! Always liked Fords, but they were just so ugly IMHO But then again, the VN was a solid vomit on wheels. The EF/EL was nice, but the XR lacked the punch that I wanted.

XR Impact Member 109 Member For: 19y 4m Posted 21/02/06 09:40 PM Share Posted 21/02/06 09:40 PM I've had about 15 cars over the years. Holdens: VH SLE, VK Gp3 Brocky, VX S,And plenty of Fords: Laser, ESP 351, XB GT 351, XF Ute.Traded the VX S pac on BA Turbo. With out a doubt the Turbo is the best car of them all. Well the VK Brocky came close but remember is was the 80's.

I lost out a bit on the deal but I must admit even though the t is a better car the senator was a nice drive.
