I would rather have an R35 GTR over any Holden or Ford. I hate the culture associated with both and don't really have a lot of time for either!...Just my humble opinion mind you.

Fair call,i would rather have an R35 over any other car mentioned in this thread.Dont get the culture bit though,ive an XR8 and to be honest so far every time ive gone out to the garage to get in it and go for a drive ive never noticed any associated culture.

Nor did i with the XR,XT,XW,2XYs,XD,other BA.

I've never been too fussed about either, they're both low quality brands assembled by pissed apes

It may be an Auckland thing, but to me it seems rather easy to stereotype the common Holden (especially SS & HSV owners) and Ford (again, especially the FPV crowd) owner. They are usually middle aged, overweight men who think that driving a stonking V8 indicates that they are real 'tough MEN'. It almost seems that these guys think that they have it MADE when they get their red SS Clubsport and act like they own the road and are living the dream.

In fact, case in point this afternoon. Driving to meet up with some of the family in a heavily built up suburban area, just about to pull out when a silver Monaro GTS comes flying around the corner at about 120-130kph (in a 50 zone). I pulled out behind him (dirty old Prado...no chance of catching up at all, nor would I care to) but the clown pulled into his driveway about 800m up the road (typical, fat, obscene looking fella) and gives me the 'glare'. The amount of 'businessmen' in Holdens and Fords that tried to give me a go when I had my V8 Audi S4 was astounding. In reality, to be fair, that could describe the actions of many boyracers in their kitted up Evo as well.

Anyway, my rant makes me sound like a Ford/Holden hating lunatic. Having driven both HSV's and FPV Fords, I must admit they are good bang for buck, I just find them a bit...rough and ready. Latest Maloo R8 utes are an exception to my hate-fest above.

So bloody true Brett. One of my pet hates in Bucklame is the bloody 40+ man in a Holden/Ford.

You've hit the nail right on the head, they drive like prats. I had one tail gating me as I was doing the speed limit (50), I slow down to about 20, he over takes me doing 80+ only to be stopped by a red light 100m later, useless cunt lol

Nothing against Holdens/Fords themselves, but some of the people that seem to drive them....good lord
