Sad Day For Ford Drivers

[HoT-AU]

Okay for the record, i did say in my very first post, each to there own, if he loves it thats up to him. Good on him. He my be a horse person and love it, so stick badges all over if it makes u happy.

But when it comes to this i PERSONALLY think that it really does you no favours. It looks like ur trying to make it somthing its not. And mate if u love ur car with those badges, by all means leave them on. Ur not the only one doing it. The guy i saw was in melb, in doncaster.

To all those fools that own a holden ands stick chev badges on them. its a holden. yup fine same design same whateva, its still a holden, it came out with a holden badge, holden fans pride themselves on holden and loving them so why change it? And if u lived in america it would be a chev. So if volvo made an engine and ford copied it and stuck it in a falcon, would u stick volvo badges on ur ford? i dont think so.

Dude Ford own Volvo IIRC, XR5T engine is a Volvo engine.

Personaly i havent seen a mustang badge on an aussie ford till i read this thread, but i have seen numerous chev badges on the holdens.
I think it's a joke. BE PROUD OF WHERE YOU LIVE AND WHAT WE PRODUCE!!
So what if it's an american motor, it's in a holden made by aussie's, be proud of it. If anything the americans should have holden badges on there GTO's.
Same goes for anyone putting a mustang badge on an aussie ford. Are you ashamed of driving an aussie car? Not me hell no, we make some damn fine cars and im proud to have the aussie badge on my car :

Driving up my road i see a BA xr6, non turbo, blue, with a mustang badge. Yes i giant chrome horse on the front grille where the ford badge should be : . i turned the raido off, and sat there contemplating pulling over, and im not exaggerating. Now i understand its his car and he can dowhat ever he wants to it, but please. There is a line.

If the guy is on this site. i hope u read this. U hurt me today. lol

And only a yr ago you started a thread about how you wanted to put a TS50 front kit on your Ghia, what's the diffrence with this guy putting a little chrome badge on the front off his XR6, or a Commie with a chev badge comparred to your ghia with a TS50 kit, people who live in glass house's mate, you know the story.

Although it would be technically correct, there's no way I would put Nissan badges on mine. Also what the 5Ls? They're about as Nissan, as Jackie Chan is a Aussie.

I would only go as far, as the Nissan rocker cover, like a few have already done.

As for the Stang badges on a Falcon????

lol some people don't deserve to drive cars.

Also I don't really know why people put Chev badges on LS1/LS2 powered Commodores anyway. I thought LS* engines were a global GM motor?

They make their way into other parts of GM like Vauxhall, Holden, Pontiac etc, so it's not a true Chev motor.

People, People !!!!

I think in all this discussion we've missed the major issue here:

You do what ????

lol, yeah I'm on their from time to time seeing as the folks have a commodore.

Also I like to see what the one -eyed Commo owners opinions are on things. You'd be surprised on some of their opions....the best is they still think the V6 is a superior engine to the I6.

Can't be any worse, then what I've seen here in the last 2 1/2 years. :

Also I think you'll find the majority will give the I6 a big thumbs up. It's only the select few that bag them, but like I said, it's no different here.

wow, now that takes huge ones to own up to that!
Can i ask, why would you do that though, you seem to have some form of good taste with the f6 kit you put on it!?

[stiddy]

I saw a BA/BF last week with a set of Tickford wings under the XR6 badge on the back?

All I could do was shake my head. But hey, not all of us can own a genuine set of wings lol :P

yup and i made a mistake by even considering that, i never went throo with it cause i realised it wasnt a T series, and id be making a bit mistake, in my personal opinion. So i sold it and now own and AU2XR8. Ur right dont throw stones if u live in a glass house. luckly, i dont live in a glass house, so ill throw stones. And if anyone wants to have a go at me, by all means get it out on the table, i dont take things personally.

To the guy that said they should be stick holden badges on there GTO. ur smack on! lol I agree with u, why wouldnt u be proud of driving and aussie car?

[sly]

The Mustang badge doesn't overly bother me, but this??????

I took out the turbo for a stock 6

errrr.... WTF?

[wodahs]

Indeed!

Just for your enjoyment I might put a "pony" on my new front bar. I see less of and issue with having it on a Boss motor as they are similar to the 5.4L motors in the mustangs.

The V configuration is far superior.... at gripping the ocean floor.
