Holden To Ford Converts

[Iconic Bionic]

I always hated Fords, especially the EL and AU and was a Expensive Daewoo nut for years but then came along the BA series and more importantly the T. So basically, ive jumped ship and bought a BF a few months ago. Best decision I ever made. Ive done 4,500k's in 2 months and love driving on these cruises.

Just wondering who else out there has seen the light and converted.

My fisrt 3 cars were Holdens..

1980 VC SLE 253 V8 Worked within an inch of its life.

1984 VK 202 Stage 3 yella terra heads, valve springs, 350 holley brock extractors etc etc....went like the clappers

1987 VL BERLINA RB30 Minor work.

Then came the Falcon Panel van for my MX bike

EL XR6 some work done.

Then BA XR6T

Always been a FORD man just didnt like anything I could afford (FORD) as a teenager.

The holdens in the 80s were better value. VB VC VK VL

and cant forget the datto 180b that my missus had when I met her....AUTO

wouldnt even spin in the wet unless my mates lifted the guards...lol

Me.

All my previous cars except for 1 (RX4) have been Holdens. In that mix, theres been standard and high performance sedans like a Brock VH SS Group3, HSV VXII Clubsport R8.

The last (clubbie) was edited amongst other mods. After getting use to the extra power and wanting more, my tuner advised me that the next mods would be heads and cam; a very lumpy cam that drives like a pig and stalls when you lock the wheel and would fail emissions. So I looked to the T and couldnt be happier. Errr perhaps a V8 sound with a turbo. Just kidding.

Long time Ford convert.10 years in Holdens.20 years in Fords.When your balls drop and your voice breaks you start looking at Fords.

wouldnt say im a "convert", in fact, I still love my holdens

always drove a holden (well my T is my 2nd car)

while I was trying to decide on a few cars when I was buying a new one, this is the only one that has everything I wanted..

I put all the bias sh*t aside and swallowed my pride, took one for a drive... and then... SOLD.

I am a convert too...

First car was a VK Berlina, then on to a couple of Japanese cars as they were more fuel efficient but always had my eye on the General's finest waiting for the day that I could afford another one... then I bought a HSV Senator complete with factory stroker, it was an excellent car but I quickly got bored of it and wanted more power and it was going to get very expensive very quickly if I went down the modifying path with that car, so I started looking for a VX Clubsport or Monaro, drove one and wasn't particularly overwhelmed with it's performace, so I thought how about an XR6 Turbo, my mates couldn't believe I was even looking at a Ford, they started calling me Lowndesy because I was thinking of switching from Expensive Daewoo to Ford... I took a T for a drive and was blown away by it, so that leads me to here and now... I now have a 300rwkw daily driver and couldn't be happier, I don't think I'll ever look back.
