They had a little tiff with Ford, backing was withdrawn and look at where they are now! It’ll look pretty strange with only four or five vehicles on the track that are obviously Ford, as I know if I was one of the other team owners I certainly wouldn’t be giving the pricks any sticker space (as WPS did). Probably even de-badge the f*ckers out of spite!That’ll help with brand recognition :ifiusethisimafag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame the Polites (RIP) and Flint days have gone. They have lost me 100% with this nonsense, sort of pleases me evn more that I don't like the FG that much. If they have no loyality for there drivers or motorsport I won't buy another one of their products. It looks like all my reps will go into Toyotas from next year. When will they ever learn that US market trends and statistics have nothing to do with the Aus market, the AU being a classic example. From now on as far as I'm concerned they can shove all their new cars fair up their collective Win on Sundays sell on Mondays doesn't work anymore. What planet is this guy from.There is only one common fate for a ship of fools. That is to sink, these idiots deserve it IMHO.

macka'sxr6t Member 1,480 Member For: 20y 5m 19d Location: Mildura Posted 05/07/08 07:49 AM Share Posted 05/07/08 07:49 AM Is'nt Craig Lowdnes a ford contracted driver?He has been the main face for ford in the V8 series since his crossover from the dark side and Ambroses departure to the US. You would have thought they would have supported him and T8 a little better than that. They have clearly given ford the best exposure and return for their money than any other ford team. I will be hoping that the can make it three in a row at Bathurst this year and either T8 driver wins the championship just to show them what fools the decision makers at ford really are.It would be even better if they did it again next year with out their support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland referred to them as Volvos and Dicky said something along the lines of "no idea what the fuss is about, Ford sell red cars too" :banghead:Oh and not much farking blue on this one you bunch of tossers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Dick said, it's just panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldnt support them in a Late model camira at all no matter who they are. I also dont doubt that campbell little would have had all of the best input towards building the fg race car he is the smartest person in the v8 paddock.
