Glad you said it... I was getting close to clicking the report a post link.
I once heard a quote after a similar conversation that I wasn't part of......You blokes are just jealous....
"Only a man knows what a man wants...."
P.S. I also love a Holden, but take it easy with the man love!
Ahh no man love here mate, just love our holdens.....
And this is where my love of holdens started......have to go now, going out to Shampoo the Battery
Sorry Holden_man, I think I need to come to your defence here.
To be Honest, before I became a Ford man, I was deeply entrenched in the Holden camp.
My first car was a baby poo brown VB commodore, 202 4 speed. This was stolen and used in an armed robbery and written off. I loved that car.
Next came a two tone blue over blue VC SLE 5.0lt. Got T boned and written off.
Along came a maroon over silver VHS SLE 5.0lt. I went through a wild patch with this one. L34 engine 2500 stall converter, 9" diff etc. This thing was crazy, and I got rid of it before it killed me.
A touch of maturity overtook me and I bought a white VR Berlina v6. Grandpa car, but looked much better after some suspension and VP GTS rims.
Traded that on a..............Astra. Enough said.
Then along came a runout Widetrack Jackaroo Nullabore. Great 4x4 very much under-rated. I kept this for 10 years until it copped the full brunt of the Melbourne Christmas Day storms. Write off.
while I had the jackaroo, I needed a cheap runabout, so instead of a small hatch or similar, I figured a HZ panel van would fit the bill. It had an asthmatic 179 on gas. 120 kph flat out! But I loved it.
I had plans to completely rebuild the van, but when I started doing research on part availability, I changed my mind, and went with a 66 Mustang. Since then, I haven't looked back.

Yes, sorry Hamish, but this sort of thing tends to happen Here!
On the ford front, apart from the stang, I've been fortunate enough to have a company car that I turn over every 6 months.
To name few, a couple of XR8s
three XR6 Turbos
two G6E Turbos,
but now I'm looked into the Territory diesel awd, as the tug, or a ranger.....
