    And possibly why they have lost Bathurst for the past 7 years....

    Not very good when you have a 50% chance, but I guess those odds are a fair bit longer if your car has a blue oval badge.

    How can any of you love cars and be a Holden OR Ford fan?

    I suppose there is all the quaint old 50's suspension technology, the 60's powertrain engineering that's worthy of some recognition........for it's quaintness.

    That's why they put proper suspension under them and call them "supercars" when they race. They just wouldn't be competitive or even safe if they had production suspensions.

    So what relevance does a seven litre engine block, and a car company badge, which as far as I can tell are the only actual "Ford" or "Holden" components in the car, have to the actual brand?

    My Suzuki 4WD has an alloy twin-cam head, alloy block and wet sleeves out of a hard alloy. Don't get me started on the electronics. It's considered to be a bit of a dinosaur technologically, and it's only 20 years younger than the basic Falcadore.

    The Seppos haven't got to where Citroen was in 1967 yet.

    Bizarre.

    They wont let me at bathurst or Albert Park, but I am trying to convince the minister of finance to fund targa

    So far no luck:mad:, but my health wont let me at the moment any way.

    Have raced it before, we hold a regular competition weekend on Melbourne cup weekend in Camperdown (Near colac). Though it was canceled last year due to political presure, and this year the same people are begging us to come back (They realised how much cash we actually spent in their little town), though I think it wont be on again this year (Its to late to organise). The organisors are working on next year thougand hopefully my health will let me run again.

    Just cause she is old doesnt mean she is slow, she will still exceed the speed limit on the freeway, and has caused a number of people to double check their speedo when I have overtaken them.

    One of these days I will get all those parts I have collected together and build a race special using period parts, that will be scary, ive seem what a hot period A model ford can do.
    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

    And little wonder after all those years of hope and wish with Ford, the typing of the name, the thought of all that superior technology, power, the seceret longing to have one should send a tingle down your spine , a Freudian thing hay, Go on Give into your secret desires to have the best buy that Holden
