Question Are you a Ford Man Or a Holden Man

Poll time.

There is a phrase here which is "you are either a Ford man or a Holden Man". Once the camp is decided the family will rarely buy the other make.

Personally I have heard too many horror stories about the 2 brands and stick clear of them. Sorry if you find the phrase sexist but that is the way it is said.

Only in Oz are V8s the be all of racing. I guess the other brands do not want to cheapen themselves to be Bogon Mobiles.
