No but I debated over one of my four hats. I chickened out though and even managed to bite my tongue when the dealer was jawing on about how crap the equivalent Commodore is in comparison. It was that much more satisfying when bringing to his attention, the flaws in the dustbin that I test drove.

Wow, not sure how I missed this review! No time to read it all now, but I started, and I really wanna see what you have to say. At a glance I find those cars look more or less similar... it's clear they're direct competitors!

Re: Ford Vs. Holden Part1

Great reviews. Almost as compelling as reading Taurus vs. Impala...

Can't wait for Part 2. Maybe I can beat you to it by reviewing a Pontiac G8 against a US Ford Falcon. Someday.

^^^ except driving backwards . Yeah they can be dull as dishwater in the hands of lemming, but much more amusing when you let them off the leash a little.

Sounds like MonaroSS is right: I need to advertise more. Don't hesitate in requesting any translations

Oh, JoeT did advertise for me. Thanks mate, the moneys on the fridge

Actually, I inspired that line when I was telling him about all my problems. I don't have to steal though, I've got my own.
