Hi guys,
Just to clarify, I am not dissing the fact that there is a ford on the thread, I just think that considering that this is a holden forum I am of the opinion that it should be holden owners only on here. I am sure that i would cop the same treatment if i were to post my car onto the ford forum. The XR6T looks great and your lucky to have a car that looks and goes like your does don't get me wrong but there is a time and a place for everything IMHO.
Best Regards,
Baz
That's the difference between this forum and FF, no one here minds as we are all car enthusiasts. You will find there have been three Ford utes posted and no one else has questioned thier right to do so. You will also find other threads on Ford perfomance cars that are discussed quite extensively, and openly, with no more than the odd Ford standing joke, as you could expect:DQuote:

For what it's worth guys, well done, it's nice to be able to discuss the good & bad points of all brands without the childish sh1t slinging.
Having said that, there's nothing wrong with a bit of harmless banter between camps as long as long as it doesn't deter people from sensible discussion.
Cheers,

Just to add to the point Cat755 and Steve'sR8 made. You are correct in what you say, when you mention FF.
But not all Ford forums are so one-eyed.
FF I don't frequent much, because of just that reason. It's full of immature mindless Holden bashing, and it shits me no end.
I'm a frequent browser of this forum. I spend 5 times the amount of time here as I do at FF. Because it is worth my time. Contains a wealth of knowledge on LS1/2 and anything by the 'General'. (Hey, I like to keep up with the goings on of the 'enemy') ;)
And on the flip of the coin, not all Holden forums are worth visiting. SC forums are rubbish. One eyed. Full P platers bragging about beating a TX3 off the lights in their fully schick VN. :slap:
And to compare to the Ford forum I do frequent, we had a similar thread to this one. Some of our regular members, who are un-ashamed at showing the Lion on their heart in a Ford forum, posted pics of their rides. It was accepted by 95% of the members partaking in the thread, and the pictures were appreciated.
Keeps up the quality of the forums eh, just like this one.
Anyway, that's my 2c.
Keeping your mind open is the key, people are pregidous creatures naturally but if you are narrow minded you may just miss out on something...
Exactly, i have a Harley & a Jap bike which may seem strange, but i really enjoy riding both of them depending on my mood. They havn't done many km's since i got my Maloo though.......funny that.Quote:

Hey all.
Cut the chin waggin and start posting some pics please :)
Isn't that what the gallery threads are all about.
Here's another of my Cross8. (I'm only half way to getting the 18 inch wheels on). There's a fair difference in the extra inch, fills the guards out just enough I reckon. Any bigger and I couldn't affor the tyres :( .
I just need to get the Avalanche brakes fitted once the other 4 tyres arrive (this was the spare just to see what it looks like), and then I think I'll stop spending money on it...

This is proving a popular thread. Some off topic items but good for the most.
Not much in the way of side dumps on them. I saw one in Sydney a Red Maloo about 2 Years ago that turned my head. Was a Gem and a half.
Thanks to you guys (And Girls if there are any) who are posting your pics it is great to see the utes.
:diddy: There's some sweet machines there lad's.
Well finally got around to snapping some shots of mine.
VU 'S' pac LS1 equipped A4.
19" ROH Modena wheels - polished inside + out.
Modified Maloo kit to suit VU.
Dumped on Koni adjustables and King SSL.
Trimmed tray and hardcover.
Full Dual 2.5" custom zorst system with quad tips.
Running about 230rwkw atm.
Colour coded leather interior.
7.5" DVD w/ 6 stack, MP3, 10" JL sub, coustic 4ch amp.
