You can’t even buy a decent g-string / singlet set at Target for fifteen bucks.
By the way, I wouldn’t let her know that you’re b!&c#in’ about the price difference.

Cheers, Danny

Boy that is GOLD!

Size 6 is bloody bone thin. I have a few friends that are size 8 and they're the thinnest girls i know.
Go with the size 8, most clothes are fairly adaptable.
Just make sure she wont whinge and say "you think I'm a big fat size 8 don't you"

Dammit...

If they don't have anything in her size, she'll just have to not wear anything at all...

Such a shame...

Ford gear would certainly be better than HSV gear - much more likely she'll come first wearing Ford gear

Classic!!

I think I might have to go down to FPV and get myself some now!

Oh, and by the way FPV/FPR stuff is smaller in size than usual so if you need a size 6 an 8 should fit. I have a large jacket and I take a small in every other brand. ;)

Size 6.. omg!

HSV sell G-strings & singlet tops for $15? U sure thats not just for the g-string? A good g on its own is worth $15, plus the singlet. You get what you pay for I guess...

It's because Ford and FPV pricing sucks. You'd think it would be cheaper to promot the brand.

Also you have to buy Ford because you can't hang HSV ones off ya rear view mirror!

On a more serious note. Its simple i think. HRT i bet sell a hell of a lot more merchandise and therefore can afford to sell it cheaper.

They won best presented team, peoples choice award for most popular team, and skaife got the peoples choice most popular personality at the V8 Awards, therefore they would have a lot more fans willin to buy it. Anyone knows when your selln something in large quantities its cheaper.

This thread is useless without pics.

But regradless, the price differential is scary, but often reflects the level of merchandising by Holden/HSV.

Instead, buy her a nice meal out somewhere, and some flowers and get a better "bang" for your buck that way.

$45 doesn't get very far in terms of meals and flowers, unless its at Maccas and they're flowers from a Servo....
