True, but Fords 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th is fairly dominant. I hope Ford puts this on TV but I don't think they will.

I wonder how many years that clip was left in the cupboard - probably not something they would have made overnight.

I think the fans and what they do with each other in each others camp is excepted as rivalry it's been on for years. But i don't see Car maker taking digs at another Car maker going anywhere?.
You could be cruel and say the reason they don't outsell holden is because there marketing is only interested in sticking it up holden once or twice a year. If they put that creativity into car sales they would sell more because it's good humour and makes you look.

But why i can't look past the tragedy that has unfolded since Brocky's death, And now mark porter what can you really take out of it right now?. In time there will be dancing and joy but it's a bit hard to feel good right now.

When will FORD start putting this stuff on TV? Adds like the 'must be stuck in 3rd' add was awsome and drew peoples attention to the blue oval with a bit of humor.... Why dont they keep these types of adds going....?
