I love the Fords + Holdens. Great to drive - and plenty of room for the bike.
If I won lotto, I would buy an Falcon XR8 ute. I'm sure I would get more fun and enjoyment (and practicality) than any Euro or Jap car - regardless of the price. Leave plenty of money leftover to give to charities.

Yes, but at the expense of a huge capacity engine and earths natural recources.
European and japanese cars are on the right track, smaller more efficient engines, utilising power transfer from flywheel to "the wheels".
Holden and ford, yes, nice big cars. Did you know holden still uses pushrods instead of direct camshafts? C'mon, and the genIII engines, ridiculously unreliable and short life span.
Saying this, I will admit that i would love gts 5.7 L sitting in my garage anyday :p

It shouldn't get cross-posted from whatever forum you are using to the usenet group aus.bicycles.
