I grew up with my father preferring only Ford over the opposition. My memory goes back to him buying a Demo XK Falcon..(the first falcon,)..He then owned every second model up until the XC,which was his last vehicle.He did buy a new HJ Kingswood ute in 75 though, as the door's on the equivalent Ford were too big and heavy.

I bought my Father's XA V8 Fairmont when he decided to upgrade, I had that for four year's until I traded it for my Sandman. My wife bought a new KA Laser in 83, and in 84 we bought a new XE Falcon wagon which we had for ten year's. Following the XE, we moved toward's buying the commodore. All up I have no real preference over Ford or Holden, I have never had a drama with either brand. I have driven them both extensively all over NSW and now QLD, over all road condition's.

Cheers.
