Default Ford Fan loyalty at Adelaide Show

I went and checked out the show yesterday to stay in the good books and to check out the bikes and utes. One thing always good about the show is the motor pavillion. I have got to say that Ford easily had the best stall and the most people were there.
They had the GT black as well as the Territory Titanium, new Focus among others. Even the missus who prefers Holdens admitted how nice the new Fords were and even considered a new Focus as a trade up from her Mazda 3.

I know there are numerous threads about this already and I dont normally comment, what annoyed me was during the ute challenge. 2 SS utes vs 2 XR8s. Earlier in the day the FG creamed them but when being awarded the prize it seemed as if the Ford supporters were too scared to acknowledge it.

In contrast at night time when asked if the crowd thought Ford won there was barely a noise and some half attempted clapping from a few as if they were scared to voice their opinion. When asked if they thought it was Holden the place erupted.

I understand that many of Holdens followers are sheep and many bogans in Adelaide but what annoyed me was Fords loyalty. I saw plenty of FPV jumpers and heard people in the crowd half cheering so why not voice that opinion.

They are obviously down on supporters but instead of hiding because your in the minority why not provide support and make the few supporters seem just as loud and proud as the sheep. I think after reading many posts on this forum for a long time its easy to understand. Ford followers are too happy to bag their own product whilst Holden are going the opposite direction.

If you drive a Ford and thats your car of choice why not support them and use constructive criticism instead of bagging them. After all it may help in drawing new customers to the company and help keep the Falcon in Australia
