For a product success story it really could not have been much better for the blue oval mob. Their opposition had more cars in the field, and yet the product beat the odds. To loose that marketing and PR avenue they really must have sheer ignorance and arrogance. As much as I was a Ford supporter, and consumer of their products I now am struggling to support Holden…..I much prefer to support the people in the team as opposed to the product. Where they Team Vodafone just to successful for Ford and their own good.

That's the problem FORD didn't think they were colour blind as all they could see was the colour BLUE and not be accepting of the other colours in the world... FORDs loss is HOLDENs gain... All I want now is Team Vodafone to beat HRT in the drivers and teams championship

I'm still a FORD supporter (go DJR) but T888 is my fav team as they have 2 of the best drivers and they can walk the walk and talk the talk as they have proved 4 from 4 so far with many more to come. The 2010 will be won in the last race but I think it will between car 1 & car 888 GO Lowndes

I am unsure what you mean in your last sentence...is it a question?

sorry for the confusion.. more of a statement in that the whole 2010 chamionship will be close between Craig and Jamie and they will be fighting for the chamionship and it will be decided in the last race of 2010

Coming from Ford to Holden was easy for me, To see the professionalism Team Vodafone the quality in there work. Its second to none So to jump ship was easy because Ford let them go. So if they can throw away the best team it shows they don't value there customers.

I agree with Tony that i dont somuch support the manufacturer, I support the team. I cant say I like any other Holden teams,coz frankly I dont. But I am loyal to the team and at the end of the day, Jamie's 4 from 4 atm, so thats saying something about how little changing manufacturers really matters. Ford let go of a very valuable asset in TeamVodafone, and theyll be regretting it like all hell. The only reason I supported Ford to start off with anyway, was coz my old man drove a falcon, and at 6-7 years old, I just liked the look of the Green-Eyed Monster.

Agree with Norry it shows what a strong brand Roland & Vodafone have built up in a short time, as a Ford man my whole life ( and family) I support Craig and Jamie and the team and hence Holden no problem at all. I am even looking to purchase a new car and trade my 08 Falcon in on a Holden ! at 47 I think its time to get out of the rut lol

agree with norry and troy i love my fords and will never stop but jumping ship with vodafone for v8s was easy,i still will go for every other ford team but vodafone is where my heart lies so i hope they keep on winning.for ppl who say cl and j dub are traitors,they dont understand what the deal is roland a business man and he gave ford every opportunity to back t8 but they didnt so why keep winning in a ford for free when you can get paid to ,win in a holden

Being a True-Blue Ford supporter I could never bring myself to follow a "Olden" team. I have,in the past, own a couple of interesting oldens being: a group A VK Crumble-Door, LH Torana with a 427cu in it and a Statesman but have always drifted back to the Fords.

It was Fords Loss, But in saying that Roland And 888 could engineer shopping Trolleys in to race winners too if they raced them.
Any way i am getting ready for Clipsal 500 as will be there all 4 days Cheering the boys on.

it all about holden the best car too drive n support any 1 in a ford are cry babies

Ford were stupid to let go of T888, the best team they had, especially since Team Vodafone basically designed the FG V8 Supercar. But Holden's gain
Steven Turner | 09:34PM - March 12th 2010
Well I grew up a holden boy and moved to Ford with Craige,My sons all called me a trator and now I drive a Lowndes signature ute.MAN what do I do?? I like Voda winning though HEY.

I can't believe Ford let them go, being the best team in the V8s. I have always followed Ford.....because my dad always had fords right up until he died. Ford have done wrong but I can' and won't follow Holden. I now follow the drivers. I loved Lowndes green eyed Ford....does anyone know where I can get a model from? Go Wincup and Lowndsey, today is your day.....Get Tander off the track..:)
