Hey, why is the Ford conversion so popular down under while the Chevy is so popular here?

Spectre has an extra cab FJ45 with the Ford and I was wondering. BTW the extra cab is a custom job. The one thing I did learn is that with a Chevy or a Ford motor the thing will walk through the DMV process. Anybody wanna help get one of those Chargers over here. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

if you look around bubs there are more ford than chevys, but holden is the most popular.

it has to do with the fact that the 350 isnt as commn here as it is in the US becouse we never had chevs like you guys do but we had fords.


and yeah hes dreaming
