i didnt say factories wont be closing. Ford will still be in the car making business in Australia though. but not the same as they are now. they are still in the design part of cars

Its not something new, has always going to be this way

Same with Holden, Toyota, etc. All the car manufactures are making their Australian arms R&D plants.

It's relevent to V8SC, which this section covers almost exclusively.

In case you weren't aware, GTRMagic is one of our esteemed moderators, and an anal one at that. I'm sure if he felt it belonged elsewhere, he wouldn't have posted it here.

It's relevant to V8 Supercars. If it wasn't, it would be in the road car forum.

(Plus, you don't want to get on GTR's bad side) *Cues dramatic music*

Except Nissan isn't making cars here, just components - but I get your point.

Also good that Ford & Holden will both be designing and engineering here for other markets but for sure we're going to miss the manufacturing and the myriad businesses that have fed from it.

Australia has lost all our icons. If we stopped the imported garbage or limited it then Australian plants would have faired better. Thanks Australian Government, no Ford, no Holden and now no Toyota. Not to mention many others
