Shona Gower – Holden
Gizzy (Shane van Gisbergen) and James Courtney are two drivers I follow, admittedly chosen first for their car colours, now followed for the drivers themselves.
Shane is really down to earth and I actually have an autographed poster of him that he signed when he visited Whangamomona.
They both drive different coloured cars now but they are both quite nice eye candy as well as brilliant drivers. One day, I would love to get over and see them race in person.
Our son David is a Holden fan, too, so that is two against one – Dennis takes a fair bit of ribbing on race day and it is always a good feeling when one of my favourites takes the chequered flag.
Dennis Gower – Ford
I follow Ford. I like both Fabien Coultard and Scotty McLaughlin who are Kiwis and I enjoy every Ford victory over my wife and her support of Holden.
There is always big “yahoo” whenever Ford wins and I can rub it in pretty well, too, and give it right back to Shona and David. But, in saying that, Holden fans have had a good run but Ford is still way better.
Never mind the colour, Fords are grunter machines and their new shape makes them look much nicer than the new Holdens.
We have a Ford and Shona has to put up with it and drive it – I don’t think she really minds as she got to pick the colour of it, which, of course, is blue.
