The group headed by Swedish ex-pat Lirpa Loof has become disenchanted that their arch-rival Ford is constantly recognised in the DaylesFORD name.
‘’It’s just offensive to all Holden fans and fans of other car models as well to be honest,’’ Mr Loof said.
‘’Obviously, we don’t want to do anything stupid and change the name to DaylesHOLDEN, but we are interested in what the residents of this fine town believe would be a happy compromise.
‘’Perhaps Daylesheaven or Daylesparadise would be good options.
‘’But really whatever we change the town name to, it must have the unified support of everyone in the town – from residents to business people.’’
Mr Loof said the group planned to take their idea to the next council meeting but were keen to gauge public response this morning.
He said people had until noon today to respond to this story using the comment link below.
