my vz
well, today was the day, i turned up, expecting to see my new work car, and there it was, my new work car, right beside a new ba falcon
i signed for my car, and got the key's, yay, all excited, i sat in the vz, put it in reverse, my eye's opend right up, and of i went. i wont say i gave it a gut full, but i didnt baby it.
half way home, i got a phone call, come back to the office, so back i went.
got there, they asked for the key's, they had give me the wrong key's
the other guy who has been there longer was ment to have the vz, and he jumped up and donw till he got it back off me
garth was ment to have the bloody ba falcon, it's a ba falcon xt wagon. pos, here is my reveiw of the ba below
it's white, 182kw, 4 speed auto, power windows all the other stuff, this is what it dont have
1. a working set of power windows, i use it, and it blowes the fuse
2. cruise control, it aint got lazy control
3. it has had a new motor put in it at 32km,
4. it uses close to 19lt/100km's
5. sound system is ****
6. it handles like a dog, bounces all over the road, i feel every bump
7. it has a realy hard brake pedel
8. it has no acceleration, it's a gutless wonder
9. the only thing good about it is the window tinting
10. it goes back to the shop on monday for power window's to be sorted out,
i wanna burn it
so there, i did get my vz, for about 40 min's, but ended up with a flawed falcon, needless to say, im not impressed, ill get my vz, ill kill this car within 6 month's.
cheers
garth

Blah! Don't you absolutely *HATE* it when something like that happens?  Anyway, good luck getting a better car...AFAIK most of the time they won't let you swap your car for another one, right? Or if that fails, just keep driving the Commy you already own as much as you can.

Thrash it to all hell, drive it everywhere in first gear, kill the damn POS. My condolences.
Luckily I work for a company where the CEO is a die hard holden fan, she drives a Monaro, so that will never happen to us.

Agreed on the before and after pics - should not be too much of a challange to kill the POS.
My stepfather has just placed his order for a nice new VZ Crewman S. Can't wait till the alloytech comes to live with us!! I'll get some pics when it arrives.
