Was walking past the local country club today, and saw a whole heap of Commodores inside. Wandered in for a look, turns out that Holden are going to be doing some testing up here over the next month.
Yes, but its WHAT they are testing thats interesting... the LS2. Ahead of the VE or perhaps if we are real lucky the VZ2? They have a trailer with about 8 of them in there! Beautiful sight.
Wonder if they will give me a drive...They arn't very friendly to cameras but I'll see what I can do.

how do you know they are testing the LS2?
i'm betting their test cars don't have LS2 badges
Of course not, read the post again...Originally Posted by jules

Since then the place has become a fort. (not the pub, the Country Club) I've still got the camera ready, just in case...

would i be annoying you if i asked how you found out what was in the trailer?
doesn't surprise me they were testing them mind you
One of my mates is working at the Country Club, one of the more junior guys told him they were testing the "New V8" and motioned towards said trailer.
Otherwise, I would not have known just by looking at the engine, having no engine cover for quick reference. Wish I could get a better look, I hate not knowing 100%!! It all sounds pretty right to me. Guess the acid test will be when they start roaring past in a few days time![]()
More as I hear (or steal) it.

you might have to ask your mate to get a camera onto it, if they wont let you...sounds exciting!!!!!
