    My Link text message to speech. Great feature.

    It can be a funny feature. After my sisters team got knocked out of the AFl grand final qualifier, i got a text full of colourful words about the other team. My poor car swore its guts out, and did it so happily and eloquently! I've never heard swear words spoken so cheerfully before...

    VF Random chat thread

    Keeping in the spirit of this thread… I don't know why, but today was the first day I used the auto parking thing. Did perpendicular parking. The bloody thing reversed into the spot dead centre and dead straight. I couldn't help but chuckle :)

    New XR8 vs VF SSV/Redline for price

    That new FG looks like what it is - an attempt by the Ford heavies saying "This is the end of the line, so lets not care too much about it. Just make it look a bit more like what else we have in the lineup, so that it feels like a smoother transition for that mob down under. Don't go to too...

    VF 2100kg towbar - Whats included?

    The weight distributing hitch. The tow bar is the same. And you will love the VF :)

    The Craig Lowndes Edition

    I think its got brembos all round and tyre pressure monitors… and ex HSV 20" wheels. I'm glad I didn't spend the extra coin.

    Perfect Blue Questions

    Voodoo was nice, but they couldn't continue to make it after the japanese earthquakes. Perfect blue looks good in day…. And night :)

    VF Random chat thread

    They will probably respond with something like "You are getting different tracks playing because you are unlocking and using the car with different keys. Our systems are smart enough to detect which key you used, therefore giving each driver a customised musical experience" What's the bet....

    VF Random chat thread

    One thing Holden can't do is write software. In my VE, I just got fed up with all of the stupidness with its factory audio (and the fact that it kept on dying). So I ripped it out and put an Alpine in. All problems gone. Not really a solution for the VF as far as I am aware. The only thing...

    VF Holden Commodore Issues and Faults

    Possibly - rev the engine while in neutral?
  11. RayLamp

    the most ridiculous thing i've heard from a dealer! Felt offended...

    Holden customer service should log a job and get a job number. They then wouldnt let up until it is solved. This happened to me recently with 2 other cars, one well out of warranty. Call holden customer service back and ask for this.

    I know how they got it through ANCAP - it gives you a nice little message on the screen, asking you to drive carefully as there is the chance of icy conditions :)

    As this is a random thread, I'm going to throw something random up which I love about the new VF…. Wait for it……. NO STARTUP BEEPS!!!!!! WOO F**KING HOO!!!!

    VF SSV Redline

    I thought the same too :) The colour does change at night. Will need to keep a lookout for a 2007 VE :)

    MY15 VF Commodore

    For sure. I'd never deny anyone the right and the enjoyment of buying any Holden, including an HSV :) I like em all!

    MY15 VF Commodore

    Its interesting. In 8 years of owning my VE and now this new VF, I've never thought while driving them on a daily basis, that I needed more power. As nice as the HSV's are, I can't see the value in comparison to the redline SSV. An yes, I have seen, been in, and driven HSV's. They are nice...

    VF SSV Redline

    I've bought enough cars from this dealer, so he did a swap with another car which came in at the same time. And what he does with the silver ones? Powder coats them :) I did have the option of 20's but the price of tyres put me off. I'm very happy with these.

    Sweet ride. Love the black wheels.

    VF SSV Redline

    I don't know if I would want to physically change the vents, but I could photoshop it!

    can fog lights be fitted to a vf ss

    The SSV has dark suede. The redline has the light and easy to dirty colour suede.

    black vf ss storm

    I do like those wheels. 22's would be extreme!! Enjoy your new beast. They are damn brilliant hey!

    VF SSV Redline

    Thanks... I guess if we are on a commodore forum, there's a good chance we'll like pics of all commodores :) Just took a couple of shots with the mobile. This colour works so differently depending on light.

    VF SSV Redline

    Just picked up my brank spankin new VF SSV Redline. Very impressed with it. Dealer did a wheel swap for me. I think the black wheels look great on Perfect Blue. Also got the tint, tow bar, mats and locking nuts.

    Most popular colour?

    I just picked up my perfect blue VF today and even in the rain, it didn't look grey :) Man this thing is awesome. I loved my VE, heck I had it 8 years. It needed to be something bloody good to better it - and it is :)

    VF SS Max Fuel Consumption

    You know you aren't on a tree hugging green hybrid car forum, when threads about people wanting to attain maximum fuel consumption exist :)

    I find it humorous that they de-badge the chevy's in the states and put holden badges on them... Seems as if the grass is greener etc.

    Proper fog lights are yellow. They will be the thing to have in fog. Driving lights, which is what most are talking about, are different.

    So the big Question Normal or Electric Handbreak?

    I guess I will learn this soon enough, but if you wanted to roll back in neutral with a manual, could you just lift the electric handbrake button to release it?

    What Should the Correct Battery Voltage Be?

    Cheers. I'm looking forward to this.

    What Should the Correct Battery Voltage Be?

    In my VE, you've got the instruments above the air vents telling you battery and oil etc. Where do you see this on the VF? I've got one coming and it would be nice to know.

    VF SSV or Subaru WRX Premium? Your opinions please

    I've just gone through this exact quandary myself. It was pretty much between the new WRX and a VF SSV redline. They both perform very well. However I think there are some real world points to note. With the WRX, it is really grippy when going around roundabouts in the wet. It didn't even...

    Headlights gone or battery?

    I think you could try something here - you might need to top up the headlight fluids. Just use this blinker fluid - it's all the same thing, just with a different label.

    Indicator Signalling - Reprogramming

    My VE doesn't do this, but my Colorado will flash 6 times if I am towing something. 3 if I am not. You can still get one flash if you put the stalk all the way to the desired direction and back again.

    Hello and Thoughts on VE SS upgrade options.

    Go to Roadway mufflers in Belconnen. They do KPM. They also do CAI installs too. They often have a KPM system on display and they do look awesome. Will end up a hell of a lot cheaper than Gentech!
