New SS Thunder now in driveway
Hi fellow GM people. Picked my new work wheels up this morning. First impressions? Well heck it's a ute after all, but it's quiet, smooth, seats are extremely comfortable, and although it has those raised bits on the hard cover, visibility is extremely good. I also had it delivered with a tow bar, tub liner, blue overlocked SS mats, protectors, and Navman 520.
Just wish it had the note of a stock 253, with factory twin system!
I had my gallbladder removed on Monday, so I am not exacly up to heaps of driving just yet. Only 000,029 kms on the clock.
Just remember, that any car is just as good as the care you give it.

yawn :(
Good to see holden continuing with intake silencers
Induction noise is gooood
just another moderator...
Very very nice looking ute.
I'd lose the protectors though, an absolute pain in the a#% to wash it properly when you have those on. Mine has em, but only put them back on for road trips
hey matego back to the dealers you bought it from and get your footrest alloy cover , I just whinged to holden about mine been missing and they are fitting it next week. Its a std item on the SS so let em know you want it ...
if you want a copy of the holden email OKing it let me know.

Interest.
Even if you got an Scanning Electron Microscope and pointed at my interest in this subject you still wouldnt be able to see it......
Very nice.
A question, what size spare do you get with the standard 18" now?
Yeap, Slugg, a copy of the e-mail would be handy, and thanks for the great pick-up too.Originally Posted by SLugg

congrats on the new ute looks nice
Cool ride, so how much real work is your new ute gonna do?
Other than driving to the office, to Melbourne for work twice a month, and the occaisional load of stuff to the tip...................none.
Daza,
I understand on the SS an 18 inch alloy spare is supplied, making five of the same wheel being supplied.
I do understand that the Thunder S ute, with the same wheels gets the dodgy 15inch spare.
My VYII S only came with four alloys too.
Does this help? haven't taken a peek underneath as yet.
Nice ute m8
Mine is due in the 1st week of june... carnt wait
Cheers

I luv the ute mate!!!!!!
I am extremely JEALOUS!
Enjoy it.
nice ute mate. enjoy it and treat her well
how long did it take from ordering to delivery? i ordered a black one on the 1st of april and still no sign???
i ordered a devil yellow on the 29th april and was delivered on the 24th may,so was very happy to get it so quick after hearing of others taking so long,anyways it's here now and i'm lovin it lol.
that "silencer" is an acoustic chamber for intake pulses and is worth 4KW more to the engine so Id be leaving it onGood to see holden continuing with intake silencers

Nice ute, looks great.
Yeah would be interested to hear if your dealer fitted the alloy foot rest cover. My ute didn't come with one either.
I was lucky enough to walk into a dealer test drive the ute and drive away in it 3 days later, after they had fitted the tub liner etc. Very impressed.
Pics?Nice ute m8

Nope, appears that some dealers will oblige and others wont. Another cost saver like the missing glove compartment light.
if the dealership doesnt seem to comply with the needs that should be there, i would go further and speak to someone in holden about it, my dad works for nissan motor company in the spare parts devision (actual nissan, not dealership) and he says to me, that if he decides to go in and buy a nissan motor car and he feels that he is being dodged with money or something he can actually go and speak to someone at his work which well then blast the crap out of them because they are not doing wat it should be.
