Not Denied! As I said, let justice be done, whatever the outcome might be. I would be saddened if he has been set up, and equally saddened if...
Disagree! I don't usually disagree with Minux, but I do on this one. My greatest concern is the "efficency" with which the hired goons, i.e....

Same but different! Hi, The fuel tanks in the earlier Commodores were 14gallons, or 63.6L. With the VS, Holden changed the capacity to 59L,...

Another from the meory banks! Many years ago, I had a junior workmate who was a teetotaller and vegetarian. Seemed almost vice-free until after...
Tax Office Called? Many years ago, a work mate was going through a bad time. His stress levels were through the roof. Anyhow, he returned to...

Sighhhhh!!!!!!!! I have periodically read this thread, but avoided joining in. I have my views, and generally have no chronic need to convince...
VY Problem as well! This sounds similar to a common problem on the VY. Surely Holden would not allow a design defect like that continue in...
Current Ads Disappeared? I notice the Holden website lists a 09-plated SV6 manual at $37,999 drive away, but delivery must be before 28Feb09....
Well! Well! I second the comments from Julie and Minux. Events like these are just sad, sad days - for all concerned and the innocent baby and...

Common Problem! It was common in the VS for the handbrake button to "spread" with use and get caught in the handle. I went through a second one,...
Nice, but! Good story, but let's get technical. To fly, a bird must generate downwash to create the necessary lift. The resultant downforce...

Whoops. Thank you. Got caught by only looking at the last post, and not checking the dates of the earlier posts. Will try to be more careful...
Too High! Check the prices on Redbook. $12,999 for 180K is too much IMHO. I just traded my 2004 VY Excutive V6 Manual with 73K. I would...
