very cool photos - initially I thought they were the real car! Must confess I haven’t taken my out to display yet but will definitely do that now. I note it also has the chrome door trim strip.

Have been overseas last few years and just recently returned due Covid-19 debacle. I have a Director I bought new and after quarantine it was so good to take it out again on a good run! I know all MSE owners got a 1/18 model of their car on purchase but Director owners missed out. So thought...

I think I should mention my recent experience with the rocker recall and the HVAC hose. I took my Director to a Holden dealer here in QLD and even before I had driven the car out of the premises I was regretting having ever taken it to them for the recall work. The car was now "creaking" over...

Old thread I know but I'm looking at replacing the chrome trim around the infotainment screen with a gloss black unit. Not a fan of the chrome. I see OPG sell these black units. Has anyone had any first hand experience with these and are they a quality unit worth buying? Thanks.

I think I might owe you a beer or two for all the good gen! You have also dispelled a few myths about running in a car. Always thought related to oil consumption and wear. Will be following your guidelines for the next 1500ks or so and yes it will be fun. Can't help feeling a bit empty about...

I spend a lot of time overseas so am not around much to clock up a lot of Ks and I'm sure there are others more knowledgeable than mean this forum in the ins and outs of running in a new V8. Just from what the manual says for the first 1000ks limit max speed to 110, don't use engine braking to...

Picked up my Director last week and has been a total blast! So happy with the beast and have already clocked up over 500ks with a couple of trips to the Sunshine Coast. My first new Holden so pretty stoked just the way it is! Just waiting for when the run in period is over.

Panhead and ProfMopar - that's good advice on storing and running old cars - and not just old cars. Makes me realise I don't do near enough to maintain and a major problem these days as you've both said is the poor fuel quality these days - I am really surprised by the ridiculous short shelf...

Glad you were finally able to collect your machine! How about some photos? I am still waiting for Holden to advise me when my Director will be ready for delivery. Is anybody else in the same boat?

Hope they have it hidden away. At least yours is sitting at the dealers - mine was built early August and still no sign at the dealership! Looking at November delivery now.

Ok sounds like they have fixed the issue with the black mouldings then. I was just starting to like the idea of chrome. Sorry a bit misleading - I spend most of my time in PNG but the car will be delivered in Brisbane.

Hi ute42, Thanks for reply - that's two very good reasons and the 7 year warranty - what a bonus! Hopefully all special editions qualify for that. Was still a teenager when I bought my first Holden 40 years ago and this will be my first New Holden so really looking forward to it!

Hi all, New to the forum here but would just like to know if there are others out there still to take delivery of their limited editions? My director was supposedly completed mid August and the latest advice received yesterday is delivery scheduled for 23rd Oct - after the manufacturing...
