VZ SS 6.0litre "Thunder" Ute - Auto
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.

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

Yeap, Slugg, a copy of the e-mail would be handy, and thanks for the great pick-up too.

Thanks
