mine rocked up to the dealers minus the 'LS3" badge on the front bumper.

I got a call from the sales guy about mine yesterday. He told me it fell off the truck when they were unloading it.

He was joking.

omg, lol did he get the reaction he was chasing - that is just cruel!

He said he was joking, but he's actually just fulfilled his obligation to inform you before they repair it.

You laugh, but we've actually had this happen before to a stock car. The rear most car on a 3 pack car carrier fell off the back and was only holding onto the tray by the front wheels. The car was chained to the one in front and the chain snapped when the driver went around a roundabout. To make things worse, he couldn't actually then get it off because of the angle it was on, all the fuel had run to the back of the tank and it wouldn't start (cars come to us with next to no fuel in them). So a few of us went out there with a jerry can of fuel and it was not lined up straight either, so we had to bounce it over (it was an Astra coupe) until it lined up with the ramps at the back. Luckily there was no damage to it.

We've had numerous cars damaged by train derailments, top deck trailers breaking and crushing the car under it. Years ago Ford even had a car carrier sink on the way to Australia! Imagine getting that phone call, 'sorry, the boat your car was on actually sunk'!

Guy at work has hid redline with the W375 pack(in the **** green colour don't like it)

Another lad has the 310 pack on his series 1. I didn't see it but they had a run and the W375 was car lengths ahead(even in rolling start) wish i'd seen it.

Apprently its all the same gear but the motors.

Apprently its all the same gear but the motors.

And the drive ratios.

I've loved my VE. Drives nice, handles well and goes OK. Mind you I've spent lots of $ modding a V6. Very much looking forward to the LS3 though.
