Been a Holden guy all my life.
My first memory was when my dad had a brand new FC and it sat in the garage next to my mums FJ.
It just leaves me with a kind of empty feeling.
I'm not sure where to go from here.
Hopefully something will turn up.
Electric maybe??

The car yard near mine was looking light for stock. Apparently it will become a Hyundai dealership.
Might buy a Camry next...

Also been a Holden person from when I was 15, learnt to drive in a 1966 HD Holden [Special], 179, 3 on the tree,
My first car a 1972 202 HQ, also 3 on the tree, later converted to a Aussie 4 speed [M20], and from a Banjo Diff to the Salisbury Diff,
then my 1977 LX 4.2 Manual SL Torana Sedan in Mandarin Red, the rest is history, that no one can repeat.
I always ponder back those days, how it would of been so different, only if we knew then, what we know now,
and how the roads [life] may of been different on how we have lived now.
Not sure where to go from here with my 2 cars, L67 & L77,
I would like to hang onto them as long as possible, but like us all,
don't want to get stuck with vehicles that are end of life & un-usable/un-drivable, and spare parts not available.

I had 6 Commodores so far...
The plan is to keep VF for good...but I am sure the next new car will be a challenge to chose. Most likely something Japanese/Korean...
Good Euro stuff is super pricey and depreciates as hell so not go there...
It is really surreal to go into the web site and see nothing there...

That GMSV logo is terrible!
Interesting its "speciality" rather than "special". I wonder if all those people grabbing trademarks and websites has made them alter the name.

So all cars are going to be classed at Speciality Vehicles ? that sounds so lame.
They should just go back to the Logo "GM"
as they had that logo on the Stateman Deville's in the early 70's

A nice SV with a matching underscore would have been the go.
That logo looks like they found it in an old desk in storage since 87.
