Congrats on a nice purchase Leon. Very nice car indeed. And it's a Holden!!! :cool:

What was it that Stuart Wagstaff used to say on the old Benson & Hedges ad?

"When only the best will do". :thumbsup:

Poor old van has been sent into retirement huh? :lol:

Leon congratulations, that is a magnificent vehicle. er forget everything I said re speed etc and the latest Commodore:D . When you buy a new scope the clouds roll in we all know that but what happens when you buy a new car.. do they close your road? petrol prices tripple or what?
I suppose when its that nice and new even clouds rolling in sees it stay in the garage;)
Happy driving and clear skies

I have to say the the current model commodore really looks the part. the previous model? well when i looked at one i couldnt help but think 'boat shape' :)

what is it? SS?

plenty of scope carrying room in the boot too i bet ;)

Nice crisis!
All I managed for my MLC was to take 8 months off work. Nothing to remember it by but an empty bank balance :doh:

Alex, believe it or not the minute i brought it home it rained and is still drizzling now, must be something to do with new things. :lol:

And Ving, no it's not an SS Model but one step down It's The SV6, I didn't want to look like a real "Hoon" :whistle:

Cheers Leon :thumbsup:

I've heard that it's to do with the glue they use and apparently toxic, but it's still a new car smell though.

Just can't beat it I reckon.

Cheers
