Now you've got the Pontiac (G8) version of our rear wheel drive GM family car (Holden Commodore), head off ice is going to let you guys have the ute version as well. The tradesman's sports car as some here call them. HAVE FUN!

Can we have the wheel on the correct side?

Hardy ha Mr Jaws. Yes, we can do that. If you look up the Holden Australia website it's probably got lots of ino on the new models. The SS spec ones are pretty pokey.

Hey Tony, were have you been? Haven't seen you lurking lately How have you been? Well I hope. Getting cool downunder yet? Man, I can wait for this winter to be over here. Bring on the warm temps.


I haven't visited the Holden site for quite a while. Last time I was on an Aussie car site it was for the Fords. Wish they would bring some of those cars to the States. They were pretty sharp. As for the new G8 it does look sharp. Some mags here are comparing it to the 3 series Beemers very nicely. Unfortunately it is about 60 years to new for my tastes, but what do I know.

Depends what they ate and where. Pubs in Sydney have steak dinners for $10 or less. A-la-carte fine dining restaurant $40-50 a plate or more. A big mac is...don't go there but would have to be under $5 *(that's our $). Some LA Roadsters guys moaned about paying $18 for bacon and eggs breakfast. When I asked where they had it they said "the Hyatt." Yeah well!


Back to the cars.
