General Car Discussion

Since when did Elizabeth, South Australia become Korea?

 

So rumors that the Y61 Patrol will die in this year.
Can anyone conform this?

 

I'd prefer them kill off the Y62

 

It's like they fooled as with the Y62, like it's was suppose to be an Armada but somehow it ended up as a Patrol.

 

Holden: because we are "Be-Holden" to General Motors! ok ill stop now ive had my fun. that stupid holden sport "down under" pickup would eat my car for lunch.

 

I said I'd post this like three months ago when i got the car, but here is an exhaust vid for the vic.

 

This is the most retarded thing I have ever seen.

Its a Holden VZ ute with a Ford FG ute tray & a Chevrolet badge.

 

What. the cab and bed are separated on the Aussie ones? This changes everything.

 

The cab & bed are separate on the Ford utes, its unibody on the Holden utes.

 

Yeah all of them are except for the one Tonner Holden Utes which were sold along side of the the standard utes
VY-VZ

HQ-WB

 

I was never sure if the VY-VZ could be bought separated or if it was an aftermarket thing.

 

Crewman has a separate bed as well IIRC.

 

Yeah it does

 

HOW WILL THE UTE LIVE ON????? hopefully chevy will be making a new el camino or ford a new ranchero., that's a triple frown.
here's to utes!

 

don't forget the Felicia pickup.

 

Sexy, ain't it? Left headlight is aimed above the other one and wired to high beam switch.

 

its very cute.

 

i nearly had one...
Red 1.9 diesel. Naturally aspirated.

 

That's rough man. You could always....you know....drop a...never mind.

 

drop a vtec? Its been done and would not be an option Id be looking at if I had one.

Issue for me was insuring the thing. It was only £250 to buy from a lovely old guy that didnt need a car anymore and was happy to let it go to someone that actually wanted it. I got a chance to drive it (naturally aspirated diesel is just hilarious to drive, although it would have been fine for my commute).
Insurer however, they wanted £2500. They consider the pickup a light commercial vehicle, plus its a diesel. I live on a farm, commercial vehicle and diesel thefts are both higher on farm addresses and so the insurance quotes are hugely inflated

I did have a 1.3 petrol felicia hatchback as my first car, that would have been just £750 to insure at same time I got the pickup quote.
