Commodore Mule Spotted

frog250 · 07-06-2006, 02:32 PM

Just spotted 2 VZ commodore test mules driving down Burwood hwy, Ferntree Gully. Both black, no badges but appeared to have VE running gear, really buldged guards, VE wheels, quad exhausts and what looked like C pillar drivers side fuel filler. (sorry no pics)

a bit harsh but yes, a few threads down are uncovered pics.

hey danny, you got any full pics of that Golf? Looks like a ncie wallpaper

Well, running him out of town would mean getting up and running no? We also have pics in one of the countless VE threads OF the VZ with VE running gear. Someone on the forums saw it on the Monash freeway.

thank you, come again

EF, What else? · 07-06-2006, 04:52 PM

Im starting to get sick of new threads discussing the "First pics of the new VZ".

mcflux · 07-06-2006, 05:25 PM

Where have you been since you joined back in April?

The many VE threads which have popped up have been dominating The Pub since probably before April!

frog250 · 07-06-2006, 07:00 PM

I did do a search but could'nt find any pics or info on a VZ with VE running gear. I've seen all the pics of VE's, just thought you might be interested.
Sorry all.

Sorry all.

How could you tell it had VE running gear? Wouldn't that have been somewhat difficult to conclude? And I thought VZ/VE drivetrain was meant to be very similar, hence the new 3.6 Alloytec and the LS2?

Considering your post is actually different to the scores of VE threads out there, no need to be sorry mate ;)

Interesting you say that, I saw two black (NEW) Commodores on Burwood Hwy a month or two ago with big black wheels, quad exhausts etc but thought nothing of it because they were so similar to the VZ shape - and they weren't just cruising buddies either

It's odd to see development mules at this stage of the process. Perhaps is was a HSV product or something.

I find search on this forum, very un helpfull... when I type say "ford online catalog" or "ford catalog" I get 10000 different threads, so obviously its mentioned somewhere in the thread but does not help me much. just my opinion.

another thing, would it be a good idea to nuke posts older that XYZ days old, or perhaps not answered for XYZ days... I'll suggest it in the approapriate thread.. see if I get shouted at ;)

if you go to advanced search you can tell it to search titles only, that helps me most of the time

What a bunch of whingers!! Why don't you just run him out of town or ban him for joining the forum and having a go.
Anyway, welcome frog250.

That sounds exactly like what i saw, i just thought it was weird to see them this close to production.

Yes it's very strange unless it's HSV? Which is still strange?.
