Do you mean tragedy like how the VY polarized opinion with its Magna rear end, or how the only way Holden maintains sales is by heavily discounting an inexpensive technological dinosaur to fleet operators.

Actually, perhaps you mean tragedy in the sense that Holden is becoming Korean, and with its US parent telling it to cut 50% of the VE development budget, it is getting up to 55% of the VE content from Korea.

After Holdens "Territory Beater" read KIA sportage goes on sale, lets see which vehicle was the bigger tragedy.

But I must admit, I admire you for supporting Holden, because afterall:

HOLDEN MEANS A GREAT DEAL TO KOREA :evil_laug

And that's not mentioning how Holden made a deal with Korea.

It's something about Denny Mooney standing on the front lawn of Daewoo (Dae Won't) with a Holden banner, dropping his pants, grabbing his ankles and praying that he picked the right Korea - you know, the one without Kim Jong Il.

Well

Here it from the owners mouth... :evil_laug

it was my TS50, (I can pick at least 3 seperate notes in the one add from various cars) its not a stock exhaust, infact mine is a dual 3 inch, take it as it is, like or not.

Enjoy the forums for what they, we are completely different from LS1, so I expect I certain level of maturity here.

At the risk of being shouted down again - can we please try and keep this on topic? Topic is a TS50 that rolled - not the design pros and cons of Holdens.

Thats why i didnt respond Futura, the Daewoo thing is done already....i dont care for that side of holden, i appreciate their performance vehicles, thats all...im not interested in a Viva/Lacetti


And i believe you Laminge, XACoupe told me already

Some of you here really hate holden dont yas, its funny to read

Slagging me an SSlemon doesnt bother me, i can take heat being in a ford forum, i look at SOME of the rides against my SS and realise, like that EB fella, you would not have a chance. But i dont go out there to proclaim 'mines faster than yours', i have a respect for ford, im particularly fond of the BA series....and i hope there is some maturity on here, ford guys are more than welcome on ls1.com and dont get flamed so i would presume the same goes here.....but back on topic...

The rolling of that TS50 is a shame because they arent exactly the most common AU going around...like i said im not a fan of the AU but if there was an AU I had to buy, then the TS50 would be it....i nice blue one :voldar02:

Looks like a Dick Johnson prang. He only got to salvage the diff and the ignition key from his Greens Tuf XE at Bathurst after his Forest Elbow bingle.

At least it wasn't an EF. I'm gonna get hit for that. Very glad the guy walked away. Good to see the strength of the aussie cars holding up!
