Yeah not too bad at all. I like the colour-coded wheels too. Not a fan of the big "HOLDEN" at the back though.

the white/blue VT would have to have been a promo car or such at some stage surely?

No pics/vid unfortunately, but going into the City (Melbourne), had a very funny incident where for some reason a red SS ute brakes and pulls over suddenly nearly hitting the left side concrete barrier and an Ego FG XR6 repmobile following him swerves to avoid his rear end. I didnt think much of it, probably thought the SS had some mechanical problem, but then wondered why there was this 'beep, beep, beep' (FG Horn) every 2 seconds. The noise continues, and as I pass the FG, I see the high beams flashing with the horn blaring on/off, and quite an agitated driver behind the wheel. The driver wasnt touching the horn at all, so there must have been some kind of malfunction in the FG all of a sudden. Needless to say, poor bloke in the SS must have looked in his rear mirror and saw flashing headlights and thought 'oh crap, unmarked coppa' and pulls over, only to have the FG fly past him.

Why would you want to put your Honda into an "Äll Ford" show anyway?

Pretty sure I remember reading years ago when the smart cars came onto the market that there were designed to be used as such, first time I've seen somebody actually do it though.
