If there as it wouldn't have been a official holden SS. Maybe a mock up cause they really went on about this VY SS when released.

Geez, thats good for a laugh. Im still undecided as to wether its fake or not, as I have heard a lot of ricers, and people of certain ethnicities talk exactly like that, so it would not suprise me if this guy is for real.

Not sure what is funnier, the ad or some of the posts in this thread. And I'm pretty sure there was a VX SS wagon.

I call most people dude at one time or another, male or female, annoying habit really. I agree that Holden's a crap I used to be on that side (don't flame me) and that there may have been an innapropriate but seriously don't take the bait, it'll ruin your day.

If anyone here says they hate my EH Showcar just coz it's a Holden, I'll biff 'em!

What's not to like about Holden - as a brand?

You know, Mr Henry Ford himself nearly sold out to them a few years back, but the bank that was backing GM at the time pulled out at the last minute.

There were heaps of cool Holdens, not just the EH's.

Love a good HZ Monaro GTS over ANY modern car anyday!

My Aunt bought a VB SLE Brand New and it is still a beautiful car to look at....and drive. My Uncle bought a Brand New XW GT and it's sitting next to the VB in the shed in the same condition. Still got plastic on the seats!

You gotta take things on their individual merits - not just coz of its' brand!

Cheers,

ohhhhh your female....that explains alot then. :

i wasnt attacking you personally just havin some fun - just seems you have so much hate for a brand of vehicle. Is it really worth all that anger? Not to go all psychy on you, but i think there is more to it than that. PEople can be pro-ford or pro-holden, but i dont think i know anyone whose neck vein bursts and steams come out of there ears when someone mentions the 'H' word. Step out of your old xr6 and take a gen 3 for a drive, you may be suprised.

He signed up :

But just remember something to all that drive both holden and fords. Our mothers or father or brothers sisters friends do drive these cars, And what we call them as a ford or holden owner can be seen as not directed at the one person but as a whole.
Example your a typical holden hero ****er driver, Stuck up idiot. That is like one Muslim is a terrorist all of them are. Your a typical idiot ford ****er who is dum. My brother drives a ford and he isn't a dumb idiot. And he is no ****er he has 3 kids

Once i was on a Another ford forum years ago, One member called all holden drivers brainless fools, His mum owned a VN. So i wasn't impressed with that so i ask him, Was his mother only a brainless fool after she had him?. He liked that.

It seems he's done an update...

Quote:
OK listen. I have to update this add because of so many good questions an all the serious drivers giving me BIG RESPECT! A lot of people want to knw if this is serious, I tell you yes it is the most SERIOUS one you can have for going fast! A professional driver emailed me & gave his RESPECT, this is it! YES! BELIEVE IT ULEH!! Do not think any more, buy this FAST SPORT CAR & you will be a winner like me.
and...

Quote:
People ask me a lot about my beating myself at the lights and how it happens. I just love it!!! Every time I give it the lot and time myself. Sometimes my fast shot gun passenger does it for me & EVERY TIME I get quicker.
and...

Quote:
One asked me about N0S. I'm serious! He ask me if I know it is POS but he cannot spell prolly an immigrant. I know about this, you DON'T need N0S to get respect in this waggon. You can put it in but it wont make much difference to THIS waggon. It desnt have to smoke and it has a good power rattle when you give it some so you know the horsepower is working. There is a little smell but you don't have to worry about that. I will give you a N0S deckals for it if you really must BUT I don't like fakers. This sport waggon is not for fakers.
What can you say to that?

i am guessing it is someone who has got some pictures of their mates car and is playing a prank on them, and has probably put their mates phone number down.

me and a few mates have done a few similar pranks in the past, put ads in the local free trader mag with some "fully hectic" comments and bizzare details and outrageously cheap prices and put in a mates phone number.
you would be suprised how many people call.

Wow. You need to relax. When was the last time you drove a nice Holden?

I don't understand how someone who loves Fords can't have some respect for at least a handful of Holden models too. For the record, I'm a Ford man and proud of it. I back Lowndes and Ingall, I own Falcons and I love Fords. But I have a certain respect for Holdens too. Let's face it, they are large, rear whel drive cars with big engines and oodles of power just like our beloved Falcons. I think the EH is one of the sexiest cars ever released, and I can't get enough of my Dad's supercharged VT Calais.

I think your hatred of all things Holden is just completely ridiculous. There is no good reason to hate a brand of car so much. Oh, and by the way, sweeping generalisations are moronic. My Dad doesn't fall into your "typical Holden driver" pigeon hole, neither do any of my mates who drive Commodores.
