god the whole show is like a car advert. he read from the press release FFS!!!
not only that did anyone notice how much the camera was vibrating??? also i dare anyone to record the dash of theyre purchased SS-V while accelerating... Holden press cars are notorious for being a bit more spritely than normal.

Yeah the SSV took off quite well I thought for a stock out of the factory car.

Loved the review of the R500 Scania, those trucks are awesome.

I wish they would show the whole show at a decent time, instead of this 12am BS!
I am sure we could sacrifice a crap American show to slot this in it's place.
