Smile Its not a Ford But You Can Win A HDT ute

BLUE MEANIE GIVEAWAY
Hold on to your hair, this one’s a ripper! For the next couple of months we’ll be running a giveaway where the winner takes home a prize — or prizes — that comes to nearly 100 grand’s worth of end-to-end grunt.

What’s up for grabs? If you win this comp you’ll walk away with a custom-built VE SS Commodore HDT ute worth just over $64,000. Look inside the ute and you’ll find a Tom Tom GO 1000 GPS unit valued at another $379. Look in the cargo area and you’ll find a brand spanking Yamaha Grizzly 4x4 ATV, and behind that, on a brand new trailer, a Yamaha FX SHO Waverunner PWC worth nearly $23,000. Is that good or what?

The Blue Meanie giveaway can be entered online and in the next issue of Caravan World magazine. See for yourself on our website, we promise you’ll be mighty impressed.

I hope that bulge is functional, it ruins the look of a perfectly good ute...well, that and those wheels.

I love the HDT aeros, they even better now they are a decent size, they were originally on the HDT VK series.
I think Brock stole the idea from the Corvette style rims

Wow, brand allegiance is blind. Cannot believe the attitudes here, even with the prospect of $64,000 worth of Holden ute free. Maturity is seriously in question with people who go on with all this.

Yes yes you are correct, everyone should be completely ashamed for being brand loyal
They could easily take the prize and sell it an buy what they want (which is in fact exactly what I would do myself if I were to win that)....

Absolutely, excessively brand loyal, that's what I'm saying. Well done, even if it was sarcasm.

Yes totally acceptable, in which people would shut up about this Holden/Ford narrow vision, appreciate that this fine vehicle has been put up as a prize, and sell it silently after they have won it. I am a Ford person, I would keep it, whoa! Out there concept isn't it?

How dare they not offer a vehicle you think is better!

It was more tongue in cheek than anything to be honest LOL
I am brand loyal but geez can appreciate a nice car no matter what badge it has.. The second part of my post was quite serious, just take the prize, say thanks and sell (or keep).
