Unlike collingwood the AU goes the distance... paradoxically speaking.

I'm here to help. Got a couple of cans of yellow and blue paint if old mate needs to edit, update his paint job?

Cheers Mick

There was another AU painted in Cats colours and adorned with scarves and flags driving aroundGeelong during the run of premierships, popped back out again in 2016 but I haven’t seen it for a while.

I had a close look at that picture of the that car is a cheap rip off of the Holden Factory Collingwood badged Commodore from a few years back.

Must be a very rare special edition model car as I have never seen one on the road.

The Elizabeth factory workers must have been really happy to see this one go down their production line.

I certainly dont recall them doing a red, white and blue one for the Central District Football Club of which many factory workers were staunch members and had been their major sponsor since cocky was an egg.

Mind you, we couldn't even get Holden to sponsor a tournament at the bowls club where many ex senior employee's spent their retirment years.

Our mats were sponsored by Rebel Ford.
