Got back yesterday from holiday in Sydney, was there for 2 weeks.
30+ degree heat every day, done loads of sightseeing, and visited family while I was out there too. Will put some pics up later.
It's good to be back home though - got work on monday too, I can't wait!

Another pic of it - just search on Google for more - it's a Holden Ute; an SS I think?

Ford do their own Ute as well think it's based on a Falcon, Holden version is better though!

I drove a Holden Commodore V6 for a couple of days on holiday (it's basically like an Omega), they are quick bastards for what they are! Sat Nav got a bit confused at times though!

It doesn't matter whether it's a Vauxhall, Opel, Holden, Chevrolet etc. it's all still General Motors at the end of the day.
I would personally prefer a Holden badge though for the Australian element!

I just looked on the Holden web site, you get a brand new SS for about £15k without GST.
I wonder if these can be ordered through a local Vauxhall dealer, or whether you have to import them from Australia?
