we have a VE Calais,VZ SV6 and a VS acclaim and are considering a VF ute or sportswagon. the only non Holden in our drive way is a 1939 ford hot rod.We often drive past the Holden factory in Elizabeth and look in the employees carpark and play spot the Holden,When i worked for Bridgestone i bought Bridgestone Tyres and believe if you work for a company you should support them. Maybe their cars are too good? in 1972 you bought a HQ and in 5-10 years the old 202 was clapped out and the body was starting to rust and the bench seat was sagging so you went and bought a new model, We bought our VS new in 1996 and it has done over 300000ks and apart from usual wear and tear items the only thing i have replaced is the radiator.
