At least they put a picture of a GTS rim on the tyre placard. That's something.

I got a call from my local Holden dealer this morning. I'd left them my business card when Donna and I were there a few weeks ago, asking if I could buy the Sandman poster they had.

It's mine..... and it's FREE!

Next trip to town I'll pick it up and it's straight to the Pool Room.

Went out to Warwick for first service and the Manager handed me these key ring covers. Cool, straight to the pool room.

Can we get a list of 'official' items produced by GMH for the VF Sandman release?

I will ask.

The manager said that there is no 'official' list of VF Sandman items/merchandise. He says every time Holden releases a new Sandman item that it ends up being displayed in a different category than the last item. Months ago when I asked him about the surfboard he said Holden couldn't even give him info about it but he found it on the computer tucked away in some insignificant corner than you would have never thought to look.

I ordered some more key ring covers. Only a few bucks each.

Thanks mate. I'll just give Holden marketing manager a call and see what info he can give me.

I need to get back to Holden and rev them up again.

Customer service told me I couldn't have a brochure sent because they didn't have any. I replied if you want me to consider dropping 50K you better find one.
A week later I had one arrive in the mail. The local dealer spare parts didn't even know the Sandman existed. After some inquiries I ordered from a photocopied list which was very basic. Listing Shirts, Singlets, Coffee Mug and Stubbie Holder. I asked about the surfboard and was told in a recent promo "if" they carried a huge amount of merchandise their would received two surfboards as incentive.

I hadn't heard of the Key ring cover until reading davegmh post.

I did manage to get a couple of the full size white STOMP posters (as per the framed version) from Metro Holden in Adelaide.

It's no wonder Holden Australia is being wound up if my recent experience is anything to go by. It's as if items, products, cars aren't even advise to dealers.

I'm still chasing a press release Cassette USB and willing to pay or swap something of interest.
