On another note....i was at the local Holden dealer today where my parts mate took me around the back and showed me a black V8 Sandman wagon was waiting to be picked up. I noticed how thick the new decals are....and i mean thick.....like double what the 'stick this' ones are like. I would be very careful when washing a new sandman incase the sponge gets caught or lifts up the decal. i would almost be tempted to get a clear coat over them to lock them down...but unsure how the decals themselves would handle that. Food for thought i guess

Not much use for a surfboard out here but would be a neat collectors item.

In the mail today I received a complimentary voucher for the 1 month inspection service.
That's 7 weeks after taking delivery and 3 weeks after I actually had that service done !! Well done Holden.

See if you can redeem it for the second service

Righto, here's another one. I took delivery of the sandman and a SV6 sedan on the same day in the middle of the 4 day Holden sale which gave 5 year factory warranty. I paid for both on the day of delivery and only the SV6 was given the 5 year warranty. Why I hear you ask. Because I 'ORDERED' the sandman in February. Was I expecting too much from Holden. If you walked in of the street and bought a sandman that was sitting in the showroom in the sale you got the 5 Year warranty.
