V8 Supercar races are rarely exciting, though, are they?
I've seen more RACING in the average BTCC round than in a season of Aussie V8s.

What?????I've seen more RACING in the average BTCC round than in a season of Aussie V8s.
M.
V8 supercars racing is great to watch - equally eventful as BTCC except driving standards are a lot higher - Plato would not get away with punting everybody off. In fact he'd probably get a fat lip.

So I'm guessing you're a Ford lover??
Honestly, the HSV marque has come on leaps and bounds in the last few years in terms of build quality, handling and interior trim.
The handling of the MRC suspension setup is pretty bloody good too, almost as good as my 5 series of a few years back. But when you compare the cost of the HSV to a similarly spec'd BMW you just can't argue what a bargain the HSV is!

Never again.
Onto my second LS, and my 4th Impreza.
The only thing I've ever had to do with the japanese cars has been consumables. Not one single breakdown in the past 10 years.
Between the falcon and commodore, in just 18 months, the list of faults was near endless. No wonder my local mechanic cried when I onsold them.
Buckets of s
t that not even the locals could be bothered buying anymore, and only you guys who dont know enough yet have been conned into.

Lived in Aus over 30 years, and had one of these once.
Once.
Never again.
Quality levels shocking. Best thing you can do with these is drive them to the nearest pier, and stick it in gear. Have to echo previous commentary; this is not much more than a tyre destroying barge, whose handling is on a par with the average wet rag.
If someone gave me one for free, I'd do my best to push it on to my worst enemy, at the lowest possible price. Hell, I'd even pay them to take it.
Big bills coming, and in this country, fuel bills will be crippling whilst just warming it up on the drive.
But what version Clubby did you have?Once.

fit this to the Maloo and you have a 700bhp potential company car to which you pay zero income tax on, nice
I've read up on the double cab pick up thing, and as long as it has a one ton payload they can be a good deal as far as BIK tax goes.But what's the situation with these, can anyone please explain the tax situation for me?
It's for a limited company by the way.

In November Holden sold 2,200 Commodores, Subaru sold 620 Imprezas.
Which one don't people want?
Yes, and 2199 were sold to government department fleets who are mandated to buy australian cars.Which one don't people want?
But why stop there? My specific car only had 5 ADM units sold. Not over the last 10 years. 5 in total. Ever.
