More pics from today..

Click through slideshow, hopefully should work.

Thanks Dougie for letting me behind the gates to take a look.

Gareth, your £300 buys more than a steel rim. There is a big hole in mine where the cradle and brackets would go for the spare.
So I think it was well spent. Ill sling a spare in the back instead when needed.

Looks fabulous. Great Colour.

Looking forward to chopping the Insignia in for one.

I like the Utes. There is something about them. They look mean.

As I read this last night I was in the back of a (terrible) taxi from Luton airport going past the Vauxhall garage.

Looks fantastic, can't wait to see/hear it

Ute - Ordered from Pentagon Burton. Getting here next march. (Company workhorse, I've had the " Insignificant" for 3 years now so due for a daily drive swap).

Very, very, very nice, I haven't even seen one that colour over here. Made the catastrophic mistake of looking at one the other night in black.


And the colour, just like my other toy! Mine needs a wash though.

You bought the black Maloo???

HUD looks good. You can move it up and down the screen and change the data displayed.
Also screen can show extra gauges, manifold pressure, instant fuel consumption and other odds and sods.

Its even got UK Sat Nav, though tragically only first 4 digits! Still at least you can get started and zero in with the phone/google near the end. Not sure if it has full europe maps or not forgot to ask.

Also forgot to check the asymmetric axle shafts. Exhaust looked ok and was pretty loud (And a bit droney)

Seats are manual adjust, which I prefer, with electric lumbar and up/down.

Lots of lateral G, lap timers etc with an output port.

Too many electric toys to mess with. Push button start worked ok. Not sure how you go into accessory mode though..

Not yet! tempting though. Supposed to be some sort of change this week.. will wait to see what happens there. The new Falcon is released this week so I think Holden are tweaking the SS a bit. I don't think it is anything major though.

Paddle shift.
And final tweaks for the twilight decline to death and burial.

Update to that, as of today, not that exact one, but a near on identical one, yes. It came with the SV 340kw pack. I don't have the black SV wheels yet, but I am thinking about them. Went to look at removing the wheels tonight only to find I have 2 sets of locknuts on there. The car was parked outside very often. Probably went down the line around the same time as Mr ringram's. It is a May 2014 build.

Spooky, as Rich posted pictures of his on Facebook today too.
