Ahhhh... 40 degrees (celcius!!), sunny, wot more can I say! Anyway, enuff of the weather...
Mid next week I'm popping into a local Holden/HSV dealership in Melb to grab a couple of bits for Raggyman; if anyone has any small, light items they would want brought back to blighty, I'm willing to grab some while here (within reason of course - no Jace, I can't fit a New R8 in my baggage!). Post any requests by Sunday night UK time & I'll try my best. Cheers, Julian.

hsvgtscoupe, if I remember you are using Watson Holden. If they can't get hold of the bonnet badge in time, drive over to Preston Motors in Campbellfield. It is a Mitsubishi/Kia dealership on the Hume highway. If you drive down the ring road towards the airport and turn off at the Hume highway, head north about a kilometre, make sure you don't get off on the new Hume freeway.
Now you are going to say, whats the point of going to a Mitsubishi/Kia dealership for Holden/HSV stuff!!!?? They own a few Holden dealerships around Melbourne, not all called that incidentally, but they also have most of the spare parts warehouses dotted around. One of the major ones is at this dealership!!! There is a huge warehouse out the back. They also own quite a few of the Lions dens outlets. If you have the part number for the stubby holders, they should have that out the back too as I think all the clothing is stored there too. The spare parts counter is not very big, but I normally don't have to wait for stuff to arrive as it is normally there in storage. Maybe give them a call before to see if they really do have it in stock.
