Falcon XR6T Ute..

[ringram]

Ok I know its not a Holden, but this engine gets rave reviews in Oz and is tunable to blow away V8's Its a 4L turbo. 240kw in stock form.
Anyway not a bad price if anyone is looking for a Ute for their "work"

I do think the Ute's look superb.....Even that Ford one looks ok ( not the P100 of course )

But I just cant get around the fact, they are totally impractical.

They are like a car, with no storage space for passengers, or stuff. And for hauling goods about.....they would make a crap van.


What actually is the point of these vehicles ?? aside from looking good lol

[ringram]

Depends on what work is. If you do plastering or gardening they might be ok. Still not as good as a van, only half the load space.
Or a cheap man's coupe

Obviously having had a ute I am going to be biased!!!! buying one through the business enabled me to have what I wanted with no personal costs (something different and with a V8) - business payed for fuel,servicing, upgrades, tyres etc, and being a commercial,I got the VAT back.It also came into the UK as a commercial and didn't incur luxury car tax, even though it had all available options. As for no luggage space for passengers .....there's a huge luggage space at the back!!!! My tonneau cover was completely waterproof and nothing got nicked out of it in 3 years.Mine was used every day for work, towed a trailer (who needs a van!),went on the Loton Park sprint track, Santa Pod and the Shakey drag strip and never let me down.I only sold it to emmigrate. Most fun car I have ever had.

[dos 12s]

their 20" bms austrialia (miami)... not sure of the offset, i got them put on in Oz before i shipped it back. They where chrome originally as you can see in my profile and i got a bit fed up so i got them painted black, i think they look a bit better now.

Mint ute mate

Look HEAPS better with the black centres. Careful though, with those black scoops it'll soon be an XB GT
