W547 VF2 SSV Redline
A quick drive and look over my friend Dave’s awesome ride.
Delivered new as a W375, Dave has somehow talked his wife into approving the W547 upgrade.
What a guy!
Unfortunately we had nowhere really to go to show what the car is capable of but viewers will see what’s under the bonnet and Dave talks us through some of his modifications.
It is a torque monster!
Thanks for watching Thrill-seekers!

SS VE2 Holden Commodore Thunder Ute
Переглядів 5 тис.3 роки тому
VE2 SS Thunder Ute. A quick walkaround of my mate Wayne’s excellent ride. For all those not from Aussieland , “Ute” is short for utility vehicle. In the USA they had Chevy El Camino and Ford Ranchino. This is our Aussie version of that type of vehicle- but better.😀 Holden made them in inline 6 cylinder engines, and in 1990 came the V6 version. Luckily for us these V8 versions have been there si...

Showing off some of the Souvenirs I brought with the SSV Commodore in mind. There are heaps of cool things to buy if you have the cash - I don’t but one can dream. I also show what items I keep on file and keeping a car log to track the car’s history. I keep a log every month of kilometres traveled and all servicing records. If you plan to get a better price for your car in the future, these ar...

A quick walk around and short drive of my pride and joy. I’m really lucky to have such a 🚙 car. A nice 500hp LS3 V8 manual in Slipstream Blue. The car badly needs a wash, I’ll be detailing again soon.This car is usually pristine, I have enjoyed driving her while the weather is great, so I will spend time fussing over her when the rain and heat start. I had to pick the kids up from school so I d...

Tom playing his Squire Mustang. He wrote the song, it was called “ Bio” back then. I’m playing a Fender Strat with a Hot-rail pick up in the bridge. Tom used the Poly Chorus and I had the Small Clone ( depth on, 10 oclock rate with the re issue small clone). Both guitars on the clean channel both tuned down half a step and 10-52 strings. We played it a little different nearly every time but thi...

    Woah! That's a beautiful car, mate. I've got a 2013 VF SSV Wagon, one of the very first VF wagons off the line. However, I've just realized here, that the VF2 at the front actually looks a bit different, more aggressive and more of a modern look. Beautiful!

    cains, mate you never ever can get the engine bay clean if you drive it every day, maybe areas you can reach but unless you have a hoist then maybe you can do under neath it, plus the best products are car pro or NOVA clean products forget bowdens even though they are ok, but way to expensive for comparison to car pro products its like 1/2 the price and better products full stop? Then the floods come and back you don't have a car anymore, insurance jobs all over the place for sure lol :) Like right now there's a VF GEN2 GTS R the orange gold color for sale this month OCT 2022 at greys ie: stat right off, due to water here's the link if you want to buy it? ua-cam.com/video/HbP2GwawHEQ/v-deo.html

    Decent roads mate in other countries? Try driving in Las Vegas mate you will know HORRIBLE roads are. Cairns sucks big time! You can have the 100 degrees and 100 humidity. I would never live there again, ever. Tacko? Nort? Sat Nav? Bonnet? The dumb words Aussie use to describe ordinary things. No such words mate. Only known as SLAG in your part of the world.
