  • A warm welcome to everyone checking out my latest UA-cam video!
    In this episode, I share with you my thoughts on this 2017 HSV ClubSport Tourer R8 30th Anniversary Wagon. The most powerful wagon ever released in Australia, the humble, already fast HSV Wagon has been transformed into something other worldly. A very rare example and one of the last ever-made, can a family car get any better than this?
    Thank you to the owner Jamie for sharing his pride and joy!

    Its amazing what Aussie's can build, the VF was the best and last Commodore ever made.
    Its a shame that Holden treated its clients so poorly that they drove Aussie's to other brands and the car was never supported the way it deserved. What a shame, I would have loved to own one.

    VE and VF wagons are exactly the same wheelbase as sedans. Then sadly made the cargo area a LOT smaller than the previous models.
    Edit: Sure the shortened back looks 'sporty' but not as practical for family use, sports gear, bikes, camping gear etc.

And the kids bikes are small enough to fit currently. But everything fits fine in the husbands Dodge Ram! Keep the kms down on this and drive the dodge everywhere

    One Question for me here in Germany: Why are "Aussies" that obsessed with "Kilowatts"?🤔
    We say "PS" (Horse Power) here in Germany because Kilowatts sounds too technical like our TÜV Authorities...🙄 Yeay, we have to check our cars every 2 years that the car is still Functioning, and no Rust... Brakes, Tires, Lights, Muffler, Emmisions... and then we get a little Sticker on our rear Numberplate for the next 2 Years!👍That's nesessary because we drive fast on the unlimited "Autobahn's" here in Germany!😉😎
