  • 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 since the late 60’s starting with 253ci and the 308ci. Nowadays the LS engines are the norm, and they go great.
    Holden stopped production of locally built cars and V8’s in 2017.😔
    We have a Holden V8 club in Cairns “Mates and their V8’s, we go on cruises and catch up for coffee or beers when the weather is fine. A couple of slides included in the video.
    Many thanks to my mate Wayne for letting me film his girlfriend.🙏😀 . The car just had a nice lumpy cam installed and had a fresh tune, she goes very well and car has an excellent ride . Great fun!
    You can tell from 50 metres away how cared for she is.
    Well Done young man!!😀🤘Champion!

      Thanks for your comment Cairnsxr8. Nice colour on your XR8. I will keep an eye out for you. I’m a fan of Fords too, it’s a shame they are no longer making the Falcons, this country is screwed up at times. Happy Motoring!🙏🙏🤘🚙🙏🍺🙏

    Gavin great sounding V8 if only this car or yours could stretch its legs in Czech where I do 140 and the cops leave me alone or better still German Autobahns would be the GO. Cheers Tom

    • @gavinpavlina
      @gavinpavlina  3 роки тому

      I completely agree. We have all this open space in Australia and unless you live in the Northern Territory, we are limited to 110kph. The Czech roads and German Autobahns are safe and mostly in far better condition than our Aussie roads. Driving a car at speed can be done safely on good roads , our politicians here love regulations and red tape...it’s quite sad .
      I would love to see what my car is like ( as Wayne with his car) driving at a decent speed, unfortunately we would need to go to a racetrack for that, none in Cairns.😔.
      Have a fantastic day Tom🙏😂🚙😔

    Hi Gavin this is Jordan’s car reviews here. That is a really nice looking Ute. What year and month and date is the Ute and what month and date and year did Wayne purchase the Ute. I’m sorry I haven’t been uploading lately’ I will upload as soon as I can and I will try to upload as much as possible. Can’t wait for the next V8 commodore review. From Jordan’s car reviews.

      Hi Jordan, I noticed you have stopped uploading, I guess life gets busy and the videos can be a bit of work to get organised. I look forward to seeing more of your reviews soon. Wayne’s car is a 2011 series 2, he brought it 4 year’s ago. It is his pride and joy and as of 2 months ago is now a “Sunday driver”. It only comes out in the nice weather and is protected by a car cover and a locked garage- he is a lucky fella.
      Take care- looking forward to your next video 🙏🙏

    Unless you changed the motor to the older 6ltr ls2. Your ute came with the L77 6ltr

      @gavinpavlina  3 роки тому

      Hi Tommo, you are correct, Wayne had told me it is a L77, I just had LS2 on my mind.

    Ahoj Gavinek. Měl jsem v životě několik automobilů V8. Byli to vždy velké vozy. Holden Commodore Ute, se mi moc líbí. Poprvé jsem jej viděl v pořadu Top Gear. Pro zajímavost, vyvinul jsem JL technologii, která zvyšuje výkonové parametry: facebook.com/JL-special-power-racing-tuning-155339587819439

      Ahoj Jiří, právě jsem se podíval na tvou stránku na Facebooku, super. Podívám se na to dále se svým překladatelem. Chci přidat do svého auta větší vačkový hřídel a kompresor, ale Pavlina má kontrolu nad penězi, takže musím počkat. Moc se mi líbí motory V8. Díky za sledování.🙏🙏🚙🍺😀
