Yeah.... and if I wanted to hit someone I'd aim properly and give them a soft nudge to topple them over THEN run them over..... Less damage to the cars body that way I figure :shock: :lol:

Edit: or even better, If I wanted to do proper job I'd attatch a railway sleepr to the front of my car.... :roll:

If i wanted a holden for the sake of a holden then I would go for a HD. It was unique in that it was a total marketing failure and hated by buyers.

The HR was much loved though and is still a respected car. Basically it was just a HD with redesigned mudguards.

The 186S was something a bit different though

Wasn't the HD X2 the car that started the race for power btw. the General, Henry and Chrysler?

Yes - I had forgotten about the X2.
Although I think it actually started with the Holden EH S4 which I am not exactly sure how it was better. I had a feeling it was more attention to detail while it was being built and supplied with blue printed and matched componentry.

Anyone ????
