like i said to a mate of mine.."i know it does 13.4 but it's still a holden and it's only a matter of time before the problems start to creep in".
Another reason why I would never ever own an australian built car. :thumbdwn:Quote:

Still prefer Holden over Ford though lol..
The thing is recalls are fine, but recalls for such problems that shouldn't have happened in the first place are ridiculous!
A seat belt buckle that releases itself shouldn't pass ADR in the first place!
the old push rods are from the late 50's i think from trucks...Quote:

I'll stick with jap cars, maybe top model euros when im rich ;)
I can't help but laugh when people say pushrod technology is old.... when DOHC was first used in a Fiat in 1912!!!! DOHC is just as old. (just slightly younger) HAHAHAHAHAH
pfft, i'd still prefer a 351 xy gt over a euro............. for performance.
and myabe for looks.
lol.
