HSV V series II

[fpv_gtho]

well the only real satisfaction my dads gotten from one of his cars is the drum brakes on his f250 would give someone whiplash! all the others either are giving him headaches, or like the 2 toyotas, arent anything special

Well rember crisis little thing he has at the bottom of his posts that is so true with cars they cost money their hard to maintain and so on and so forth but their well worth it most of them time.

[fpv_gtho]

well they sure beat walking

[Falcon500]

Tety most certainly do though i still do a lot of waling rather then drive the sunny it brings out the pedetrian in me.

motorbikes are good if u wanna keep ur costs down

cheaper to buy
use less fuel
cost less to service (only two wheels and olny two tyres and usualy only two cylinders etc...)
go faster than nearly every car out there

sad thing is they just somehow lack the fun of raw V8 grunt...

[Falcon500]

If you want to be a true eccomist get a fiat 500 they get 53mpg (or 5l/100 km for those who understand metric better) or a hondusaki madmusel motor scooter or a posty bike (incidently made by holden).
If not then go hard or go home....

[fpv_gtho]

those fiat 500's must lack balls. the mileage they get per tank is nothing compared to a v8 supercars 60L/100km but then again, the "500" in its name is for its cubic capacity isnt it

[Falcon500]

yeah its half a liter in size and makes 18 hp and tops out at 96 km/h (or 60 mph) if you want an eccomy car why not take the finest from tony land.

[fpv_gtho]

i think some people would rather pick up a used daewoo matiz. i think its the worlds most economical petrol engined car

[Falcon500]

Yes but their cheap because their is nothing to the cars their that lacking ion ever feild i stoopd their open mouthed it was almost scary

Lets not be silly here. Forget economy and enjoy what you drive. If you want to dance you have to pay the fiddler!

You know how the new VY series 2 has 285kw or 292din, what does the DIN mean??

[pato]

shouldnt be posted here but anyway...

DIN is a german (as far as i know well it stands for deutch industrial norm) measurement of power, the 285kw is the older ECE way of measureing power, hsv have started quoting their cars in terms of DIN because all fords are quoted in this method and they want to show that their cars are infact more powerful than the FPV fords because looking at the ECE figure u wouldnt know this

[fpv_gtho]

7kw is shit all anyway. hsv are so shit scared about FPV theyve got to increase their power up to them and keep their cars lighter

[Falcon500]

7kw is shit all and holden seem to think increasing their power by 5 kw on most models is fine.
HSV dont want to loose their dominance of that market share neither does its bankrupt onwer tom walkenshaw.
