While doing some study for university the other night my friend messaged me and told me to meet him and some of my other buddies in town. Since it was 10 pm i said go away. 5 min later i hear honking and see four way flashers going on my front lawn. Apparently my friend got his car, which is a Holden Berlina Wagon.

For those of you who arent in Australia or havent heard of holden here is a pic of a car like his:

V6 auto with something like 170 kw.

Anyway exactly one day later I get a message from him, he red-lined it and blew the engine appart. In his words "I was doing 80 kmh in 1st gear and it didnt change up a gear" (I dont believe him) But yeah, dont know how that is possible haha. I got a kick out of it.

 

That wagon is teh hots! Too bad it boomski on him. I have to agree with you about the "not shifting" thing. But, it also sucks hardcore because that is a new wagon I would die for!

 

Yeah they look good, but as the saying goes "They are like A** Holes, everyone has one."

The mini on the other hand, i think there is only one other guy with a done up MC in the brisbane area.

 

Wish we had these up here!!

 

Haha, they would sell like wildfire in the USA. They are as common here as the Suburbans or mini vans are in the USA.

 

That is the new upmarket version of the Holden Ute, yes that is what it looks like stock from the factory.

 

OOOHHH MY! Damn you Austraila! If I visit, maybe I can rent one!

 

Haha, they dont like it when you speed either.

 

Sweet.

 

The Dodge Magnum is proving Americans are okay with stationwagens. The Pontiac GTO was a lame badge engineered attempt, don't really know why it fizzled.
