Ha,Ha,Ha, @ Glacier,how did you find out I drive like a grandfather? Seriously though, I never did use my ute beyond it's design capabilities. It did some work, but was mostly used for highway work, driving all over nsw. It was just a sandman ute, not a speed king.

If I had wanted something quicker I would have looked at a V8 Chrysler ute, or a 5.8 litre Ford ute. They were way ahead on power, compared to Holden's best offering at the time. It matter's little now though, these adventure's happened a lifetime ago.
