Yeh what was the useless prick driving at the start of the program ...that's right a lump of European shit for exactly what he says holden makes car's for the Australian country and conditions. ..Every australian farmer either had an Australian ute a holden / ford / valiant the country town's there was holden ford valiant as far as the eye could see then in the cities exactly the same that moron can go drive his European crap and I'll be parsing his piece of shit is broken down on the side of the road ...Originally Posted by Blue victor
if the holden ford valiant broke down you could fix it with a pair of pliers and fencing wire ...never did like his opinion the ..... ........ ....
Not quite! It's an Australian made Bolwell Nagari. I think it was a pretty fair assessment of the HJ at the time. It lead to RTS, rear disc brakes and I think it's pretty fair to say Holden as a company was milking the public during this period. Doesn't change the fact I still love 'em. As for Peter Wherrett he was typically of car reporters of then and now (John Cadogan comes to mind). Only he wore dresses in his spare time as Pip. Maybe he went DRAG racing!

Non the less what holden did was affordable for the market at the time not making things with all the bells and whistles and putting themselves unaffordable and missing the shot at the average australian ... it's the mid 70s .
This is coming from a guy that put his name to a Sigma with a hair dryer pppffft
crossdresser
The Peter Wherrett Sigma didn't have a turbocharger. The turbo Sigma was a different car & a solely Mitsubishi effort.
Yes his cross-dressing & getting caught DUI didn't help with his public persona.

Ok fair enough still a cross dresser but
The 70s was the best decade for car's in my opinion .
Holden /valiant/ford holden . monaro. sandman
torana slr . slr5000 .l34.
A9x . Gtr . Gtr xu1
Valiant charger.. the big 2 doors 770 ..rt charger .drifter panelvan
The ford xy gt shaker gtho the xa xb xc cobra ..xc sundowner
The super car scare of the early 70s between holden ford valiant they were works of art ...
The last thing I'd be doing is listening to that moron with his comments.

Refreshing to see that reporting. More pride and less greed, would have resulted in better quality vehicles....something we lacked in Australia
