well last friday i finally decided to go for my Learners,
i got them and have been driving around in the old mans bug. AWESOME!

the down side is i have to do 50 hours before i can drive on my p's and becoz dads car aint always here i have to drive a swift. shit box "cough cough"
and the other thing is it has Betty Boop seat covers and those stupid dangaly winnie the pooh things that you put on ur windows. and my sister wont let me take them down.
I had this car load of boys pull up next to me in a commodore and do that fag hand thing, wave and blow kisses. I went so RED and was so imbarrassed.

Just remember mate that young guys in commodores are all dickheads, i was in my kombi once and a dunnydore full of young boys were in it and said you wanna race i looked at them and said what do you think dickhead, commodore is latin for f$%^wit. Holdens were cool till they bought out the VB commodore, then it all went down hill.


fekkinell - June 10th, 2006 at 01:01 PM

dont worry... i had the same thing driving my ex's beetle... was in the city and a carload of guys were giving me crap... i just wound down the window and casually said to them "keep laughing guys, but im on my way to sleep with the blonde chick that owns this bug... enjoy your night... chapel st's that way" and took off :D


steve-89 - June 10th, 2006 at 04:33 PM

Schmoburger - June 10th, 2006 at 04:49 PM

yep... commo drivers are wankers... mind you i own two of them... but they are bog standard stationwagons hehe

I've had a a few dickheads in dunnydores pull up at lights laughing... dragged em off a few times... ignored there asses a few times... but last time, they decided too give me some shit.... so my curt response was... "Yeh mate, see how long it takes your polished turd to be wrapped around a tree... next Commodore you'll be riding in will be a shiny white and blue VY..."... and with that burned of some rubber round the corner...
cant be bothered humouring wankers anymore

If ya drive half an hour a day steve, shouldnt have any trouble getting ya 50 hrs up... I did my last 20 hours within one month then racked up another in the 2 months 30 between then and getting my P's.... so yeah... 80 hrs, and 50 were done in 3 months :tu: :D

Good luck man!


Joel - June 11th, 2006 at 09:19 AM

man, sometimes i forget how lucky i was being on the old system
full licence at 18
VWs will always be picked on by the wankers brigade thats why i love sleepers so much, completely unexpected
there are to many hot looking vws out there that couldnt drag off a loaded school bus coz ppl would rather spend all their $$ on looks rather than perfomance
chrome wont getya home baby LOL

66deluxe - June 11th, 2006 at 10:51 AM

I work with a commodore driver and i lay the shit on him big time, he says it aint a commodore cause it's actually a berlina whats the f%^&in difference, so now i just call him a lexcen driver. His first day at work he asks me what car i drive i tell him a VW, then he says i think VW's are a bucket of shit, i then come back with your a commodore driver aren't you. The battle continues.


Schmoburger - June 11th, 2006 at 03:50 PM

Heheh...yeh... I got a mate with a Lexcen... goes on about hopw good his Commodore is... so he is promptly brought down with "Mate!...its a Lexcen... its a fuckin TOYOTA!!!... not a Commodore!"... :lol:

Should see him get up in arms! :D

Commo drivers eat :P


steve-89 - June 11th, 2006 at 04:13 PM

hahaha.....
DUB74L: sleepers are awesome, a friend of ours has a ke30 corolla, everyone pays him out as he s sitting at the lights waiting, because its not the nicest or neatest car you will ever see, and they are always people with commos or fords ETC, but little do they know it actually has a 1G motor (twin turbo supra, runs a 12) and when they see you take off they think WHAT THE, that aint supose to do that.
Shits em right off.

mscabrio - June 11th, 2006 at 04:52 PM

Blutopless used to be a Commodore lover until he bought a brand new new SS which was a lemon, now he is more into VW's than me !!!!!!! His oval has a really deceptive. It is always funny to see the looks on others faces when he totally blows them away at lights in the oval


tinman - June 11th, 2006 at 06:55 PM

HAHAHA nice come backs fekkinell and 66deluxe. I would have loved to have seen their faces.

I remember a few years back me a few mates took a run up to double bay at sydney for some ice cream and we went through the city. This VB crapdore pulls up next to us. He'd spent that much on thing trying to make it look like a mercedes that it was laughable. He had body kit look a-like and even modified the dash.
My mouth dropped open I was that shocked at how shit it looked before one of the passengers sticks his head out the window and says he'll stab me if I keep looking at the car. COME ON, it was bright canary yellow!!!
What a buch of fully sick w@nkers!!!


bajachris88 - June 11th, 2006 at 07:02 PM

lol, i'm a VP commodore driver :P

Does that mean i can blame my 'dickheadness' to the car!! Lol.
The drivers might be a-holes, but the car itself is great. Ours is still ticking and starting 1st time, and since 91 its been driven absolutely everywhere, all conditions, all speeds. The downside would be the interior, the plastics just don't last as long as steel.


steve-89 - June 12th, 2006 at 09:05 PM

mscabrio: that lil oval flies hey, it use to be mine, i wish i ket the bluddy thing.

-Staggers.


mattie - June 15th, 2006 at 12:05 AM

My VN shits me.... Ive got the headlining pinned and stapled up in a zillion places cos it has come unstuck from its backing....and every other VN seems to have the same issue. :(

VN paint is also shithouse... colored layer fades and the clear layer lifts and it all goes chalky no matter how well looked after the car is. Basically...drive it in the sun and your up for a respray. :lol: :duh

the fuel pump, crank angle sensor and oxygen sensor commonly go south... my one has done 3 crank sensors, two oxygen sensors and a fuel pump since 1999. It's also had two coil packs replaced within 6 months of one another....after which I put in a pack from a VR.

I also had to replace the steering rack last year as it was pissing out all the ATF from the p/steer ont the ground... I'd have to top it up after every drive! :duh

The air con is intermittant, the rear vents for whatever reason no longer allow air through, and the automatic shifter is very crappy... imprecise and has a quite a lot of play. ad Commodore handbrakes are worse than VW ones!

saying that tho...I stilll like it....not love it by any means...but ive grown attached, as it was my first registered car. And I do indeed like the power reserves... although mine still seems noticably sluggish.

One thing I do really enjoy about it is the fact that It hasnt been started in two months, yet it kicked over first go still when i gave it a run... does seem to have some flat spots tho.

but anyway...Commodore rant over :D


Yogie - June 15th, 2006 at 01:34 PM

I bought a new VN wagon when they were first released. I dorve it ou tof the showroom and it was stuck in 2nd gear. Had to go back to get it fixed before I could go home. On the way home, the speedo broke and I got a fine. Over the next 6 months, we had something like 43 faults in it. After the front passenger window just shattered one night, we got rid of it and will NEVER buy a holden again.

bajachris88 - June 15th, 2006 at 01:39 PM

yeah, the headlining seems to die often.

I can't say the commodore hasn't had any work. its always been left in the weather, and after 14 yrs, only started to develope some rust (surface) on the pillar between the front and rear door on the drivers side. Other than that, neva says die.

Rumour has it the old holdens just keep ticking. My uncles kingswood does, can't say it has been perfect, especialy after a shockie smashed through its mount and the bonnet :o (but thats another story, Hehe)
