Right there. That was the Australian culture. Now it's dead and I feel so pissed off that we've been Americanised. This was the Australia that was great. Not the crap that is today
The hell with America and holden, they both suck,and both are evil. When it comes to car manufacturing, the good died young.
Australia is now merely a low ranked state of the USA, we have no individual identity. If you call corporate idolisation of the worst Australia had to offer worthy of praise, you need your head read
GM / GMH is a corrupt company, it has historically and consistantly neglected its responsibility to the very consumers that keep it alive. Supporters are fools, & very ignorant
@Highbudget for sure mate: meat pies will give you bowel cancer, [i found a mouses foot in the last 4 & 20 i ever ate]. Football is a great game ruined, and the players are egotistical, self centered, and too often as ignorant as peasants. And GMH Holden is a leach w/ outdated technology, and the parent company corrupt, like the fiasco ruining SAAB. They had to ruin SAAB as corporate policy dictates, undermine the market, force quality builders to the wall, bleed the victim dry and buy it out.
@ToxicHolocaust2050 Yeah all meat pies give you bowel cancer. Even the ones that are home made by your mum or whoever with their own ingridients. Whatever man. Meat pies dont have to be baught from a supermarket or deli to be eaten just like every other food in this world. And the rest, yeah at the moment am starting to agree with. But lets just say that my coment was aimed for life in 1981
@glennauii Astute mate, the eighties SUCKED. Reagan was in power, and Australia selling out, and preparing for the fire sale of public assets and utilities which followed over the next 2 decades. HOLDEN SUCKS, so too FORD, CRYSLER etc. They had no real competition as their beligerant and ignorant markets gobbled up all the shit they made. A 1990 SAAB technologically SHITS on any GMH of that period. And likewise for many Japanese offerings like Subaru , also AUDI, etc
The globalization idea wasn't bad it was the stupid free market idea that ruined the Australian identity of actually doing anything for it's people...

Nice bit of Australian history. I enjoyed this video. I really hate it when things always seem to turn into a 'my country is better than yours' hate war on the comments. Seriously, Get a life weather you are defending australia or attacking it. Its purely annoying and really stupid. HAVE A MEAT PIE AND A BEER AND GET OVER IT MATE. :)
well i like football, but like a different football aka the one you call soccer, i dont like meat pies, if im eatin a pie i'll eat a curry pie and i dont like holden cars i prefer fancy cars like BMW etc.. but i love this country that people dont care i like these things, so if you dont like Australia please go away and stay away
@smellytoilet1996 The Commodore was based off the Opel sedans until the end of the VT series in 2006 when the VE came out, which is the first all Australian design since the LH Torana of 74.
LOL i had to laugh, at 0:34 where that fattyfatty boomboom was riding that horse for a second i thought they threw in something sexual and dirty i mean cmonnnnn look at what he's wearing, it looked like he was nude FFS lol.
ojh god at 0:16 where she's walking on the beach, man they had nicer racks in the 80's :D couldnt be elle macphearson is it?
i could swear that ad shares some similairities with the current go one better ads holden's putting out, with the way the pictures keep showing different people doing everyday things and having a narrator talking up holden. good ad tho.
But that kind of attitude , although obnoxious and racist or whatever offensivness it exudes, it is still a lack of pretention it is celebrating and that has got to be good.
ah..to be a copywriter back then..and an editor to slot in the flesh shots with the TV announcer's voice. And the car, an opel from Germany with a holden badge and an ancient engine. Trevor Barker's mark is awesome at the end. oi oi oi
To the haters out there sledging Aussies that enjoy this vid.. just stay where you are - its where you belong. This country is too good for the likes of you.
Football, meatpies, Aussies babes and Holden cars ;-) oh yeah!
@brownarsepersuasion Holden won Bathurst in 1990, and it was one of the front runners for the entire race, and finished 2nd the following year. It would have been even faster had it not been hobbled by those ridiculous rules of the time! Do some research before making a post, thanks.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Oh an while you're at it can you name a single feature Holden came up with originally?
Didn't think so.
Holden's executives wish they could get something like a Lexus and you know it. In the years to come they will be alongside Mercedes as luxury classics. And you'll still be in delusion mouthing off about working in the garage on your 'classic' Valiant charger worth a few thousand outside of Aus HAHAHA.
Well the GM muscle cars in NZ were made first at Petone then Trentham. In South Africa they were made at Port Elizabeth. As for Ford in NZ they were made at Wiri and in South Africa at Silvertown. As for Chrysler, they were imported from the USA.
Sell out? gooks? Okay you're a very immature and insecure little bogan who talks crap and lives in delusion and has never been to the Europe he tries to claim. Classics my arse, just ugly crud. Jap cars are the cutting edge face it and grow up loser.
Classic. Frankster's been sitting here all this time waiting to reply. What a sad little individual. Soul or culture? your ability to talk absolute bollocks knows no bounds. Holdens are about the most devoid of character and Soul packs of crap on four wheels ever assembled.
And WTF makes you think any of those Holden's were designed in Australia? Hate to break this to you, those bodies were just designs rejected by Chevrolet and Pontiac. As if ockers could achieve anything like that...
HAHAA Yeah I'm the one with no idea. Yeah I think that indulging in racist and nationalistic escapism makes a person boring and anal and not interesting.
I'm feeling safe assuming you are an uncouth, uncultured, boring and anal little bogan who does nothing with his life beyond watching 'footie', drinking beer and pretending to know something about cars to impress his also loser mates.
And 'sharing'? hahaha that's like not wanting to share a poo sandwich.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Oh whoops, Ford Falcon. My bad, a slip. Not that there's much difference between those crudmobiles anyway.
Where's my racism then? Nah, just defensiveness from you really. You can't handle me giving Holden the mockery it deserves so you take it personally. Small and pathetic.
It's the year 2009 and you're talking about MOPAR's and the Vortex and the Paseo. I always think people who live in the past have deeper mental health issues.
I've just figured it out man, by the way how it thinks the Japs are the ultimate(Even though they've copied most of there engineering from other people, as u mentioned to it) and that a Phase 3 is a Holden. This specimen is definately a GOOK WITH SYPHILLIS, most likely from too much anal sex!!!
Remember that most men living in England are either gay or bisexual, that is factual truth.
A really collectable jap car is the Toyota 2000GT. Dont know if they cost a mil, but they do go for a fortune now. Also, the new LFA have a sticker price around the 800k mark. Not quite a mil, but close.
LOL now this sad little Australian is pretending to be a European. This is a new low.
Okay then mr really lame jokes. Exactly what is this European country you're going to pretend to come from?
Oh and btw when Holden assembled those crappy Chevrolet muscle cars (pretending they were Australian) a good many of them were assembled in NZ. So technically at the time Holden was as much and NZ company as an Aus company.
Car culture? you talk some serious rubbish, loser.
Having a European passport makes you European? hahaha I think we can see who has no idea skippy. If you really were European you wouldn't even know what a Holden is. You couldn't answer my question could you? You've got some European grandparent, you've clearly never lived in any European nation evident by just how clueless you are.
All those Holdens had different where those (uglier) body shapes. All the systems were Chevy systems.
Hahaha yeah I look like an idiot. So Australia is in Europe being situated south of Indonesia and New Guinea?
Australia is an offshoot of the former British Empire and an Anglo-Saxon colonial society. It is in no way European in its values, attitudes, character, etc. There is very little European about it beyond some fringe cuisine introduced post war.If you think otherwise then you must either have a low IQ or have sanity issues.
And Australians descending from Europeans is correct, Europeans are the ones that came to Australia, reproduced, then called them selves Australians, I'm not geographically retarded, I know where my country is situated.
The majority of white Australian people can relate back to there ancestors being from European countries.
For starter's i never requested your address RUFI, i was discussing it with my countryman. I tell u what, i really like this cyber bullying stuff, it really does educate people. Just give it a rest, your worse than a broken record!!!
Well you asked someone to get my address. I'll happily give it to you. And you're dumb enough to look me up you'll get something much worse than cyber bullying back from me convict.
I'll say what I want. It is after all the factual truth. If you don't like it F-off and stop replying.
Steyr (or Steyr-Mannichler) is an AUSTRIAN manufacturer. The rifle is named the Steyr AUG, AUG for Armee Universal Gewehr, what lingo is that? Some of yours were made UNDER LICENCE at Lithgow. It was designed in Austria for the Austrian army, hence the large trigger guard for the gloved alpine troops. Australia and NZ adopted it because they couldn't afford the Armalite AR-15 based rifles (i.e the M-16) and the British SA-80 wasn't up to snuff.
no dude, australia designed it, and the m16 was one of the most poorly designed rifles in history, it over complicated parts and plastic stock make it usless for any half decent army. Australian Commandoes and SAS use the m4 carbine along side the Steyr and M-60. Do some study then bithc, may i ask where you're from?
U carry on like the office working Queer that you are, and then you offer your address to me?YOUR A FUCKING POOFTER!
And if anyone' s looked stupid here, it's you. U like going to war with everybody about Holden all the time, well good on ya, RUFINNO.
I just love how u come out with all these abbreviations all the time, LOL OMFG ARGHA and ABCDEF and G. Spoken like a true queer whom spent to much time in an office and dosen't know anything about cars! Just sit back and watch the show unfold.
Actually I wrote the above slightly wrong, V-TEC ain't standard.
I can't see how the Japanese could have 'copied' any technology from the Yanks and Euros than your crappy cars. It's not as though you clowns could ever come up with anything. Especially considering every single Holden mark has been another GM car since 1980 an OPEL or Vauxhall) with another badge with the exception of those pathetic HSV's (which no other GM company would waste its time developing).
And finally, what's this 'sell out' supposed to mean? oh I get it, it' like you calling oriental cars 'gook packs'. Hilarious and pathetic. Everyone point and laugh at the silly little backward ocker. Get with the 20TH century sheesh.
I wonder if you realise the designers of Aussie Ford's high volume engine were all Japanese outsourced from Mazda?
I know one thing that never sells out, the latest model of Holden hahaha.
LOL Frankster as I've already mentioned just like Australia NZ used to assemble b-grade Vauxhall's and OPEL's and put a holden badge on them. Then the free electricity stopped and the left. NZ also used to assemble Toyota's and Isuzu's before the protections stopped. Sadly the Aussie taxpayer still carries this rubbish company.
Holden's no more an Australian owned car company than Vauxhall's an English owned car company.
oi fuckwit i was agreeing with hsv clubby about his comment that your a tool not saying that they are the most exported vehicle i said the commodore in general is the most exported vehicle anyway im over this fuck off and get a life
I'm telling u right now that your wasting your time responding to this freak. If ya like, i reckon u, me, and clubby go find the address of this Drug Fucked Poofter and give it a good serve.
truekiwijoker your a fuckhead and exactly hsv clubby toyota sell more cars overall holdens one model has outsold every other major model of each car brand for 13 years and not to mention being the most exported car in the world cunts might think holdens are shit but the facts speak for themselves
truekiwijoker Another fuckwit who has no idea! Tell ya what mate, keep driving the shit youre in and keep your unresearched opinions to yourself. Toyota sells more cars overall, Commodore is the biggest selling car for more than ten years running. What does that tell you you moron? Fuck off.
It's great how your response has no relevance to my last posting, because that proves u know nothing of Australia or Bathurst.
And of course your Toyota figures will always be different from me and everyone else's, just do yourself a favour and stop posting on this video.
I think i'm German and i come from Adelaide? U really are running out of shit to say, at least in this country we don't speak english with an impediment that's mocked by everybody the world over.
go wipe the sand out off your vagina, for fucks sake if holden was realy doing more harm than good to our economy the government would cease giving them money (the moneys for expansion& upgrade- not for keeping them in business by the way) and gm would be shutting the doors tomorrow so stop talking out your arse and go suck a dick
TOM WALKINSHAW, JEFF ALLAM, ALAIN MENU, AHMIN HAHNE, JEFF ALLAM, ROBERTO RAVAGLIA, JOHNNY CECCOTTO, JOHN FITZPATRICK, SAM POSEY, JOHN ANDRETTI, ROLAND RATZENBERGER, KLAUS NIEDWIEDZ, ANDY ROUSE, JOHN CLELAND, is that enough for ya pal. And last but not least, about half the cars that competed in the 79 trial WERE EUROPEAN!
While not being anything terribly out of the box, they were fairly solid cars. The parents had a 1980 VC for 22 years. It spent most of its life driving on country roads of various standards, over grids and through gravel bottomed creek crossings. It was still going strong the day it retired. They were tested in various types of terrain (including the outback) and held up fairly well. This was after some significant design changes to the original Opel model.
Well hello Tony, and thankyou very much for making this posting. At last i finally have someone to justify my info on the early Commodores. And best of all, someone who has had first hand experience with that particular model!!!
It is great to show some proof to all those ignorant knockers out there, especially all those EX-PAT KIWI'S who just don't FUCKING KNOW!
Oh but that's right, i remember, this is all just typical round the barbeque ocker talk.
If you look after and give proper service to almost ANY car you can get 22 years of service. The mother of a joker I knew in NZ still drove a 1976 Skoda and it was i excellent condition. There's even some people with well preserved LADA's and Trabant's around.
You really can't quit can ya! You are as thick as they come and once again i can tell by your response to the 79 Repco Trial, as u admitted, that you have no fucking idea on what your saying.
U really must have to much maori in ya, which explains how ignorant and stupid u are. And i'm not the one getting sensitive here,
because i'm not the one who keeps responding with factless ingnorant shit!
I'm European background not an anglo interbred speer chucker like yourself.
But i'm easy, if your want to keep going we'll keep going eh. And again real intelligent talk by comparing Toyota's sales with Holden's, when Holden is a subsidiry compared to an international company. Why don't u compare it to Gm's overall sales, ignoramous? Gm might be recovering from financial crisis but it still managed to outsell Toyota last year, still making it the world's BIGGEST CAR COMPANY! Yes, back to the unknown Bathurst 1000 again.
Just because u know fuckall about the race and race drivers in general, here's a continuation of REPUTABLE DRIVER'S WHO HAVE COMPETED THERE- ALLAN GRICE, CRAIG LOUNDES, GARTH TANDER, MARCOS AMBROSE( WHO NOW COMPETES IN THAT MOST PEOPLE KNOW NASCAR SERIES!), DICK JOHNSON, KEVIN BARTLETT, JIM RICHARDS( He's a kiwi by the way), ROBBIE FRANCIEVIC( Oh look, another one), NEVILLE CRICHTON(!!!!!), GREGG HANSFORD, RUSSELL INGALL. The Internationals that eveyone but u has heard of - WIN PERCY, JACKY ICKX
so in future i strongly suggest that u start looking up the Holden and Bathurst 1000 sites, and give yourself an education(u really need one) on the Australian industry and it's motorsport!
Because if u don't like copping these sort of responses, Fuckoff Youtube then, and don't write any more shit, AMEN.
P.S.
Here is a list of REPUTABLE DRIVER'
S whom went to the Bathurst Unknown 1000- PETER BROCK ALLAN MOFFAT MARK SKAIFE
Despite high fuel prices and the recession. U obviously have never lived in Australia, have ya! The majority of our roads are rough, regardless of suburbia. Have u heard of the 1979 Round Australia Trial numbnuts? It was a big road rally run around the whole country, with most of the stages being run on rough unsealed roads. The Holden Dealer Team came home 1-2-3 out of field of hundreds, with the Commodores handling the knocks quite well despite hitting potholes and tree stumps along the way.
U really are an ignorant ass who dose'nt know when to quit! I can just tell how ignorant and illiterate of Australia u are by your Fucknuckle comment's on Bathurst and when you don't believe that the suspension on the Opel test models fell off. YES IT DID. I will keep telling your dumb kiwi self and i will say this very slowly for you,- The Commodore does not survive on subsidies, it survives because it is still the top selling car in australia and it's big export market!!!
with the majority of it's Statesman and Caprice production(whats a Statesman or Caprice???) being shipped to the Middle East. If it wasn't for Holden exports, NZ would'nt have anything decent to drive.
And Bathurst is a well known race that has featured international drivers, and is a popular pick in England who had many of it's drivers race during the GroupA category.
So in future get the facts and some background car knowledge of Australia, or DON'T BOTHER POSTING YOUR SHIT ON YOUTUBE!!!
on the Opel version the front end suspension fell on the road, along with other chassis faults. Therefor the engineers had to strengthen those area's to make the car suitable to our conditions. That's what AUSTRALIAN STANDARD'S REFER'S TO, don't confuse it with the expensive features and the high panel gap quality the German's have had on their top level models!
And when has Holden ever been unheard of past NZ, what the Fuck has NZ ever produced? Holden still has a thriving export market

Holden used American made Chevrolet V8s from 1968 through to 1974, but also used Australian made Holden V8s from 1970 through to 1999.
All Australian built Holden's from 1948 to 1968 and 1974 t to 1986 only used Australian designed and manufactured engines.

Oh an while you're at it can you name a single feature Holden came up with originally?
Didn't think so.
Holden's executives wish they could get something like a Lexus and you know it. In the years to come they will be alongside Mercedes as luxury classics. And you'll still be in delusion mouthing off about working in the garage on your 'classic' Valiant charger worth a few thousand outside of Aus HAHAHA.

Where do you think the Chevs, Fords and Mopars in South Africa, NZ and other parts of the world came from?
Chev SS, Fairmont GT, Chev Kostanta. all Aussie cars exported to Seth Efrica. sometimes a ckd.
Torana's and Holdens were exported around the pacific.
The only muscle cars in NZ are the ones Holden, Ford and Chrysler sold there, or some privately imported US ones.
Ok your a sell out to the gook packs, we get that. take their lack of classics and instantly obsolete style and go.
Frankster177 2 years ago
Well the GM muscle cars in NZ were made first at Petone then Trentham. In South Africa they were made at Port Elizabeth. As for Ford in NZ they were made at Wiri and in South Africa at Silvertown. As for Chrysler, they were imported from the USA.
Sell out? gooks? Okay you're a very immature and insecure little bogan who talks crap and lives in delusion and has never been to the Europe he tries to claim. Classics my arse, just ugly crud. Jap cars are the cutting edge face it and grow up loser.
truekiwijoker 2 years ago
What were though?
They were Monaro's called the Chevrolet SS.
And Aussie Falcon GT's called Fairmont GT's.
They also had some homegrown ones like the Perana and the Frirenza.
The NZ ones were Aus designed ones assembled in the Shakey/Sheep isles.
haha
Japs only have about 3 classic cars that bring big money.

Holden made cars which bore no resemblance to the muscle cars in the US.

Are you really this ignorant?
Steyr (or Steyr-Mannichler) is an AUSTRIAN manufacturer. The rifle is named the Steyr AUG, AUG for Armee Universal Gewehr, what lingo is that? Some of yours were made UNDER LICENCE at Lithgow. It was designed in Austria for the Austrian army, hence the large trigger guard for the gloved alpine troops. Australia and NZ adopted it because they couldn't afford the Armalite AR-15 based rifles (i.e the M-16) and the British SA-80 wasn't up to snuff.
truekiwijoker 2 years ago
no dude, australia designed it, and the m16 was one of the most poorly designed rifles in history, it over complicated parts and plastic stock make it usless for any half decent army.

Holden Commodore is the best selling car...

While not being anything terribly out of the box, they were fairly solid cars. The parents had a 1980 VC for 22 years. It spent most of its life driving on country roads of various standards, over grids and through gravel bottomed creek crossings. It was still going strong the day it retired. They were tested in various types of terrain (including the outback) and held up fairly well. This was after some significant design changes to the original Opel model.

on the Opel version the front end suspension fell on the road, along with other chassis faults. Therefor the engineers had to strengthen those area's to make the car suitable to our conditions. That's what AUSTRALIAN STANDARD'S REFER'S TO, don't confuse it with the expensive features and the high panel gap quality the German's have had on their top level models!
And when has Holden ever been unheard of past NZ, what the Fuck has NZ ever produced? Holden still has a thriving export market
