@creativegta o.k.then why when perents tell their children that the sandman is coming to them in there sleep.oh thats right,HOLDEN IS THE PEDO VAN.thats why it is called the sandman......holden+sandman=PEDO.wake up dickhead.
love the good old XB's my dad owns a XB GT and im only 17 and i brought a XB GS ute, and i love it the good drives into town and the fun you have doing it up like the way they came out like adding the nice 12 slots
ford gt yeah ok worth 250 grand ok to whom? yr talking 2 percent of the country be stupid enough or hav enough money to buy such an icon at 250 grand. ask anyone who owns these types of cars their either not for sale or are for sale and no one buyin and to get that type of money u just dont advertise in the local leader
i own a xr6 2006 ford ute done now 160000 km faults as follows both electric windows replaced steering column replaced front end bushed all ratshit brakes spongy after having them replaced wheel alinement needed every 10 thous km because ford put so much negative camber or it will drive like a boat 42000 cost my boss this piece of shit. now i own 2006 japanese built mazda 2 cost 14000 problems with my mazda......zero perfect in everyway. thats all the proof i need
@mike623030 sure each to their own buddy. but yr wording yr comments wrong u should hav said u be pushing yr xr6 while i drive past in my mazda. cheers
@mike623030 1st Skyline isn't a SUV, 2nd XB do not have the height clearance like a SUV to do offroad (includes woodland), 3rd what makes you assume that I am a JAP? (I prefer european cars)
@keitaru suv dont have high speed eather tho my sister got a 1996 parjao and my 1987 xf that has done 430,000 km still beats it off the lights and xb are high if not lowed like alot are these day and where did i say that i assume u where jap??
These things are inefficient fuel guzzlers that only exist now because our uselss government and a handful of aging unionists can accept that our car industry is buggered and only survives with government support.
I'd take a Honda or an Audi over these scrap piles any day of the week.
@DukeDiesalot you ignorant piece of shit, these cars last longer than any shitty honda or audi, your japbox/ eurotrash car will be dead and gone in under 10 years while these "scrap piles" keep on going strong after 35 years.
Good on you for supporting your country you ignorant dickhead and enjoy your overpriced eurotrash while you can because it wont last long...fuckwit
@fordmuscle73 your clearly an illformed idiot holdens and fords even new ones only last for around 10-15 years before there completely fucked.Alot of jap cars out there last for years its a well known fact there far more reliable than holdens and fords.
@67675656565655656565 15 years? yeah right is that why you still see late 80s and early 90s model falcon and commodores in use today all the time. An average ford Taxi will last 6-700 thousand kilometers, call that unreliable?
@fordmuscle73 thats funny because i see alot more 80s and early 90s jap cars around than what i do for fords.Its a well known fact fords and holdens build a far shitier quality car than what ie toyota or nissan does.Those ford taxis may hit those kays but have to have heaps more maintaince than what a camry would need to get done.I have been seeing lately camrys being used as taxis.I ve been around fords my whole life and trust me there shit but so are holdens.
@67675656565655656565 yeah there arent so many early 90s model falcons and commodores around because even i admit they were shit, EA falcons and VN commodores were garbage but the cars before and after them aren't. I see heaps of mid 90s commodores and falcons around, and my falcon is 11 years old and still going fine, while my dads 3 year old nissan navara is starting to rust in the top of the door...
@fordmuscle73 - A Falcon XY GT can be worth $250K - What's a japanese car from 1970 worth? Oh thats right, nothing because they're all recycled into scrap metal. Fuckheads like Dukebullshitsalot don't know their arse from their elbow
@furb393 yeah true, the falcons actually become worth something when they get older, not like these run of the mill jap cars that fall apart as soon as their warranty runs out
Jap shit of the same age is dead it all fall to bits i have an xb falcon it done big km neva let me down original motor box ect goes every day what more could you arsk for? Still looks good to.
The XB was one of the nicest looking cars ever designed and made in this country. But in reality the japs were making cheaper, better quality cars. It was only our tarrifs that kept them out... we were really ripping ourselves off, we don't have the population for a car industry, it's just a prestige thing, like airlines, nuclear powerplants and capital warships!
i still recon if you check NRMA records you will find more holdens still on the road then ford of the same year! but you nevr know i may be wrong......:)
ford ahould make some sort of coupe concept like holden;s coupe 60 ,WITH 2 DOORS big 8 or and the f6 turbo engine now that wuold sell there gettin there with the typhoon,gt
XB Hardtops are fucking awesome muscle cars!!! That bloke in the last commercial looks strikingly similar to the character Brian Fantana off that Anchorman The Legend Of Ron Burgundy movie.
i had an xb panel van . green like the one in the add. very reliable machine. but wouldnt be driving it today. the technology is just too out of date. its a vintage car now.
LANDAU?...I have got one..1974 model copper bronze colour with white padded vinyl roof and 351 V8..see the username..wish there was a TV ad for LTD/Landau
I can remember going to Kentucky fried chicken on a friday night in our ex-taxi XB "with the vinyl roof" that covered the taxi holes. Dad whacked in a speco floor shift conversion. Then extractors (on a 250) full twin system. A barking beast!
So much fuckin spam on this page! Cheers for the vid, love how the bloke was able to disappear into the wilderness at :34 and recover without having to resort to those new fangled disc brakes. Cheers
