.......................................... Dave Wilton's Special Edition Holden Report - Issue #13
  • The holden has been working relatively hard the past few weeks. It is a rather annoying vehicle to drive without a handbrake......which is to be mended in the near future.

  • The drivers door is now being opened backwards with a passenger door handle, works like a dream, but did take a while to get used to.

  • The warrants expired now so a new one is high on the priority list to avoid embarrasing and annoying situations like the one that arose last Saturday evening. Myself, Wog and 6 other lads and ladesses were on our way to the comedy festival and the 'boys/girls in blue pulled us over for a looksee. Wog, the sober driver, escaped with a warning, largely due to the fact his lawyer was present. The holdens been taking it easy since that incident, but no doubt will roar back into life with a new W.O.F.

  • P.S - Sam's door is looking more likely to be eaten by him in the very near future.

  • The Holden beats its own record for money spent on a tank of gas. $75 plus additives was the total bill when the lads returned from Australia.

  • The driver's wing mirror still hasn't been fixed.

  • Sam has now very cunningly put himself out of the driver's seat to join Steve in his incapacitated state. While in Sydney Sam went to a physio to check up on a nagging neck/ shoulder injury that he has been nursing. He was very quickly put into a neck brace and is now receiving nearly daily treatment for a bass-playing rsi! Sam's keyboard skills are back in full force as we battle through the gigs as a band thats firing on about 2 1/2 of the 6 cylinders.

  • Holden fact No.21: Holden's make great ambulances.
