....................... Holden Report - Issue #7
  • Well, we arrived home from Australia to a brand spanking (who's your daddy!) new holden hq waiting for us at the airport. Dave and Wog had put in some long hours painting the vehicle it's new bright yellow colour. Another friend Jasmin spent some time painting the back door with the three 'hear no, see no, speak no evil' monkeys. The Holden is again a joy to behold.

  • After a little bit of bogging and TLC the Holden receives a warrant.

  • ...yes the oil light still mysteriousy comes on.

  • Dave and Sam have the dubious honour of replacing the first flatty since being back in New Zealand. Tony's tire service finally come to the party with the elusive hub cap that disappeared along with the replacement tire.

  • Holden Fact No.8: Greg Murphy drives a Holden

  • Carl manages to get himself out of fixing the stereo...as Dave spent some time under the dashboard doing the deed. Sam has programmed the best of Wellington's radio stations onto the stereo alleviating the pain of dialling the station while driving. It is now just a button's touch away.

  • The fixed seat belt broke again!

  • Steve gets 'Driver of the Month' for rubbing the Holden against a lamp post and scratching the new paint job.

  • Steve gets 'Driver of the Month' (again!) for parking the Holden the wrong way on the wrong side of the road and getting a $40 parking fine.

  • All of the locks on the vehicle have been fixed and a brand new replacement petrol cap has been added to the Holden. Subsequently Carl took the Holden away to Hawkes Bay and Auckland and luckily had the new petrol cap key with him!

  • Holden Fact No.9: Holdens take alot of petrol. In fact they take high octane 96, with 1 additive per every $20 worth of petrol.
