Last time I went to the ekka, the big car manufacturers were there with their cars. Holden, ford, toyota etc.

I was wondering if anyone has been there this year and seen VEs or knows whether there will be any?

I need something to make up for the girlfriend dragging me through that place all damn day :/

Cheers

Damnit! I had a feeling that i'd be missing out if I went to the ekka today because of the Aug 14 thing.

And whatta ya know? There were 3 VE's there, BUT THEY WERE UNDER BLUE CAR COVERS!!! I was sooo disapointed!

There appeared to be an Omega, SS (or SV6) and a LWB model of some description.

Even under wraps they had a presence over the billion and one VZ they had there.

Someone wrote on another forum that they were there and they lifted up the cover to have a look and ended up getting escorted out by security.

I saw an SV6 on a car carrier while going down the ICB this morning - I nearly ended up in the backside of a Ford Laser..

Talk about one very nice looking machine! Now time to call Zupps and fall in line for a test drive.

That doesn't surprise me. There was a bloke there patrolling the Holden area and kept eyeing me off every time i fiddled with my camera when i was near the VE's. Went as far as standing in front of me to seemingly block the camera.

So I made it look like i was trying to fix it and waited till his back was turned and took some pics of the oh so secret covered up VE's lol.

On the note of coved VEs around the place.

Has anyone seen what Eagers Windsor have done?

They have a VZ Exec out the front on ramps with a car cover on it. :lmao:

Zupps at Aspley have pretty much the whole VE range (minus the statesman of course) uncovered and parked down the side at the moment. I was there on Saturday and had a really good look over them all and nobody questioned me.

Get down there if you want to see them in the metal.
