G'day All,
Well I have read, I have admired and I have yearned... For years now (and i mean YEARS, say 10 or more) I have pined and told myself i would get an V8 SS. All my friends have heard the story 1,000 times, i drove them mad with - "I am going to get one". However history will show that I never did get that SS. I have a lovely Berlina (6), VX, VY and VZ (last 3 V6 Exec company cars) - but the ever dreamt and drooled over SS never came to fruition - instead always taking the safe route - and letting the dream slip further away..
UNTIL NOW..
Yesterday - after weeks of procrastination (adding to those years), I walked into a my Holden dealer and put pen to paper... And my dream is almost a reality... So in the next 6-8 weeks i will the proud owner of:
Nickel SSV with
6 Speed Manual
Sunroof
DVD
Rear Park Assist
Full Size Spare
SS Mats.
12 Months Licensing
All up $55,500 on road.. Not sure if i paid too much, but i was happy at the time..
And i have already put in for personal plates: SSALIV8 (Reads Salivate) because i drooled over them for so many years (and they are drooled over).
Anyway, I gerenally keep things quiet until it all happens, but this is just one of those moments i to share...
Paul.
