    Different dealers different results I think. Keep nagging, I sure as hell will be!

    I see pre HSV's(coming from Adelaide) & post HSV's getting trucked all the time.... Sorry to bust your bubble but they're treated just like every other Australian made car...whacked on the back of a CEVA carrier.... Sometimes even a two car carrier...... Actually... I think toyota's get some protective film. HSV couldn't give a toss how your car is treated once it leaves their factory as its fully paid for.

    I spoke to the dealer on Tuesday, car was due about the 20th now saying another week to 10 days , might be lucky to see it by the end of the month.

    Bubble is fine, thanks. Not bothered one way or another really. Mine has apparently made it to Brisbane.

    Read elsewhere that there may be an unsold perfect blue GTS at a dealership in Perth.....if true and you want to get one you could save a long wait....

    Perfect blue GTS next to the bluey VK

    Yep City Motors Holden has it in the yard awaiting someone to take it home, must say it looks shite in Perfect Blue but will probably appeal to some West Coast Eagles fan.

    Re: Supercharged HSV? - Part 3

    I like the blue & I am definitely not a west coast or parramatta supporter

    but I like the sort of retro feel of the blue even though it isnt an actual bluey, I have had 2 red HSV's and 1 Black and I am not into silver..... I was either going to go white or blue

    I have been told 11/10, but I assume anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks from that, based on dealers lie and HSV will have backlog & most likely parts issue, I hope you all get em before month end... I will just be happy when I get it regardless

    I dare say once the cars start arriving at dealers there will be a stockiple of them by Xmas...let's face it they are a $100k driveaway car and that is a lot of money to finance..well out of reach for a lot of people....

    lol it was only my opinion of course, but going by the photos it's not the pick of the colour.

    Here is a few pics of it.

    I don't mind the blue...I would however paint the calipers a different colour..probably blue like the car

    Blue looks ok callipers probably be good in Silver. Although it may look great in the flesh as these cars for some reason dont look all that good in photos really

    Yeah, agreed. I reckon that it is the calipers that ruin it for me as well. Perfect Blue is not a bad colour, they should have kept Voodoo (maybe slightly biased).
