    Not really, at 5,000kms it was a demo (or a dealer principal's car) that the dealership will be claiming a hefty demo allowance on giving them the room to discount it.

    My new baby.... A worthy replacement to my old Limited CV8R Turbine Mica which was written off whilst I slept by a numbskull... hence the username LTDCV8R. However, now I have my new HSV GTS plated GTSF. All standard with factory Sunroof.

    Got the dealer to just spray wash, no rags.... Spent 8 hours completing a wash, Mothers claybar, McGuires Ultimate Wash and Mothers Pure Carnuba Paste wax. Comes up a treat. Nearly the same colour as my beloved Monaro.

    I read that.
    The GTS pretty much slaughtered the R Spec everywhere, so much so, that the writer referred to the R Spec as a "Fossil".
    Cheers, Pickles.

    I shouldn't think there would be many on the AFF that would be happy with a single word of the article.
    I bought the latest edition of Wheels today & one of the journos in that mag has made a public apology to HSV, because he has said in the past that "HSV are not capable of making a good car"! He has made a 100% unreserved apology, praising HSV, the GTS, & saying that it is definitely the best Aussie produced car ever, & for HSV to produce it for the price they have is outstanding. His words not mine.
    Cheers, Pickles.
