  • The Aussies are coming!

    Found this on the dark side, and it looks to be fantastic, especially if you're into horsepower. The video tells it all.......Michael, the organizer is shipping a pretty hot Holden to run the PT, and will be looking for possible venues to run his 'Power Cruise' here.

      I love my "Holden GTO" too, but really wanted the Ute/Sport Truck from Pontiac. I need a proper dog hauler and he can't fit in the Goat.

            Saw they are coming out with a Police rear drive caprice....my guess it is the G8 being moved over to the chevy line.

                        Hey Gup (Michael), I met Garith last year in Newton, He told us you guys had some issues with customs and getting your car. Hope to meet you this year.
                        I did see a Power Cruise Banner at the NHRA Lucas Oil Nationals at Brainerd, MN this past August.

                              It's a little tough to get back there, but once you do, the seats are more comfortable than the front seats in a lot of modern cars, not to mention that there is way more legroom than most other new high performance cars (Camaro, Mustang, Challenger)
