  • Beecham Holden is the last dealership in Australia that has all their Holden Signs up as a Holden Dealership. They have been forced to take them down this week and to celebrate The End of an ERA for Holden, they put on a all Holden Day car meet.
    I think there was one of nearly every model Holden turn up for this and Dadz Garage was there with my mate (Mr HKTG) Darren Shelton to capture this event. Check out the cool drone footage of this event that Darren did for us.

      And bought a Factory in Korea that was a Daewoo factory and they refurbished the factory and no doubt employed the former Daewoo factory workers. The Holden Captive we bought was a nice looking car and we got 10 years out of it, which is more than most got out of theirs, but we did have our problems with the quality of the manufacturing. The motor should have had a chain instead of a timing belt, that was its undoing, nobody wanted to work on them because of their reputation of bad quality. It sits in our mechanic’s yard now for more than two years, waiting for a miracle and we already told him he can do what he likes with it. We have given up hope but it was a good car to drive.

    It’s a shame but it’s the inevitable result of a long line of bad decisions, I have owned a Holden Apollo which was really a Toyota Camry and a Holden Captiva, which is really a Daewow, and a Camera which just wasn’t a good car to buy because it lacked quality and everyone else seemed to know this except me and didn’t tell me until after I bought it. If you produce so many rubbish cars, you bring down the value of all the cars you produce no matter how good many of the cars were. Peter Brock would role over in his grave if he could see what has happened but I am sure that many Holden’s will be around for a long time yet. In my defence, I had seen them using Cameras as stunt cars at Movie World and that left me thinking they must be ok because they used them for precision driving day after day and they had to be reliable for that and when ours was running well it went okay. My Holden Torana was a very good reliable car, I almost forgot about it. I would not mind owning one of these cars in the post except for the fuel bill.

      Same thing with Pontiac here in the Chinese colony formerly known as the US...GM would literally destroy the entire world to keep Pontiac engineers from continuing to embarrass their sacred Chevy division...their obsession with making everything slower than the Corvette at literally any cost-- instead of simply trying to make everything faster-- led them from global dominance to well-deserved total irrelevance.
