  • Meet up, lunch and little drive out with some like minded HSV owners. Plenty of looks as these Aussie icons took to the British B roads to make some noise!

    Well as an Aussie, I am horrified to see these brilliant cars on little narrow roads. They need to be on long wide Aussie roads that they were designed for. Please send them home, they belong here!!!...lol...Enjoy them mate. Cheers

      LOL, there are plenty of larger roads don’t worry ;). Seems like a few of them are making their way home now as the price difference is huge.

      @@callum4035 Obviously you know nothing about cars. They were built in Australia and exported to the UK for Vauxhall to sell.
      All you have to do is look at the build plate and that will till you. It's in the engine bay and I am sure an owner will show you if you ask real nice

    I think the UK and NZ got the better looking versions, as for some reason the rear spoiler is not that common here in Aussie and I think it looks far nicer with it. I am generally not a fan of spoilers either

      No, Holden closed in 2017 after GM shut it down, so no more HSV cars like these any more. The Pontiac GTO was an Australian built car and exported to America.

    Until a few years ago I had an ex-cop XC 351C Falcon Interceptor. It had the standard exhaust, bonnet scoops and Dukes Of Hazard mag wheels. I've lost count of the number of times Monaro drivers would come alongside and dare me to go for it. Never lost, not once. It didn't have the 351 badges on it and fooled everybody.
