This is a Holden Commodore ute fitted to a Nissan Patrol chassie and fitted with a 5ltr injected Holden engine and 38inch swampers. Just thought you might like to see something different from down under. No its not mine its a mates.

obviously its not a mall crawler (he is using it)

that spotter guy, is wild, ive had him spot for me, and i would never stand in front of my car with me driving, its all rev, rev bang, and out of control, but he jumps on and hangs on (pretty much like the wild spotters you guys have over there) :flipoff2:

it looks really good and the guy normally builds pretty showy cars, but to me its UGLY, although i sorta like it (dunno why) but it is a real head turner!!

what the hell is a fneder scoop daniel? :confused:

On behalf of the rest of the Aussies let me apologise for that piece of :rainbow: crap. We do make some kick ass rigs and that is definitely not one of them. I am sure it took the owner a loooong time to make it like that and he/she likes it.

Let me educate you on what some of the better Aussie rigs usually look like.

That doesn't make it look any better:flipoff2: It's still a "Brat" knock-off no matter how much you dump into what's under the hood:p

Actully it's a ElCamino knock off. Holden is part of GM. http://www.holden.com.au/app/serve?page=uteOverview&cartype=15003&id=storm
Pontiac is looking at the car version as the new GTO complete with the 5.7 TPI engine 6speed and rear wheel drive.

:)
Hope it makes it here with out the typical Pontiac slap a bunch of goofy looking plastic body clading on it treatment. Looks pretty sweet to me as it is.

Ummm...hate to break it to you but Holden's been making Utes in Oz since back in the 40's.
Actually the Bratt, El Camino and the Ranchero are all Auzzie ute knock offs.

I'd love to have a Holden SS Ute as a DD.
