Which link are you clicking on?

I think you're clicking on the joke URL. If you put the real URL into your address bar, you will get the real website.

Its the one irlewy86 posted above.

As soon as you said joke URL I picked it immediately. Been a long day and I'm tired, not as switched on to the jokes like I usually am. Pardon my post, I know exactly what he's done there!

They must be after more government money. Either that, or Jenkins in IT forgot to pay the broadband bill.

Well clearly Holden have shut down production and are skipping the country with bagfulls of money. There will be no updated commodores. Poor Form for Holden for not posting up on this forum and telling us all what the deal is.





......Well thats the conclusion we came to on the XR8 isn't it?
