Hehe, better always zip files.. to avoid streaming ;) but I fear the quality is quite low looking at the size...

No, as far as I know it would be enjoyed only in Australia and UK (officially imported by Vauxhall dealers).. I doubt it would be available somewhere else especially where the steering wheel is on the left side ;)

well seeing as they built the Pontiac GTO with the wheel on the left hand side they wouldn't have much trouble sending it to the middle east... :wink:

they already send Holden Commodores (rebadged as Chevrolet Luminas) and Holden Statesmans (dunno what they are rebadged to) over to the middle east...

about 20,000 exports a year... not bad for a car compnay that only builds around 175,000 cars a year...

Thanks, slightly better quality yes, but kinda "noisy" picture. Lots more videos on that site though. Had bookmarked it earlier as a TVR site.
