As a child it was V8, RWD Holdens that adorned my walls. If I ever have a son, and I tell him that I was a Holden man, he'll wonder what there was to get excited about, as all he'll know of Holden is beige, badge-engineered commuter-fleet dreck.

That's nothing. My girlfriend had to go for a chunder when we were making lasagne. I had to take over during the béchamel sauce bit. Didn't even split.

Is the robot it will inevitably transform into good or evil?

That's why we have Germans.

The 4C is going to do that job just fine...

Not bad, for a travesty.

*shudder*. I think Fiat knows better than to sully their brand like that. The aftermarket, however, can do what it likes.

Only when Formula 1 has a supporting truck series (F 1-tonners?).

Screw that guy! He can buy a Rapide or a Quattroporte or, if he has no soul, a Panamera. Ferrari is sacred. A four door would serve only to awaken Il Commendatore, and if you thought old man Enzo was angry when he was alive, you don't want to seem him as a zombie.

Sacralige! One of the reasons for my prancing horse fanboyism is their steadfast refusal to build a sedan or SUV. Purity of the breed, man, purity of the breed. But if you're desperate I know a certain Sultan with a couple of these quietly rotting away.

Holden Coupe60, AKA the VE Monaro that never was. Why do you taunt me thus?!?!

Yeah, we may have borrowed it from Victoria.

We've long had the best road safety campaigns, often ending with the tag-line "if you drink and drive, you're a blody idiot". Some of them are funny, but most of them are horrific, well produced and highly effective.

Good-bye, Pork Pie. A kiwi film from 1981. Cops in HQ Holdens, beautiful scenery, New Zealand's favourite Mini and the world's greatest accent. What's not to love?

Aaaaah, "McSkids". I'm lovin' it.

Yeah, if you take out my foreignness (although I hold a UK passport and drivers licence) I should get a great rate. Clean licence, 5 years plus NCB and have been driving for 13 years (you could get a licence at 15 in NZ when I started). I DO live in Harringay, though...

Yeah, I know people with quite reasonable insurance prices, I was just sharing my tale of misery and woe! It does seem like they have some pretty arbitrary rules. I'm also irritated they won't accept my kiwi NCB. I just want an old Alfa, is that too much to ask?

While I dig your style, There are very few cars less suited to UK roads than a V8 Lincoln. Did you import it yourself?

Yeah, I think my grand-father would turn in his grave (if he hadn't been cremated) to see what the Britain he left behind has become. Or maybe he saw the writing on the wall back in '75 when he moved the family to NZ.
