Car Forum / Australian Car Forums / General Car Topics (Australian group) / September 2006The Holden Blimp
That's right, I sighted a Blimp today sporting the Holden Logo hovering over Carlton in Melbourne. It was moving away from me so I didn't get to see what the giant red led display was advertising but I'm guessing the new frightful VE moneypit. A arts-school looking chick who saw me looking at it in horror added, "That's my sky, how dare they put that crap in it." Which was followed by, "I'm never buying a Holden." Is the Superbowl in town? God knows how much money they're spending on advertising, with all the paid media coverage the non-inspiring videos at drive.com.au. I got back in my XY Falcon dreading the day that Ford would stoop to use such blatent tactics.

No, it comes from someone who works at Holden. >>I heard that there's been little interest in Holden showrooms in the new >>VE - everyone concerned too much over fuel consumption etc. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Regards, > Noddy. > >I heard that there's been little interest in Holden showrooms in the new > >VE - everyone concerned too much over fuel consumption etc. > > You hear some f.cking strange sh.t at the Gloryholes, don't you?

LOL! My mrs's older brother rocks up to my place in a brand new Calais-V last night V8 of course. I though how nice now the mrs would want an SSV even more now. :-) Its a damn fine vehicle to drive as well. f.cking hell I sound like Oz now. wheres me gun!

No doubt the new one is safer than the old one too, which is very important for your child. > Its a damn fine vehicle to drive as well. Shhh, you'll get the Holden haters all worked up.

But yeah its a massive improvement over my current Calais though unless I spend the money on a decent suspension set up it will be still behind over the VE. And kids uhm oh no I think she might have the oven turned on. I am still praying for crop failure for now anyways. >> Its a damn fine vehicle to drive as well. > > Shhh, you'll get the Holden haters all worked up. f.ck em let them hate it keeps them away from being behind the wheels of them. :-) SignatureRegards Dan > Shhh, you'll get the Holden haters all worked up.

That is a safe bet since an art school bludger will just have to make do with a 1977 Toyota Corolla until she finds a financially supportive partner. > Is the Superbowl in town? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > I got back in my XY Falcon dreading the day that Ford would stoop to use > such blatent tactics. She's in your class then? > She's in your class then? I think a lot of people are running out of things to bitch about now they have to look hard and really nitpick about nothing really. I haven't seen the blimp and if I do so what I saw something flying in the sky. I bet if it was a german brand of car they would be out pulling themselves over it. :-) Well maybe not but art students f.ck off! :-) SignatureRegards Dan -- Regards Dan > A arts-school looking chick who saw me looking at it in horror added, > "That's my sky, how dare they put that crap in it." Which was followed by, > "I'm never buying a Holden." Because, of course, the arts-school looking chick was exactly the sort of person who would have otherwise bought a new Holden, right? :) Marco > That's right, I sighted a Blimp today sporting the Holden Logo hovering over > Carlton in Melbourne. > > It was moving away from me so I didn't get to see what the giant red led > display was advertising but I'm guessing the new frightful VE moneypit. I've seen it a few times on recent trips to Sydney and I have to say that the big screen on the side of it is exceedingly cool. Plays full colour video. I've heard they're planning on flying it around over the AFL Grand Final in order to sh.t Toyota - sort of a nice little bit of revenge for the Avalon stunt on the day the VE was launched. Marco |
