Isn't every issue of Wheels and Motor magazine HOLDEN V FORD .... gets a little old when they compare them month after month for years on end.

Would be awesome if they could run a tv show like 5th gear i think it is. Could be such an awesome show watching them put aussie cars through their paces and giving expert opinions on what they think. bit like how better homes and gardens have their own tv show.

So glad I don't buy ACP's crap motor/wheels stuff anymore.
Nothing like free .pdf's mags from via the web. Mellor and winding road. |

Hey Mickey T, how come the lap times for the “260”kw Holden Monaro CV8 in previous PCOTY were quicker than the 297kw HSV GTO in this years PCOTY? Do you really have to spend $30k to pull slower lap times?
