Re: No More Commodore or Astra

Bye bye Commodore, some memories, mostly good:
VH 253 auto deciding to steer using the tail overtaking a semi on a sweeping downhill overtaking lane south between Bunbury and Dawesville. It was a beautiful car otherwise, so smooth and nice.
Bro's 202 VC giving each roundabout in the suburb a perfect circle black ring.
VR 3.8 wagon with the timing sensor deciding to go on smoko while car was running, resulting in everything shutting down while on the go. Intermittent fault would never replicate for the dealer. Despite that, took car across Nullarbor and it did well. Fords of same era much better imo.
VY 3.8 Ecotec - beautiful car, very reliable. So smooth and comfortable around town, good highway cruiser. My favourite. I'll be controversial here and say it was a better product than the AUII we had at same time - but we all know the AU is actually the best. Nice interior materials too that have stood the test of time.
VE SS manual when new, pretty impressive cornering and performance.
VE SS wagon, black, Mad Max meets family duties.
VE GTS with launch mode, that was nuts.
