Is it the same as a Maloo or a different model.
Young Roger can work his magic on those!

The Maloo, is the Holden Special Vehicles UTE, it has 342 hp LS1 , bigger brakes and suspension. = expensive but nice hooligan truck
My one is an SS, top of Holden Vehicles range 302 hp LS1 big disc all round, LSD, traction control/ABS, FE2 suspension. Still a hooligan truck but second fiddle to the Maloo
Maloo has slightly more aggressive styling.but looks similar.
But like having a Sierra XR4 or a Sierra Cosworth, both nice quick cars, but the Cosworth is the top dog

When i was in Auckland a few years back, i popped in to the local HSV dealer.
Got talking to one of the sales reps and he said he had another Brit (pom?) in recently who just bought a Maloo.
'The one from the Prodigy with the funny haircut' he said.
A bit of a petrolhead apparently, is Liam.
Great looking truck by the way, I think these earlier ones look much better without the 'nostrils' & spoilers.

Liam from the Prodge has or had a '68 Charger, I sold him a sure grip for it and a friend of mine painted it. We apologise for this announcement, normal service will be resumed....

Well I've got it now. It arrived the Friday before Christmas 23rd December, I bought it in the early part of September
The battery didn't survive the 3 month journey, but all else is as I expected.
Just needs a rear fog lamp and switch. All checked out MOT wise , so should be MOTed next week.

Very nice. Had my Holden for 17 years now, superb machines, even in V6 form which mine is.

Passed MOT today
Waiting for the NOVA letter now, then get it registered.
Being an Australian car, I only needed to fit a rear fog light,adjust the hand brake shoes, fill up the washer bottle.
