That’s not rally racing; it’s the V8 supercars.

Nice photos snowcrazy and tayles.

What ever it is, I am sure it is not the same holden, right?

They are the 3 Holden Commodores of Craig Lowndes, Garth Tander and Jamie Whincup and one Ford Falcon in the background of James Courtney.  http://www.v8supercars.com.au

No its not Holden snowboarding outerware.

Holden is General Motors brand down in Australia, like GM is also branded as Opal in UK and Europe.
The Pontiac G8 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac_G8) that you got over there in the US are actually Holden Commodores from Australia.

Now, I guess I could have looked that up myself, but it was more fun to think it could have been Holden outerwear ... only if for just a moment.
like DC crosses over into racing… I heard they share the DC lab, the private snow park they have… they share the space with snowboarders and cars… crazy!

DC crosses over to racing because of Ken Block who is the co-founder of DC Shoes, and also a rally driver in the DC lab snow park video you mentioned.

I own a Holden, the car that is. grin

Which car do you have?

I looked at the vehicle line up on the website. Not bad, and they seem like inexpensive cars too!

 

Love those shots f@tony

Awesome first car smile
What year/model was it? My mate used to have a HT 253 with a three on the tree gear box, was a ripper car. And another mate had a HZ, but ended up being a paddock bomb

K2, T’was an April built 1975 HJ, just before pollution gear was slapped on them.

Over five years it was painted, retrimmed, lowered, lifted a little higher at the request of the law, made louder, 308 slid in, bolted to a Tri matic.

Heads off to the photo albums for a trip down memory lane…....................

First car was a Holden HQ wagon, red motor, 3 on the tree. I owned it all of a week before forced to sell it because of the rust. Then was given a 4 pot LC Torana.

Azz, blew the box in the VW, got it back today hope to have it installed and running by weekend (weather permitting)
