Last weekend Australia's biggest street machine car show was held with over 100,000 people attending.
The show is called SUMMERNATS and one of the standout cars was this light blue Holden (General Motors) pick-up. We call them utes or utilities in OZ and this guys 'Ute' had been heavily modified and sounded fantastic.....the guy also has some Holden (GM) race car injection bits on the motor.
Talking to the guy he said that it was his first car and he just kept after it was smashed by a drunk driver. He then decided to do the number on it.....he must have spent a bucket of money of the ute and it is always great to see guys who still have their first car eh !!!!
There is a video clip of the guy talking about his car on the carsofaustralia website. It's located in the Downloads & Owner Interviews section. Go to: www.carsofaustralia.com.au/downloads_and_fun.php?cat=5 (http://www.carsofaustralia.com.au/downloads_and_fun.php?cat=5)
What a nicely done subtle beast of a ute !!!
