nice one!

regarding oil, i remember reading Holden has to alter commodores that they ship over to arab oil rich countries.. to enable them to leave the engine running when the key is removed and car is locked. apparently quite alot of people leave the car running all day when they are at work simply for the air conditioner to remain on for when they come back to the car after work...

I USED to be in the import export car business in the 1990's you should 've seen the au falcons that got shipped to middle east all of them where v8 ghia's or te- ts- 50's or xr8's with everymod you can think of and then some . no standard wheels here chum . that was they're minimum requirement . ie more than our maximum.

i seen a story on 60 minutes couple of years ago, they are the worse drivers going around 2/3 rd's of these Arab's smash there cars, and they don't fix them when they break down..... they just leave them on the side of the road and go buy a new one.
we could never spend all the money these guy's have.
