I'm just wondering if a lot of people on this site think Holden are 97% usless when it comes to knowledge of older model opels.

There are a mix of Barina ppl and Astra ppl... not as much Vectra, Zafira and Calibra owners as there could be.. but then again, there wasn't too many Calibra 4x4 owners in Australia in the first place. I did see this Cali 4x4 once on my way to work.. he must have been in a bit of a rush... flooring it everywhere he went.

Does anyone here think Holden knows anything about anything other than the Crummydore?

I certainly don't. I think what Holden's position is with imports (from Opel and Izusu) is that they bring them in, say they know about it but in fact most of the tech info comes from the suppliers of these cars. Only a bit of mods are done for the Australian market. I mean look at the brake pads. They say they know about the carbon issue but why is it that we have to live with it? They can put the dust kits and UV protection kits on all Opel cars (which is an option in Europe) but they haven't been able to put pads that suit a warmer climate that doesn't need to withstand below freezing temps.

worst experience i had with holden was when they wanted $2300 to fix my 4x4 problem. $1500 for the part and $800 for installation, they even said they couldn't guarantee it would fix it.
i found the part at a wreckers in melb for $100, then got my mechanic to install it for another $100.

Relax dude. If she cant come, she cant come. All we're doing is simply having fun here. If i was in her position, i'd prolly do the same as her, but as i said, its all in the name of fun. What we should do is have a Eastern meeting up at Knox or something. Go for a coffee/drinks one night... what do you think?

I think everyone lives at least 10 mins from the nearest McDonalds/KFC/Subways/Hungry Jacks.... I was soooo surprised that every 10 mins I drove in Melb, there would be one.... except on the way from South Yarra where I was staying to Geelong.
