Pimping stereo of course (windows up, volume down , when at lights before the assumptions let fly!) Fuel usage is up the crapper as you'd expect. (nice when youre not paying...) goog im sure you worked it out, but theyre behind the passenger seat in a lil compartment. a little bizaare, but doesnt seem to make a diff.

The best I could get was "I'm pretty sure it lights up red". Glad to hear about your order none the less, you should email us some pics here at CA when you get it. Glenn - well done on the purchase. Shoot some pics through if you're able, we'd love to see them. Hope the drinking was done after the driving mate!

Picked it up on Friday afternoon and drove around for a few hours that night and sat in front of it fri night and got pissed...lol It is a nice ute to drive and recommend anyone to get one. Had pictures taken of my ute Sunday night down at St kilda, and a few questions asked of my ute. It is a pleasure to drive and the grunt behind it rocks.

(i dont mean the dash) ... most dealers ive spoken to wouldnt know what day it is, let alone the answer to my question (doesnt seem a complex one does it) In the holden brochure, the photos of the SSV interior appear at night, appear black lit "red" ... the SS interior photo is a day time photo and appears silver ... one dealer said to me they appear silver in the day, and backlit red at night ... but I dont think he actually had a clue. Also noted the SSV seems to have the "SS" and "V8" insignias on each dial , aswell as the speedo going to 280km/h... SS does or doesnt? Certainly cant wait to get mine! Ive reverted to the mindset of a 6year old child whos waiting for santa claus. The old VY is being treated like an ex girlfriend at present! CHeers, Brad. (not the other brad posting on here...) hi guys,

Ive got an VE SS Ute on order (19inch 10 spokes, leather, chrome bar) (end of dec), 6 speed manual (how could you not!) … anway, ive driven a couple of SSV’s, auto … but have not actually sighted an SS standard ute … in looking through various photso and brochures, can someone tell me if the actual tacho and speedo dials are different between the SSV and SS ute? (i dont mean the dash) … most dealers ive spoken to wouldnt know what day it is, let alone the answer to my question (doesnt seem a complex one does it)

In the holden brochure, the photos of the SSV interior appear at night, appear black lit “red” … the SS interior photo is a day time photo and appears silver … one dealer said to me they appear silver in the day, and backlit red at night … but I dont think he actually had a clue.

Also noted the SSV seems to have the “SS” and “V8″ insignias on each dial , aswell as the speedo going to 280km/h… SS does or doesnt?

Certainly cant wait to get mine! Ive reverted to the mindset of a 6year old child whos waiting for santa claus. The old VY is being treated like an ex girlfriend at present!

CHeers,

Brad. (not the other brad posting on here…)
