Title: 60 years of Holden Post by: Johns on December 06, 2008, 05:47:27 PM Just watched 20 minutes of Womens Weekly presents 60 years of Holden. Yet another garbage TV program that trivialises the subject.
I would have thought that since GMH paid for it they could have at least got their facts straight. The HT Monaro did not have a 327. They flicked from FE to EK and implied this was the first use of Lang Lang and completely missed the EH!! I couldn't be bothered watching any more >:( Cheers John Title: Re: 60 years of Holden Post by: cruiser056 on December 06, 2008, 06:35:25 PM You should have watched all of it as they went back to earlier models etc. I didn't think it was too bad! I was interested in the fact that the VE is totally a new design and the money Holden spent. I didn't think that HD's had the option of disc brakes? I thought this started with the HR?
Overall, I enjoyed watching it, even though we copped a huge thunderstorm toward the end and missed a little. Michael Title: Re: 60 years of Holden Post by: mcl1959 on December 06, 2008, 06:41:24 PM Was there a model in between FE and FB? :-\ It can't have been a very important model ;D ;D
I agree with john, poor wording in a number of places and nothing really interesting or new in content.

Seriously, if it aint on the ABC or SBS it will always just be about selling junk food and tampons in between some hastily cobbled together, poorly researched facts read by a superannuated glamour puss with zilch credibility to the faithful, like us :(. Title: Re: 60 years of Holden Post by: colt on December 07, 2008, 08:45:29 PM Well, I enjoyed every minute of it. Programs like these always have some annoying little mistakes. Yes, HD's were available with disc brakes. I saw as many EH's as the other models they showed.
It's always a buzz to see the old footage, especially the stunt drivers. Imagine the length of the program if they showed everything Holden ever did. Taken in context, I reckon it's a great program & well done to the people who put it together. Colin. Title: Re: 60 years of Holden Post by: weddo on December 07, 2008, 10:28:31 PM I enjoyed it to Collin, but I am biased as my son Josh was the editor. Its pretty hard putting together 40 minutes of program from hundred of hours of footage, to suit the client.

I enjoyed it even with all the mistakes. Cheers, Tony. |
