Title: the history of the VE on telly Saturday
Post by: Flamed_FE on August 25, 2006, 09:11:08 PM
For six years camera crews had exclusive and unlimited access to the development of Holden's all-new VE Commodore.

For the first time on television, witness behind-the-scenes footage of Australia's best automotive engineers and designers striving to create not only the greatest Australian car ever, but a car to rival the best in the world. It's a unique story that gives a rare insight into Australia's most iconic company and the passion to create world-class cars.

There were two hundred hours of tapes that had to be cut down to fourty four minutes for the show on Saturday and it was my son Josh who had the  job to do the editing and do the graphics

Weddo ;D

Hey Weddo,
I missed it, would he still have it on his hard drive?

Weddo,

Tell him I reckon he did a top job.  It was very much a marketing promo, but highly watchable all the same.  I think "broad appeal" is the term.

I wouldn't like to put my early FE with its non-reinforced "C" pillars and dog-legs on that suspension-testing device :o

cheers
