Well done for getting out there and having a punt. You are a lucky man and own a piece of Australian motoring history. Truly the greatest aussie car ever produced!
So my wife just asked if I could watch this video, at the end she says to me why can’t you be this cool teaching me to drive a manual, I had to remind her that she almost crashed my vf SS into a fence hence the fact she now drives a Toyota rav 4.
Yes, you are correct Justin. The owner was enjoying himself but at the same time very aware of what could go wrong if things went a bit pear shaped....
@@BrettCLICKDavey working as a holden technician I've had the privilege to drive one of these W1's and they are ridiculously quick . Almost scary quick but a shit tonne of fun !!
Pretty hard to push the limits when it's your car and cash on the line in case of an accident, but it did seem like a bit of a Sunday drive... Owning a fast performance car is obviously different from being able to drive a performance car fast. But one hell of an opportunity.
Good to see you get it out on track, but man you really need to learn how to drive that thing, particularly downshifts! No wonder you edited out all the braking zones 😂
cant believe you could not turn into the corner, changed gear as well before the turn @ the 4:57 mark yet could not turn into the corner, why the tyres could handle it, plus they are hot as well, just not concentrating that's why ? Still to think how fast and strong the W1 is, make sure you change the oil after each run ,with Mobil one or prenrite oils. :)
Would of been good had there been no music. I guess, it would of been embarrassing if we heard the sound of 2 blokes farting as confusion with the Commodore's exhaust noises.

Yep ford Australia went out with a whimper Holden produced this beast to to say thanks to its loyal customers.
@@captainkaos1770 W1 bloody awesome car! But a whimper? Yeah nah.. Maybe no fancy interior But .. XR6 sprint ..absolutely nuts! All Aussie!
Absolute champion for getting it out there in its natural habitat. Good one mate.
Well done David, for getting out there and giving it a go. These cars were meant to do exactly that and not sit jacked up in a garage.
Nice, wish I could bring one of these to the UK. Have to settle for my VE Clubby. Enjoy!

lol A power slide that went wrong?
Sweet teacher learnt a bit
Goodonya Dave for using it. Great clip Brett😄👍💪
I was scared just watching.
Extremely lucky to have not binned it.
No throttle blip on the down shift into the chase causing compression lock up, a must have skill if you want to drive on the track.
Ngl my heart skipped 2 beats when he went off the track
That Thing picked up Speed mighty fast down the Conrod Straight and he wasnt even redlining it . got upto what looks like 240kph very quickly indeed.
