The Holden Gemini was a GM world car, meaning it was sold all over the world under all kinds of names, even in Japan sold as an Isuzu. The original car is the Opel Kadett, which was sold in the UK as Vauxhall Chevette
It's amazing how this car also looks like the Brazilian car 1973 Chevette Tubarão in its hatch version( That it is even kind of rare to find one around here, at least I have never seen one personally, only heard about it) it's amazing how some cars in some places are exactly the same car but with another name or with some small changes.
Lex I’m Australian myself and when they do all the burnouts it’s called Summernats and the next one is next year Summernats 36 and when you see the burnout and the back wheels it’s called rubbing and the yellow car at the end it’s called an EL falcon your welcome in Australia when ever Hahaha love this video and the Aussie cars
you have definitely made your australian viewers happy. and the big burnout event is called Summernats and it’s the best event in australia and it’s at the start of the year in Canberra
As an australian resident born and raised i am so fucking glad you are doing an australian car build, i have waited for SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO long and hope theres more to come thank you so much Lex
Hey mate, this is very cool, as an Australian, a burnout car normally has huge front wheels, with aftermarket rims, but, in the rear, stock rims, normal tire size, sometimes smaller, and the rear wheels tucked in really far, but the front ones out a bit, otherwise very accurate, good job mate, keep up the content g! I also notice you said that you wanted to see some burnouts, we have summernats and rockynats, I just did rockynats, Its normally around easter, maybe you could come and do rockynats, I'd love to meet you as well, just a thought.
Hey Lex, I've been "an Australian Viewer' for actually a few years now and been able to install GTA mods thanks to your tutorials. Absolutely love the videos. Oh yeah, and those big Burnout videos mainly take place at an event called 'Summernats'. The most famous Aussie cars are the Holden A9X Torana, Holden Commodore/HSV GTS and Maloo as the Ford Falcon. The XB GT model is also known as The Mad Max Interceptor.
The summernats burnout comp is the only reason my friends go lol...there was a Rockynats in Rockhampton this past Easter weekend as well..it was enjoyable.
interior and engine compartment were Opel Kadett c, the isuzu/holden probably doesn't look like that, but the outside was correct, there was an Opel grill there too,
A lot of Holden's and fords from the 90s came put factory with a red colour trim, Nothing beats a dark green VS ss on chrome chasers with the red trim 😍
My neighbour owns like 4 XR6s. 2 of them are shells and 2 of them are working cars. Both of which have Ford Barra Engines. And the falcon was Australia and South Africa for most of the time. But not they're only Australian
I think the performance trim level spec in the black and red was my choice for the Ford, even though I would rather see a variety of bright colours on the roads. As for the Holden, I think I'd want to spec something that combines the purple on the first with the red and chrome dome wheels with a higher ride height from the second. Classic performance with the modern (paint technology) respray in something metallic. I can respect the 2 styles shown, just neither do much for me to be able to outright say which of these I prefer, they're more 'equally different' to me.
FUCK YEA LETS FING GOOOOOOOOOO my dad owned a white torana xu1 when he was young, and im glad to see you explore the history of aussie car culture I wish there were more lore friendly cars based on holdens
This video idea is awesome!! (Im an aussie) now you need to do all the aussie ford and holden vehicles produced from the 60's all the way up to the 2010's 👌🏾👌🏾🙏🏽🙏🏽
The E series XRs are my favourite a lot of them here are blue and red stripe or black with red, camber on the rear doesn't make sense as they are solid axle rear
Abit of a rabbit hole but I found out last year the Vauxhall Chevette & Opel Kadett was rebadged for so many companies. Holden Gemini/Isuzu Gemini is based on the Opel Kadett body.
@@Figureight that first falcon is extremely Australian the modern bumpers, big showy rims and that colour is too familiar id love to see some commodores and maloos. chromedome
G'day cobber 👍 Ok as I'm From Victoria, the larger burnout comps around Melbourne are easter & summer nats but they are held nation wide and far as I know r basically just called go to woh skid comps and they have different classes or 6 & 8 n/a cars and then obviously ur blown stuff Yes correct on the barra engine 👍 The ef was the predicessor to the ed falcon and was realized around 95 with the very similar looking el in 97 along with the xh ute (the last of the x series falcon utes, which all shared the same rear styling from about 79 with the xd to 99 with the xh before the au came out with the middle models been xe xf & xg Would've loved to have seen a wagon version and xh ute as an add on to that el model...

Great job lex really enjoyed the vid if there's ever a pack like this of Aussie cars I'd love to see it 👍
If ya want car shows this year you can go to summer nats in australia burnouts drag races or next year you can go to rocky nats which is burnouts drag racing drifting the lot so there is some ideas mate
As an Australian that accent was very accurate
Maybe I am Australian and that's my real accent and I've just been affecting a pommy accent all these years :P
As an Australian your Australian accentsound more like a New Zealand accent.
As an Australian, your accent sounds like a mix of Kiwi and Australian
As an Australian kiwi, that accent was super accurate and sounded nothing like an Australian kiwi and more Australian thats not a kiwi
Sounds More like a Kiwi tbh
As an Australian and massive fan of old Australian muscle this made me very happy
Also the burnout comp is called summernats
The Holden Gemini was a GM world car, meaning it was sold all over the world under all kinds of names, even in Japan sold as an Isuzu. The original car is the Opel Kadett, which was sold in the UK as Vauxhall Chevette
we also got that car here in Brazil as the Chevy Chevette, being both the Kadett C and D
that first falcon build was surprisingly nice. so familiar, yet so foreign at the same time.
Chrome dome
Looked like a factory ef on enkies
As an Australian the title is perfect
As a title the perfect is Australian
Finally a title I can read
What does it actually say my dyslexia alongside the fact its upside down and I’m on pc so i cant flip my monitor.
The Holden Gemini TX looks almost 100% like the Opel Kadett C (1973-1979)
bc it is
Because it pretty much is lol
It was also sold as the Isuzu Gemini in the Asian market
Oddly enough was sold as the Buick Opel in the US
It's amazing how this car also looks like the Brazilian car 1973 Chevette Tubarão in its hatch version( That it is even kind of rare to find one around here, at least I have never seen one personally, only heard about it) it's amazing how some cars in some places are exactly the same car but with another name or with some small changes.
o chevette é o carro mais internacional que existe cara, ele tem mais de 30 nomes diferentes pelo mundo e foi vendido em tudo quanto é lugar...
The glory of GM rebadging
@figureeight thankyou for showcasing my cars i am so proud to see them in your videos

Auto correct did u dirty. It's called tubbing saves the paint from tire slap and or let's you have bigger wheels
@@deonblandon-lardner641 yes it did
you have definitely made your australian viewers happy. and the big burnout event is called Summernats and it’s the best event in australia and it’s at the start of the year in Canberra
Having been in the 2.9% for a long time we appreciate this Lex!!
As an australian resident born and raised i am so fucking glad you are doing an australian car build, i have waited for SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO long and hope theres more to come thank you so much Lex
finally a normal video title from lex

The wheels you choose for the Ford Falcon FE XR6 look somewhat like the wheels you can find on a BMW (E38) 750iL from 2000
Proud to be one of those 2.9% keep up the great content.
Ooooh an Australian Opel Kadett C
honestly not a bad aussie accent xD

That thumbnail had me confused 😂 would be sick to see a video on a ba bf falcon
Loving the vids by the way also love from Queensland

Also lex the cars were not Australia only. Theyre Australia and New Zealand only :)
Oi hi haha
This is the best thumbnail I have seen in years on youtube
Hey Figue 8 glad to see you making videos
Again
Chrome dome :) btw, both Falcons look amazing, wheel choice for the black one was definitely a hit
The big burnout event in Australia is known as summernats.
3:30 it actualy is the same as the vauxhaull Viva/ Opel Kadett
I have one but as a chevy model, I love the lil bastard
FUCK YEA LETS FING GOOOOOOOOOO
my dad owned a white torana xu1 when he was young, and im glad to see you explore the history of aussie car culture
I wish there were more lore friendly cars based on holdens
This video idea is awesome!! (Im an aussie) now you need to do all the aussie ford and holden vehicles produced from the 60's all the way up to the 2010's 👌🏾👌🏾🙏🏽🙏🏽
Done well mate loved the video, you definitely gotta watch some Summernats videos at least 🤙
From Australia love the Oz cars thanks for that
Please customise more Aussie cars please I’m from Australia and love watching Aussie mods
The E series XRs are my favourite a lot of them here are blue and red stripe or black with red, camber on the rear doesn't make sense as they are solid axle rear
Broke my neck while reading the title XD
It would of been so funny if you started with the screen flipped lol, keep up the work
Man that Holden looks an awful lot like an Opel Kadett
The red trim on the EF falcon is on the real xr6/xr8
The black and red is also iconic on the EL/EF
Damn you got a good taste in car modifications
As an Aussie bloke I can confirm that was Indeed a Barra.
As an Australian i am already a subscriber
I was quite surprised by your aussie accent. Its better then some Aussies.
its like every weekend depending where in Australia you go
Abit of a rabbit hole but I found out last year the Vauxhall Chevette & Opel Kadett was rebadged for so many companies.
Holden Gemini/Isuzu Gemini is based on the Opel Kadett body.
chrome dome, also i love the black sporty four door.
The engine in the EF falcon is not the Barra. The Barra first made its appearance in the BF/BA ford falcons.
I didn't understand the thumbnail at first but now I do
Im pretty sure they use the word "skids" to replace "burnouts" because they do them so much better then anyone else.
As an Australian, i approve of this video
ef el falcon I remember getting a taxi wagon version home in the 90s
Mate the Ford xr6 in black with red pint stripes is the tune I like....Australian accent not to bad Mr chrome dome
the back of the gemini looks strangely like a 180sx
The ford falcon come out in Australia and New Zealand as a New Zealander I see falcons on a daily basis
When I looked at the thumbnail and title I thought my phone was upside down for a sec lol
You confused me with that title, but i like this
What in the Vegemite is going on here ! That accent wasn’t to bad at all !!
I love the cover and title 😂
That accent was on key mate. Reminds me of my uncle
Could you possibly find a mod for the Holden Walkinshaw one of my favourite rare Holdens Produced
you're from UK, right? this is the aussie version of the Vauxhall Chevette, is the same car but with another front end and in a coupe body
As an Australian I approve of this message
whats the wheels pack that you used for the black falcon? interested to install it on my game
Funny enough. I've seen a Ford Falcon painted black with red trim, like that before.
The Gemini is the same as an Opel Kadett C and pretty much the same as a Vauxhall Chevette apart from the nose. So not far off with the Viva guess.
Xr6 falcon and some commodores next!!
Keep watching my dude. There's 2 cars in this video ;)
@@Figureight They mean newer ones 2005 and up
@@Figureight that first falcon is extremely Australian the modern bumpers, big showy rims and that colour is too familiar id love to see some commodores and maloos. chromedome
Black Barra Falcon ftw.
..
It [the Holden] looks like a vauxhall because GM shared parts across the countries
Ngl for a bit i was wondering if i somehow missed that lex was Australian.
Kudos for the thumbnails 🙂
What a Gemini … Holden Gemini
Would love more Object Spooner custom cars 🙏🙏
It misses spider nest inside to be fully authentic
In germany we have a car its called "Opel Kadett" and it looks Almost 100% like the holden
You should make a part 2 with a Ford Falcon BA XR6 turbo 😁
i think if you got some wheel mods it would be good so you dont have to only use the base game ones that dont work that good with modded cars :)
Where's the mighty au and the vl turbo haha. Nah is a good vid keep it up
G'day cobber 👍
Ok as I'm From Victoria, the larger burnout comps around Melbourne are easter & summer nats but they are held nation wide and far as I know r basically just called go to woh skid comps and they have different classes or 6 & 8 n/a cars and then obviously ur blown stuff
Yes correct on the barra engine 👍
The ef was the predicessor to the ed falcon and was realized around 95 with the very similar looking el in 97 along with the xh ute (the last of the x series falcon utes, which all shared the same rear styling from about 79 with the xd to 99 with the xh before the au came out with the middle models been xe xf & xg
Would've loved to have seen a wagon version and xh ute as an add on to that el model...
As 4 the Gemini they are probably more realated to an Opel ( not sure what one) & the vaxhull Viva like u said
As Holden copied & sold many cars ( like my daily xc combo van) which in the uk you'd know as a vaxhull & Germany as an opel, with many other cars, and probably more interestingly Toyota, rebadging the 89-approx 93 camery the Holden Apollo & Corolla the Holden Nova then later Toyota doing the same thing with the vr & vs commodore calling them the Toyota lexin with a slight restyle...
Great job lex really enjoyed the vid if there's ever a pack like this of Aussie cars I'd love to see it 👍
Barra swap the world 🔥🔥🔥❤️
If ya want car shows this year you can go to summer nats in australia burnouts drag races or next year you can go to rocky nats which is burnouts drag racing drifting the lot so there is some ideas mate
Chrome dome
can do you do with more dominator version (not gtx with camaro grils and charger light ) like more looking a mustang 2016 plz
Opel Kadett C?
@figureeight I'm dissapointed that you as brit didn't look at the gemini and thought. This looks exactly like a vauxhall astra.

You should go to summernats in January
it looks like a sierra with wierd back lights. thats why it look familiar
Australian checking in
As an Australian, you’re an Australian.
Surely modify some Holden Commodores like the VY SS in the next video
There's a game on your phone called burnout masters does your Aussie cars
Bit Kiwi there at the start Mate
10:41 "$2K Barra" - fullBOOST
Yes, Lex, that is an LS 😂
Burnout Masters. Its actually a competition. Dunno how its scored lol
Is it a Lemon in Cars 2?
The video should have been upside down, at least for the intro.
Other than that, nice one as always.
Bro modofied the TOGG pls!
Hay is the el ford got the ss commodore colour theme
Here from Australia to say hello lol
