Welcome. I was in Adelaide a 2 years ago and whenever I saw a ute go by (usually with aftermarket exhaust) I would smile at the backhome sound of the ls engine.

That's a sharp UTE you have there, and it's got some muscle to back up the looks. I have a Holden too, a Pontiac G8, and it's the best car I've ever had.
