Coupe 4 in Luton
Discussion
The HSV Coupe 4 arrived last night from its trip round europe and the Nurburgring. I'll post some pics up in the next few days...
Anyone happening to pass by Luton and wants a look let me know in advance. It'll be going to a few UK mags for roadtests this month so it'll be out and about a bit.

I am on my way.....
I'd love to come along too. 1pm is fine for me. I'm not far from the M11 junct 8. A meet beforehand, somewhere en route ?Guess you'll be coming up the M1, I'll be arriving from the east via Hitchin/Stevenage so it will be best to meet you in Luton somewhere.
How about at Luton Hoo park, or the entrance road to it? As you leave the M1 at the j10 roundabout, continue along the motorway slip road to j10a, straight across to the A1081, left at the first roundabout, left at the second, then 1st left again after a few hundred meters. I believe there are several Vauxhall buildings in this area, so we will be in the right place.

G'Day Monaro maniacs,
Would love to see the car, but some of us have to work, still for tose of us who cant make it, there's a very good article on the HSV Coupe 4, in this months,
AUSTRALIAN MUSCLE CAR Magazine, Issue 15. called Traction Control.
See in the Article that the Vehicle is the first HSV to be built by Holden at the Elizabeth Plant, meaning that HSV now have a production line within Holden.
Also HSV use the GTO body for this car, because the GTO hads the fuel tank located behind the rear seat which leaves space for the dual exhaust.
The artcle is well worth a read, not to mention the great story on the L34 Torana's, Beauty !
If you want this great mag vist www.chevron.com.au
Or a bit cheeper I think, www.emags.co.nz/webapps/cid/4489/6200/shopping/shopping-view-plus.html?pid=21674 Where I get mine.
Holden Drive On !

EVO mag are a bit behind the times aren't they? they should have looked here first. I said back in May last year that it was featured in the summer issue of HSVs Excelerate mag, for release in June ' down under'. The car was debuted as long ago as Nov '03 at the Sydney Motor Show. Paul/ukhsv put some pics of it on the forum,Sun May 2 page 12 last year if anybody wants to see it. Superb motor.
