Yea, well you know how things are in the states for alot of people (GM is best J/K) but Caddi has always made the president's limo its like a tradition thats the same as the Queen and Roll and Tony Blair and his Jag.

I guess New Zealand uses Holdens? I know it's an Aus. car but NZ and Aus have good relations.

I'm pretty sure it's the V8 disco.

The US govt should have given the president a Hummer limo. More sporty and rugged..

BUSH has no taste in cars..but Saddam is. :biggrin:


They probably have a Hummer limo. I have never seen it though. But I haven;t even seen the president, nor do I live anywhere near him. I am on the complete other side of the country...

^^LOl.It's a police bike.

By the way: In the US, what car are officially used by your govt? GMC?


there are a lot of different ones.

Fords, GMC, Chevy, Even Hummer. It depends what part of the US.


The president has a custom built Cadillaic limo?


yup, its Called the Cadillac One. HAHAHAHAAHA A caddilac!



God it's ugly,but then imagine what would happen if the American president rode in a German car, :ahhh:


yea, its the truth. They pretty much have to have an American Car Limo, ya know?

exactly true. Fortunately, I am not one of the people who think GM is best, despite living in the states. But NZ Benz, you are absolutely right about the bit of tradition. Its something that a lot of countries always continue.

That holden is quite a nice car. Although, Since GM owns Holden, I guess GM IS best, huh?

Yea a Holden is really quite good value for money when you think about it. Do you guys not get leather in them there?

No. Holden spare parts here are hard to find.

So many Govt Holden Ambulance are in the Holden workshop waiting for spares. That's why we lack ambulance thses days.

Haha. But they compain the 4 banger Mit.van can't make it on time. Only one V8 GMC ambulance for the whole country which is not good.

Most of the Holdens are V8s..
