I dont think The Blimp has a massive hand in their Sales...the Fact that its a new car and they have good TV marketing is more likely the case.

I was in the hot tub out the back yard and it came flying over. I sat up and turned around and within three seconds the pilot pointed the nose down real quick and sharp to fly at no higher than 150ft.

Real hilarious as it snaked it's way on a deliberate path around a group of trees at the back of the property to have a better look. You could see the two guys inside real easy. They must have thought I had a chick in their with me.

PERVERTS !

When can we see that orange gun in action. Use a TOLL/HSV/***** Kelly as a target.

Blow a frozen orange through the door panel

Rick Kelly's driving allong, he's just barged someone off the track and taken the lead...all the nation is watching the race from the In car Camera in Ricks car and BANG...you see a blur of Orange fly across the screen and static. The camera switches to outside as you see Ricks car go careening off the track...Meanwhile, theres me by the side of the track patting my orange gun hehe... Oh how i wish i could turn back time! :

well its back in Warrnambool again.
it does look pretty cool in the dark but the damn thing keeps flying over my house.
if you see a news flash later on about the Holden Airship crashing, you know why.

I agree, saw it when it was first here, but last night it actually looked cool. The noise when it goes over your head is bloody annoying though.

Wanted:

* Donations for 1000 litres of Ford Blue paint, 100 litres of White paint.
* 500 people tired of Holden's airship for a quick paint job, must bring own rollers etc.
* Couple of really tall ladders
* One geek to reprogram the electronic billboard

See where I am going with this, not really vandalism but newsworthy.

Next time it passes overhead at a low altitude, just grab a football or tennis ball and try to hit it. That way, if you succeed, then you have an excuse. You were just playing a game with your friends, and your ball "accidently" hit the airship.
