looks like it could be the new commodore from the states if you look at that back picture and imagine the lights, looks very much like the ones we see today

cheers

thats what im thinking - gto like grill, vy style tail lights, n it resembles the ve proto they showed..

plus the "mules" they test are left hand drive, as per previous model eg. vy

novak

I'm in Broken Hill. Ive seen the car for a couple of days now, but this time I happened to have a camera handy.

Next time crack the shell open dude.

Just make sure no-one is looking and go to town on the thing.

Get pics under the car too... might help seeing whats running underneaths :)

btw it isnt illegal to take pictures in a public place... in america it is. here its only in private that u arent allowed without permission

id say commo aswell.... y dont u rip off some panels n take a squizz?

give ya a clue ghuys, we dont make mirrors in australia, for hyundi, kia or any eurpoean cars, so doesnt leave much to pick from...............

i cant say much more other wise i could get into trouble i recon!

I don't think it's a VE Commodore

Looking at the front grill and the roofline I would almost say that it may even be the next generation Falcon, but I doubt it

I'm pretty stumped to be honest

Could be quite legitimate to bring a European car down here for testing. Europe doesnt experience the temperatures somewhere like Broken Hill would get.

What letter is under the EU circle of stars? That will tell you the country of origin in theory. :D

Looks very Volvo like as their lines have been getting softer over the years.

Saw a prototype Rolls when I lived in the UK in Stratford Upon Avon. Phantom I think it was. This was back in 2000 though.

I'll put my 2c on it being the new magna, rear tail lights, general crappy shape, door handles... and the mirrors :D

Unless ford or holden are going back to the early 90's shape, I dont think it is either of them.

the mirrors and antenna look pretty european..... but if your a european car manufacturer, why would you bring prototypes, or unreleased models to australia........?? Photoshooting??  Also has those european style plates.........

Australia has the harshest conditions! Alot of vehicle testing goes on in the middle of nowhere in NT and SA.

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
