Mitsubishi Pajero GLS Review – 2010
Mitsubishi Pajero has recently won a number of awards including 4×4 of the year in both Overlander and 4×4 Australia magazines.

Holden VZ Commodore SV6 Review
On a recent trip to Queensland I was fortunate enough to be provided with a Holden VZ Commodore SV6 – a little better than the standard Commodore or Falcon I normally get so I thought why not do a CarHQ review on it. A lot has been said about the Holden VZ Commodore and its […]
