The problem is mostly confined to the city, where reception can drop out around tall buildings. Sedans can do the same to a lesser degree but the ute is more prone to it.

tab Sucker Moderating Team 32,303 Member For: 20y 4m 27d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 10/08/08 01:03 AM Share Posted 10/08/08 01:03 AM Sorry - didn't mean what you are saying is crap, just their reasoning. Have never had an issue whatsoever and have covered a few miles. Work in the city, it never drops out even as far as three levels underground to my carpark (where there is actually no mobile service).However - if it is a real issue a retractable side mounted antenna would have been a much better option. But then that would require a bit of thought I guess and it's easier to just drill a hole in the roof and whack the gay looking thing there!

spooner Member 84 Member For: 16y 2m 9d Posted 10/08/08 02:05 AM Share Posted 10/08/08 02:05 AM Got a track day at Sandown lined up for a couple of weeks after my ute arrives , just so I can run it in properly.Hope the brake pads and fluid are up to it , being a auto will feel a bit strange Should be interesting through , bog stock new, lets see what she'll do eh Im not into drag / street racing that's not my thing , and boring and pointless for me. Unless you can find somewere to give them their head bigger than 400m and to get some corner / braking action , instead of acting like a Dhead bogun in a 60k zone when its been raining , Is Heaven on a Stick Got mates in a 08 VE Bogan special ute and 06 Maloo ute coming along so we can have some fun and compare and swap drives to see what happens.Should be a Fun Day Out for All Will make sure I get some Video action to post later on . As long as it feels reasonably stable at speed , I'll be happy, and can Tweak it up a bit for finer control from there . HP means nothing unless you can keep it on the road.I remember the 1st time I got blown away by a VL Turbo , so its Payback time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
