Yeah, but seriously, she is!

HDT VE-VL heritage edition revives the controversial black box, which uses crystals and magnets to align molecules of the car
» Get the best price on a new Holden
The controversial device at the centre of the split between racing legend Peter Brock and Holden is set to make a come-back.
For its latest limited edition model, due to be released in Sydney next week with Bev Brock as guest of honour, HDThas revived the Energy Polariser.
The device will be fitted to HDT's VE-VL heritage edition, designed to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the VL SS Group A.
Only 173 of the 500 VL Brock Commodores were equipped with the device – before Holden terminated the deal and completed the remaining cars.
The Energy Polariser was said to contain crystals and a magnet which was claimed to align the molecules of the car. However, it could not be independently validated by Holden engineers in Australia or Detroit.
HDT does not make a claim for the effectiveness of the Polariser but it is fitted to the car for historical purposes.
"It's on the car to stay true to the VL's heritage," says HDT general manager Darren Gillis. "Whether they work or not it's completely up to the customer to decide. It's on the car for historical purposes. More will be revealed next Wednesday."
The VE-VL will be unveiled at Eastern Creek next Wednesday, where full details and images of the car will be available.
If HDT's recent history is a guide, the car will likely be painted in the same 'Permanent Red' colour as the original and have styling cues to hint to the iconic car of the past.
The Polarsier is likely to be mounted in the engine bay on the passenger side, similar to the original location on the 1987 Commodore.
As with all modern HDT cars they can't be bought at a Holden dealership. Instead, customers take a VE Commodore SS to HDT for the work to be done.
HDT is owned by Brock fanatic and car collector Peter Champion, who turned his passion for Brock Commodores from a hobby into a business.
HDT has built more than 100 retro models inspired by the VK 'Blue Meanie' and VH and VC models.
Although HDT is a business, the reality is that it is a labour of love for Champion. Earlier this year he closed the Brock museum near Rockhampton (where 50 Brock and HDT cars were on display) because of a lack of tourists.
Champion has since come out of semi-retirement and returned to the mining contracting business.
He is now looking to relocate Australia's biggest collection of Brock's cars and memorabilia to Sydney, Melbourne and the Gold Coast.

An Energy Polarizer identical to the eighties originals - and built once again by Bev Brock - is part of the package on a new homage car from HDT Special Vehicles.

Gentlemen, I have a serious question.

It's mainly for NSWers though, as it has to do with a tenancy act.

When a landlord gives you a termination notice of 90 days, we, as tenants can still leave earlier then that hey. 21 days notice right? We are looking for a place now, and it looks like we mighta found one, but we would need to move out sooner then 3 months.

Edit** Don worry, found the answer.

Some amazing things popped out in the 80's.

Brettla, US correct lol. The RAN have no aircraft carrier anymore after we mcfugged it.
We do have a helicopter Carrier thing being built lol.

Info can be obtained from US navy websites if you like to research shit.

[ADZY7]

i wouldnt think the RAN would have enough personal to run an aircraft carrier.
