I rented Valtteri Bottas' Holden Ute - and it was amazing

When we saw Valtteri Bottas' hotted up 2012 Holden Commodore ute - we knew we had to have a drive! So we took it back to the home of the Holden Ute - the former Holden proving ground at Lang Lang in Victoria, Australia. So saddle up for a fun drive in VB's ute!

[@minh427]

just when i thought Paul couldnt get anymore bogan.

[@RecordedByTex]

Can't believe you did him dirty with "valterri, it's James"😂

[@Presto_001]

This is the most Aussie car reviewed by the best Aussie reviewer. Nice upload Paul and the crew 👍

[@Amelie-eh3jc]

Love your perspective, it's like a breath of fresh air in a sea of sameness.

[@Truthfulnerd]

Loved this video Paul. But it actually makes me want to see more classic vehicles being featured and reviewed.

[@aimanfitri0iv]

i love the modification they did and this has also become one of the most legendary aussie car modifications ever i mean shower in the back of the ute that's crazy 😏🤯😄

[@BobbyObado]

I'm so thankful that I found this channel last year and subscribed 🤣. Incredibly informative reviews on vehicles but unafraid to have some fun when the opportunity arises.

[@BenGoodbrand]

Couple of days late with this one Paul🤣

[@Aruchama]

Brilliant review! Love how Paul's dressed up for the occasion too! 🤣

[@AdamPayne]

This is the best.. well done guys.

[@spotifyplayer6906]

If you want you could do a big review/drive of all the generations of falcons or all the generations of commodores

[@troydaroczy568]

awesome video paul love it maybe you could something like this for the next year australia day

[@northislandguy]

I cracked up when the durometer came out, you read all our minds with how hard the dash was 😂

[@johnwenban9799]

Ha! Your best review yet! 😁😁

[@sammybeevg]

hang on a minute, hell yeah

[@mighty_bunny]

Not quite out in time for April Fool's but definitely in the spirit!

[@-TJ-]

You should have published this two days ago. Missed opportunity.

[@matthewackerley]

hahaha what a vid! good job Paul. I wouldnt mind a proper review of a VF2, maybe as a 10yr anniversary on the channel to see how it stacks up if u can find one

[@alexanderbarth8320]

It's a beauut mate. I'm not rich either and I'm running a VE Ute myself and I couldn't be happier. Down to earth,compfy and it didn't miss a beat within 355000 ks. Easy to maintain too. Thanks for this funny vid mate.

[@mitchell5064]

actually pretty good vehicles when taken care of, alot comfyer than a modern leaf sprung single cab

[@Muckrunner88]

This is brilliant 😂 well played guys 😂

[@AndrewMic26]

Needed a burnout test 😂

[@dalesmith4985]

That is why most Bombadores are flogged out now from Bogans doing burnouts too much and treating them like they stole them, this one is in good nick though

[@-TJ-]

If only Valtteri could join you for the review.

[@angurgurung5339]

I like your hair style. 👍

[@stephengrainger248]

Good one!

[@rileybroadbent7750]

would love to see a genuine review of the ve commodore, especially the sv6.

[@adamhuglo111]

L67 pulles for ever

[@longdongjohn6588]

This look suits Paul. 😂😁

[@woooingtruckdriver]

Awesome mate. Can you review the ve ss please. The manual

[@adamhuglo111]

OF Course we are all biased 😁 For me, VE SS II wagon. Last of the Manual wagons!

[@user-vx4yf7nv1e]

Hahahaha 😂😂 Funny as Paul , love the Mullet 👍

[@Rhythmattica]

4:27 Wheres Beryl?

[@hivepixels]

I'm looking forward to seeing what the other Carshare platforms like Turo and Drive mate will do with their cars 😅

[@Triple-N]

Here I thought I was watching Redriven Channel. 😂 What happened to the pie warmer on the test run?

[@jarahkaren8074]

I was thinking that thing in the middle looked like a sandwich toaster but knew it couldn't possibly be...the answer was even more unlikely...but I want one.

[@utpal4425]

This is too funny 🤣🤣

[@unclesmate]

more holdens please

[@justinlingard1840]

Love the ve commodore especially the sport wagons mine maybe a omaga but still reckon its a great car corner's so bloody well at speed when I brought mine it had around 174000ks on it iv put around 10000ks sines owning it

[@user-tw9ej4wk4g]

Hey Paul! Could you please do an offroad comparison of top model 4x4 suvs? For example: Toyota Landcruiser 300 GR sport vs Nissan Patrol Warrior. Thanks! Lebron James Hairline

[@djblc2201]

Funny stuff mate. In the 80's I almost bought a VB Commodore as my first car. Kinda sad I didn't now it would've been a good story for Valtteri 'coz it was probs faster than his awful green Sauber thing he's forced to drive (or wait in the pits for ) this year. Bring on Audi

[@twc733]

Great review.... can car expert get me a deal on one...

[@dallascowboy23]

Can you do a review of every Commodore?

[@thefreshestprince89]

Serious question: Why would someone go for a yank tank over something like this

[@AKK5I]

Because we don't even make these anymore 😭

[@ajwhitton]

Timing chain snapping in 3…2…1

[@adamhuglo111]

Fuck'n oats I would! VT l67 here 👍

[@karl6203]

And they said we’d never see another Holden hit the proving ground 😂

[@RK-hy6ye]

Please do all future reviews with Mazza alone.

[@ThomasFG]

What a shame Paul, you didn't even get to launch it to do performance testing 🤣🤣 Bet there was plenty waiting to see how many ponies have left the building in 200k almost.

[@AboveSomething]

"i overtook more cars this morning than he did over the weekend" 💀💀💀

[@PaddyBoy644]

Did you lose a bet to Gordie? 😂 Cheers Pat

[@adamhuglo111]

With ^ Berliana spec

[@P_FamilyJAR]

[@user-qi8ns1fo5d]

[@929cosmodude]

3 litre V6!!

[@chrisyoung7157]

Does your international audience know what a 'Fang' refers to? You might need a glossary!

[@richardtimms6645]

Don't give up your day job Paul 😂

[@jasonfields2793]

Its not a ute test without a burnout

[@adamhuglo111]

Oops, said a swear word. Imagine being kicked out of a Commie for saying a swear word! 🤣

[@saab5055]

very worthy of a video even if it was just to get paul to wear the dead blonde rat wig .

[@denism5008]

Paul...WTF?

[@perpelle]

As a European I can't relate to this at all 😂 Have no idea whatsoever what's going on.

[@Owen_laycock]

Vs commodore 5L v8

[@Rollaroundtap]

Bring on the tank 500 review!

[@deleted.6743]

Boy does a quick promo and someone else profits forever.

[@richardtgarcia]

😂😂😂

[@lawsondog3554]

😂😂😂😂

[@brendongreene6358]

Why not do some Video. S with. Ford and holdens 0 to 1 interesting with the modds?

[@andrewbrown8463]

Actually it’s not like the Hyundai blue. He’s achieved what Hyundai couldn’t and made it a nice shade unlike the Hyundai puke colour
