To be fair, it has as many teeth as the normal collingwood supporter, so it's pretty accurate!

Whilst the execution is not great (in that it uses a Holden), you have to give credit to Holden for coming up with such a plan.

Sure it's not everyone's cup of tea (ie mine), but I'm sure it will sell well.

Win:win from the footy team's and Holden's perspective, I reckon.

Just such a pity it is a Holden.

They can have a few hundred sales more, who cares, its not worth doing that. Granted they are being proactive but id rather see better finance deals or something else than stooping to that level; regardless of the club.

Yep, and they'd have to pool their money to buy a key for it, or just steal one.....

Anyone who lives here in Wagga must have seen the White AU sedan that is literally covered in red 'add on's'. Stickers, stripes, wing mirrors and old style red roof rack.

He's a St George supporter.
