  30. GO THE HOLDEN UTE AWSOME UPGRADE BOUT TIME WE HAD A DESENT ADD

  31. was this filmed in wanaka. near the hire shop and miter 10? sick!

  32. I saw it in an ad on tele the other day. Looks fantastic, but did you guys do this all by yourself, or is this just something V had put together by an ad agency? In other words, is it real or fake?

  33. thats mean.

  34. NICE!! Would love to drive in traffic with that BEAST of a machine!! 😀

  35. dis is so totally freakin awesum
    u shuld run a comp to gt a ride in it

    woohoo

  36. amazing. saw truck on TV. Love V forever…

  37. Great AD guys (well done Ian)

  38. Dam! What a great Ad, I thought the thing was done entirely in 3D but to actually make that…. That’s something else! Keep on making killer ads!

  39. THAT HOLDEN RC IS PHATTTTTT!!!!! STRAIT UP…
    I LUV IT, I WANT ONE

    🙂

    WOOHOO!!! GO V

  40. Nice job making it from a holden…. but killing the beema? NOT COOL! you should have shat on a ford… would be way way way way way cooler! i see it now.. a holden parked on top of a ford.. the way it should be. just no more beemas kay!

  41. I really wanted to leave a negative comment just to be a hater but i cant! that is a cool ad! as for the beema and jappa WHO CARES!!! anyone with brains knows it was set up. The wheelie was the best part.

  42. Absolute perfect madness on wheels! lovin the V! just dont get caught cruisin the streets without yr seat belts on, make it click, lol. And if your rockin through Island Bay come pick me up, man I wanna collect my lotto winnings in the BIGV. Too much yall

  43. This is all fake right? The internet doesn’t like anything and these comments are all far too positive and literate to be from actual living, web dwelling humans. Kudos though, it made me look!

  44. A Red Bull! Wot! lol! That was def RC dude, didn’t you see that thing with the aerial? That means RC! Stop being a downer man, if it’s on TV it’s obviously real! V is totally sweet man, I mean tons and tons of sugar!

  45. Dream a little. Probably one of the most fun ads on tv for a while. If you hate it do something better!

  46. Wicked holden ute, it sounds insane, i want one NOW!!!!!!!!!!!
    Lets see the cops pull you over in this.

  47. Nice. Wonder if you could get a WOF in that!

    Any plans to bring it Christchurch way?

  48. Hey guys
    Awesome job with the Vicious monster ute. It’s Violent!!!! I think that NZ is a breeding ground for people to come up with some BIG thinking like that.

    Merry Christmas guys, haVe a Very cool break and make off with the monster ute wheneVer you can.

  49. best holden ute eva built. can we race it in V8 utes

    woops.. !

  55. wow, payed for many of those comments?

  56. OMFG THATS AWSOME

    AT THE END THO WHEN HE DID THE BIG JUMP IT LOOOKED FAKE AS THE DUDE WASNT EVEN WEARING A SEAT BELT OR ANNYTHIN

    BUT OMFG

  57. This is Mint giez!Good work! *highfive*

  58. Wicked ad man. gotta love V. but is it really remote controlled?

  59. heey i’d just like say this truck is phat as i seen it at a B.P and took pictures and man it is so awesome

  60. While I think the truck is really cool and I’m a big fan of Top Gear so I can appreciate the sense of fun that went into this, I think it is irresponsible showing this as an ad on TV with cars being run over (regardless of whether they are plants or not). It sends the message that it is OK to damage anyone’s property and laugh it off. There’s enough problem on the roads with hoons without this.

  61. Incidentally, I have no problem with the truck appearing at something like Smashfest – right time and place, not a public car park see?

  62. pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
