I Just got a new job today!!!!
Hopefully this means i can get back into something lovely like one of the cars on this thread. So many nice ones!!!!!

 

[angie90]

Congrats on the new job! What car would you love to have now?

 

[Grogshla]

practically i would like something comfty and safe as work is 85kms. But if I could have a fun car I would like to try an something from holden vk-vs shape. Drop a new v8 engine in it and keep it nice and clean.

 

[angie90]

Excellent choice!

I used to own a '77 Mustang celica with a 3tgte (1.8 inj. twin cam turbo) in it. I rebuilt the car but never got the chance to finish it due to getting marriage and buying a house. It was like selling my child when it came to it. Was a great little car, went hard and handled well. Had a Halteck ECU, 500cc inj, 3 in exhaust, CAI etc., and ran around 15psi boost. Was a quick little car back then, around 18yrs ago when I did the conversion. Was good for 0-100km/h in just over 5secs and the 1/4 was high 12's. That was pretty quick then, would make most V8 owners get embarassed by being beaten by a 4cyl. . I managed to find a pic from another forum for her. Was my all time favourite car and highly missed. :cry: The simmons were 15x7 and 15x9 and cost me $3200 back then, that would get some mad rims now...lol.

Cheers

Lol..... and you base this on what? Because holden exported some models and were badged overseas as a vauxhaul? And some of the **** they import were an opel?
Hardly makes holden and vauxhaul the same.

Lmao, couldn't have said it better.

Holden still suck:/

 

[skubz]

actually in the beginning the commodore was based on a vauxall design, but the last decade has been the other way around. But thats one of the good things about a bigger company like GM, shared technology!

Vauxall has claimed some of the best cars to come out of the HOLDEN factory.

A 500kw badged 6.0L supercharged Monaro, and the VE VXR8 Bathurst, 6.2L supercharged.

[Matt-to-the-K]

S202 WrxAlso a rather limited car. Last I heard there were 4 in Australia. The other 96 are in America Always loved 05 STIs and evo 9s

 

[abnrmal91]

Love cars and modifying them, just don't have time anymore. Sold my commodore (wise move, they don't turn corners very well) Bought a Subaru instead. Nothing to fancy but it's comfortable, plus I own it which is always a plus. Debt free is good

 

[angie90]

Debt free is good! I likey the sunroof, must be nice to feel the wind in your hairs I really want to get one installed! & that's crazy Matt. Wish I had a rare car! Is it actually worth more because of it? Or is it just cooler? Lol

 

[Grogshla]

toyota supra TT mkIV is my dream car to buy and just drive it every now and again. Just get it really clean and do a few minor mods. Will have to wait till I buy a house with a double garage.
