    I am honestly dumbfounded that I have to reiterate points I already made.

    His original point being an implication that holden vehicles are all rebadges of vauxhalls

    Well this is interesting.....
    ...When you are aussie and come on and see a deep discussion going on about aussie cars and read through all of it so you can give your opinion being a proud aussie I thought it would be easy...... nope I don't understand any of the discussion so I will just put something related but not adding to the argument.

    That moment when you realise you should really put a lock on your computer after taking lots of medication. IDK where I was going with that.

    I love when people say the Vauxhall VXR8, Vauxhall Monaro, Pontiac GTO, Pontiac G8, Chevy SS, Chevy Caprice, Chevy Lumina, Chevy Omega, etc..
    Are all "based" on Holden and/or HSV .

    All that is different is that they are LHD with a new badge.

    Man I want one of the sleeper sedans. The Ford SHO and Chevy SS are two really nice cars, but so expensive many wow.

    I want that so bad. I honestly see myself eventually importing an Aussie car of some description.

    I've seen videos of people turning Fairmonts into sleepers, maybe that's a good place to start?

    What do they call it? Looks like Plum Crazy to me but a bit different.

    Went back and took the Volvo on a real test drive. Drives pretty good, shifts nice and everything. Hood is still stuck, but I'm hoping I can buy it on Friday or Saturday anyway.

    Why bother when you can just get a Chevy SS and it will be exactly the same except the gauges and steering wheel position will be correct for driving in America and it will be a lot cheaper and easier to get? You can even get it with Holden badges if you really care that much.

    The colour might be off but its close.

    Gimp is fun.


    I was looking at an article in the latest issue of the New Zealand Performance Car and they had a 1997 civic LXI in there that has 260kw (349hp) at the front wheels, Imagine that thing pass you on the motorway.

    This guy only wants $900 for this thing. I really wish I didn't have to save up to fix the Merc right now. Same miles as my Merc, 127k. It's quicker than my Merc to. 0-60 is rated at 6.9 seconds.
