So I Got My Xmas Prezzie A Bit Early

[RNGTR]

Got a call from my local Holden Dealer today, my new SS came off a carrier this morning! Wasnt expecting it to arrive until well into January so its a early xmas prezzie!

Pick it up 5.30 tonight.

Will make a nice tow car!

I spose you can put it on the back of a trailer... and go fishing on it?

Though I dunno why you didn't just by a 33...

[R31Nismoid]

Is this to replace the BA or the EVO Rod?

Have to bring it NYE and take us for a scoot

Looks similar to a 4 door R33 doesn't it?

Im just joking! I couldn't help my self

Nice pickup mate, send it down to HPF and get a twin turbo setup on there and make some decent power

These things do sound tuff though!

I've never seen an astra with that sort of kit before, where did you source it?

[DRD-00F]

Yeah they do, I think i heard one in the carpark the other day... form the office!

If it was that, it sounded mean... but it could have been like a Ferrari or something knowing this place

But yeah, nice comfy, and roomy cruiser... Take it on a skid pad or two, see how she handles the waves

[R33GOD]

oh god. commonwhore

should of got an r8 at least. least they look half decent.

you like it so thats all that matters

good luck

Good towing car,

Is it 6 speed? We had one for a week at work and its actually not bad for a stocker, sound nice too.

[DogKnight]

If youre happy thats what matters. They do sound tough.

Dont forget, its a commodore ule! Go get oversized chromies, a subwooooofer, cut the stock springs to dump it, and hang your arm out the window while driving with your music blaring!

[Howie]

Nice pressie, it just needs a bow-tie and an RB motor to top it off.. just kidding don't mean to rip on ya

[RNGTR]

Cheers for all the good natured ribbing!

Yes yes... its Commodore its a V8 etc..... but its a pretty nice bit of kit. I struggled to find anything else BRAND NEW under 50k that was as good. The R8 is awesome but well out of my price range..... I need to budget for a new fun car too!

Im planning a Street Tuna 12sec package for it, a nice set of Tein Coilovers & tint. Thats it. It is a Daily after all.

Khoa, yep mate 6 speed manual.

Ash, this is the XR6T's replacement. Skidz NYE! The Evo's replacement is on the "to do" list for 2008..... most likely a Series 3 33GTR, if I can find a stock as a rock one. In Sonic Silver.

I'll snap better pix tomorrow, its raining here & I have to go out in it for dinner! Boo!

That will make it the one of the fastest fish out there!

GTR....it's in the blood. You can't deny it

ps SS, noice

[eMsta]

looks good

do tell us how the petrol expenditure goes though (not trying to diss ya, but just curious)

strangely enough, i was thinking of getting the VT/VX shape hsv xu6 as a daily (was driving in my mums mazda 2 and my old accord/civic while my car was at the mechanics, and maaaaaaan u cant go back to a less powerful car)

[RNGTR]

Archie - I know, cant help it.

Matt - Im interested in fuel costs too, I imagine it'll be similar to my XR6T.

Al - LOL

OMG, Tein made coilover for Holden!!!

12sec package? Its not hard to get those things to run 12 so i have heard. Series 3GTR, you might as well go for an R34 mate .

[RNGTR]

Sure do .... http://www.fulcrumsuspensions.com/tein_per...ject_vecom.html

As for an R34, really will depend on price at the time, if the R34 market really drops then maybe....

[Do-Luck]

Nice bit of kit. Have always liked the VE range, especially the HSV models.
