I wonder how this actually happened?
Did they accidentally slip on the pedal out of the car park?
The mind boggles.

Although down the street from my house, a person was killed from an elderly person accidently putting their foot on the accelerator, driving 40m forward and crushing someone sitting on a park bench into the wall of a NAB bank.

VL's are hot. But cannot compare in any way to the most Horn of All Commodores, the almighty VN.

I like the way you think.
Would prefer VB-VK with VL (Nissan) donk though

I've seen a guide for putting the mighty 3.8 ecotec into a VK... interested?

I saw this in Braybrook a month ago. It was in the 15-minute area for over an hour. I won't say who or what the driver was, but it's who/what you'd expect.

Saw this Skyline at Highpoint last week. Awesome front bar.

Some might see this as an epic fail. So I'll post it here for their amusement.

My uncle is shipping off to darwin and is leaving me his HZ GTS (4 door) for a small sum.

It's a restoration job, but that's exactly what I'm after. Should be lots of laughs, tears, blood and beers with mates to come.

Fled74 · 30-05-2011, 10:34 PM

A couple more...

Spotted this truck on the way to work recently.

Another truck entered the employee car park at work a few months ago. He got in OK, but this happened when he tried to reverse out.

The entry slope is a bit steep, but (with care) even low cars can get in without scraping. There's a big sign on the fence that says "Employee Car Park" and the loading dock (a different gate) is also clearly marked.
We had a chuckle at the poor guy's expense - he was stuck for over an hour.

some nice scrape marks there lol

There is nothing fail about that at all.
I am seething with jealousy

The jealousy is making my eyeballs melt...you lucky lucky sod...word to the wise...it will be worth a lot more and have better street cred if it's done up as close to original (in appearance anyway) as possible. Gone (hopefully) are the days of guys chopping up genuine GTS and Bathurst Monaros to make modified monstrosities...people deserve to see some running around in their original glory. As I said, at least externally...

Has original gts wheels (my uncle apparently scoured the country for these)

and 2 motors. Unfortunately the original matching numbers motor is long gone.

If I end up getting it I'll likely paint it back to the paint code it rolled out of the factory with.

No stupid chromies or dumpage. It'll probably take me a few years to get it a condition I'll be happy with. The only real issue with it is the body is rooted.

Cheers guys

Aftermarket sunroof?

Bucknaked · 31-05-2011, 09:09 PM

Most people remove stripes whith a hairdryer and some metho. I guess the back of a truck is another method.
