    VR/VS V6 stato/caprice, in silver or white... or black with a light blue/lightish green upper one day

    P-W ratio, fuel and cost the mini wins hands down but i sorta want space...

    I voted for VK, only because I wish I could afford one to do up myself.. lol
    VR/VS Statesman's are nice though, a mate just recently bought a nice gold colour VR stato.
    I never really been in to mini's that much, so yeah, I'm sticking with the VK..

    Go the mini! I love little lightweight cars with a decent engine. They can surprise many many more powerful cars, and the handling, that's something you don't get with a big car.

    lol.. I really wished I could afford to buy yours VKCOMMO(and wish my landlord wouldn't complain about old cars laying around.. the downside of renting.. )
    I was saying to vk.jonno the other day, how I'd love to make a VK SS 'Blue Meanie' replica.
    Just something about that Formula Blue and group A body kit, gotta love it!
    So yeah, that was the reason for my vote anyways..

    $750 and its yours if you change your mind..

    One of my plans was to do a group 3 rep with A bonnet scoop and paint a few shades lighter than formula blue an put in low on VX GTS 19's..

    But... my wallet didnt like that idea

    get the mini but why the 13b ?? come on if you get a 1000 cc mini chuck a r1 engine in it ha ha mad as with over 16,000 rpm or if you have one that has certs for a 1275 chuck a suzuki hayabusa engine in it
    for a few reasons
    1, rotors sux
    2, way more fun hitting 15,000 plus rpm ( sounds mad )
    3, I thought you could not turbo cars on p's over there ?? ( but these engines will be even more insane with turbo hanging of them )
    4, Thought you said gas was an issue ( rotors sux gas )
    5, if you use the gear box with the motor bikes and u just get a change over one for fwd/rev , then you get 6 gears in reverse ( trully insane )
    6, plus rotor minis have been done before , and rotors sux

    ha ha yeah not voting though but minis are fun thats for sure but a rotor in one ??
    other wise do up the vk as there is loads and loads of cheap parts for it .

    That won't work even if you become a mechanic anyway, the exemption only applies during work hours.

    The main reason i said G13B, it is a swift engine...

    Whats the one your talking about and how would i do forward and reverse quickly?

    Not in NSW, you just get the bit written on the back of your license that sayd no super, turbo or 8+ cylinder vehicles removed.

    Haydz got one on his license
