This car is just...awesome. In the flesh is so much better than pictures.

So much character!!! Love It!!!

Cheers dude, not as much character as your volvo though

ahh i love this car.
i recon those wheels would look mint with a chrom dress trim around them though

love the car man

thats sweet man, soooo awesome!

i have a set of what i think is HQ wheel trims, dunno if they are, but there heaps deeper then regular ones.

Haha yes crome dress trims wouldn't look half bad at all. It's not a bad thought... ^_^

Took this thing on a cruise up the coast couple of weeks ago - I couldn't bloody believe it. On three consecutive stretches of the Hume Highway, from Shepparton across the border and through the Golbourn Valley, up past Sydney this thing AVERAGED:

11.4 litres per hundred over 329km
11.8 litres per hundred over 285km
10.9 litres per hundred over 413km

using combined readings of miles on the odometer and GPS readings of distance travelled, against complete click-stop fills at service stations.

Unbelievable. On the return stretch from Sydney to Melbourne I stopped ONCE for fuel. This thing is incredible for a carby 202

[Blown V6 Hatch]

Has this got a Chev in it yet?

[Dirbatua]

Tell me you've still got this car?

yea he does.

Has this got a Chev in it yet?

no it hasn't

unless he has done it in the last couple of weeks amongst everything else.

[Blown V6 Hatch]

Oooh, poor form. As if you'd have an HQ this long without bolting a Chev (or atleast a plastic) in it....

[MikeCuzzy]

Glad to hear it still lives
