    Default group a vn

    hmmm just thought id post up that just near my town, well about 20 k other side of lakes i was driving my old mans car as mine aint going, pull up at an interection and the car in front of me gives it to it and pulls out right as this blue car runs right into the side.

    i jumped out and called the ambo's and the car that ran into the side of it was a origanal group a vn, i mean this car looked sweet, the guy was moving fine so i helped him out taking note that the car only had 15,000 k's or so, i mean this vn looked almost brand new, other then the damge.

    i talked to the cops and the guy for awile and he confirmed that it was a brand new group a, well not new but only a once a month drive, unfortanetly it was a total right off as the 6 speed had come through the centre console and broken in man spots, and the v8 was in even worse condition

    poor guy, but he said he was guying to keep it. fortanetly no one was hurt bad, as for the other car it was some jap crap and i was amzed it held up to the blow, although it was on its roof

    i said the car that hit the side of the one infront of me was blue, as i didnt no it was a group a, i only noticed it was blue at first, the one in front was gay arse greeny colour,

    edit, i just read that u mean wat group a came out stock blue? well i dont no i just know it was a mettalic dark blue, might not be stock paint but i dont see why u would paint a origanal group a, maybe he liked blue more...

    Correction. There were 300 durif red Group A's and two Cherry Black ones, BUT they were painted durif red from the factory, as indicated on the build plates.
    There was no white one.

    well he would have hit at around 100 id say, and maybe the guy was bullshitting to me, but then again why would u do that, and plus who sticks a 6 speed in a group a unless they really wanted to make it origianal, but ohwell, i just found it quite classic as a commy hits a rice burner... or jap crap as i called it

    Then why is it the two HSV references in front of me (from HSV, not another sourse) list the build quantity at 302?
    Where is this white one then? Never seen pics or references of it................
