ahh red lights... while I was driving through a GREEN, a bus ran a red. Result attached. :rip: V8 car was paid for by insurance, but the mods cost me a cool $10k which I never got back

Should compare the latest models V6 and V8... whats the point of comparing of 11 year old cars?

my VX V8 Calais used more petrol on highway than the VT V6 Calais. I drove down to Melbourne from Sydney and the V6 was between 8.2L and 8.4L per 100kms. The V8 would be between 8.9L and 9.4L per 100kms (unmodded). After exhaust, tune, wider and larger wheels, suspension and gts intake the V8...

packed to the brim? UK: Population - 60mill Land area - 241,000 sq km People/sqm - 249 aprox. Aus: Population - 21mill Land area - 7,618,000 People/sqm - 2.76 aprox. Certainly not all of Australia is habitable, but I am sure we can find more than 241,000 sqm of habitable land...

Autobots, transform and roll out!

Had this happen to me. Rock was at an apex of a bend, middle of the road. I just lowered the car and put new extractors + full twin stainless steel exhaust about a month prior. Rock smashed the right extractor, the right cat, and lodged itself between the two mufflers. Was stuck there for a...

not really road rage, but still funny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfLlGHV1dG4

Not sure if this is a phobia, but I can't stand eating chips with my fingers. It really bugs me, sometimes so much that I resort to using a spoon.

The ones that have been posted up are the Berlina ones, Calais has a chrome strip just over the number plate. Monaro lights would be extra cool if you were planning on converting the front to monaro style as well at some stage. Both options are good though.

GOLD!.....

I don't like the whole old new thing in the Logo as well... Looks a bit tacky I think. Just shove a new SS or an HSV on there and its sweet

The type of engine manufactured will be directly tied into the cost of production rather than which one is "better". Most likely the OHC engines are cheaper to manufacture

Remember the Bad Boys movie!

I had the same choice last year... VY Berlina or VX Calais... I chose the VX over the VY, with the same choice now, I would go either VX Calais still, or get a VY SS (but those choices are all in the V8 variants). So I vote V8 5.7 :p Seriously though probably go the VY for resale value.

I think it looks alright... my most hated car designs are still the Citroens and Mitsubishi 380

I just want to know whether the Vic police willl have a problem with my car and my dusty NSW green P's when I go there for a visit in August. The NSW police have pulled me over for random checks a few times as well as for speeding and did not say anything about the car.

I normally have it at 15L/100kms in the city... best consistent reading was 13.4L/100kms in the city. Worst consistent reading was 22L/100kms.

Auto Calais...

turn automatically when it gets dark

sorry to go a bit OT but Liverpool Exhausts are awesome guys... did my car, and I absolutely love it. IMO and some of my Ford mates reckon I have the best sounding V8! Oh and cool Forester... some of them sound like a wrx sti, very mean!

From my experience the younger officers tend to be more forceful than the older ones... The older officers also seem to know what to say to you to make you really understand how badly you stuffed up. When I got caught speeding the officer was very calm and polite, but I felt so embarassed and...

suspended until August 07... (on Ps, went over points, and instant loss adding up to total of 9 months) first speeding ticket... won't be doing that again

I think the over the radiator CAI would be the best option from seeing the more heavily modified V8s equiping them.

Doesn't matter that we have reserves, we still have to pay world prices... The price for LPG will rise at the same rate as oil.

I say "owdee"

I escaped that one under something, the magistrate called 'Section 10' which is like a one time only chance for a first offender. Not sure if Vic has that

I got done for rear P plate falling away from the rear windscreen in August 2005. The front was clearly visible. (Pics attached) Took it to court, the fine was thrown out... but I only found out later that the points were still added to my license. As I was on my reds, the officers gave it to...

in NSW its $175 and was two points a couple of years back. Edit: I think the points might have gotten up to 3, but not exactly sure

Its just evolution working...

the left side being brighter, could be the adjustment... as I think the right side is pointed down more than the left so as not to blind oncoming traffic

My car (extractors, GTS CAI, K&N, gts cai pipe) has significantly better economy that my dad's car (which is exactly the same, but stock). This is testing the car over several weeks of constant driving by him. Although he is still not convinced that the money I spent on the mods is worth it...

The reason he asked that is when you touch the bulb, you leave your fingerprint, which due to the massive temperetures the bulb reaches can cause uneven expansion of the glass, cracking the bulb, and causing it to not work

He didn't mean you VicCop, or Helly... you two are cool! :thumbsup: From the help you have given everyone here, I am sure each and everyone that reads this thread regularly realises that both of you must do your job the best anyone can.

i got my Ps before the restrictions... so I can still have a V8 while on my greens

there is a good excel help website: www.mrexcel.com

It could have been collectable in its original condition... but not as it is now. Still looks nice though

looks like you are a russian gangster in that one

I don't know which one I am with, car is under a novated lease and the leasing company assigned me an insurer. Should add 'Other' to the poll
