'P' Plater, VN V8?
well its that time.... my son turns 17 early November, and im looking for a car as he will also get his 'P' plates. Now here is my delema.....
He is set on a commodore.. no doubt about it, and preferably a VN, VP, hard thing for me.. is that i would prefer he had a manual box to gain as much experience as possible, plus i want to drive the bugger too!!! :whistling
Anyway its hard enough to find a VN/VP V6 5spd manual in Australia, let alone Western Australia..... so i pose the question...
There are just so many Vn/vp v8s with a 5spd for sale, including a couple for $5k... which i am looking at, at the moment. 165kw.... and an 15 y/o car.. so its bound to be down a tad on power. Fuel wouldnt be a problem as where i live at the moment unleaded is at $1.65, thats normal unleaded too!! and where moving to the city, and having learnt to live with high prices, it doesnt pose that much of a problem.
The only problem i really see is finding someone to insure the car?
So what do you think.. an old 304 injected motor for a P plater?
