Hi y'all,

I'm a newbie so I thought I'd share with you lot. I can't see many of us VE'ers about yet?!?

I've only had it since Oct 2006. It's a VE SV6:

- Ignition Orange
- Matte Black track stripes
- Black leather interior
- 6sp manual
- 1200kg tow bar
- Sunroof

Go the "red Team"!!!

[NOT.BT1]

hey drbob welcome to justcommodores hope you like it here not a big fan of the ve myself but that is my opinion yours looks like a tidy unit though treat it well

[VZTHUNDER]

wow....

you even got a the racing stripes

i love the look of the SV6.. its similar to the SS IMO without the 45k price tag

[88GreenVN]

Hey cool looking car - the Red n black is a top choice.

Thanks for the welcome guys! I'm with you lordhsv. Although the price tag with all the options was still around the $47k mark, but I still wanted the SV6 over the V8 option (at this stage anyhoo) Maybe after this one I might venture into the 6L category.

While the track stripes might be a little over the top for some, I think they add a whole new look to the car. Heaps tougher IMO. But hey, they're not everybodies cup of tea I guess.

[VZTHUNDER]

got any plans for it (ones that holden wont fuss over)
like cat back , CAI, etc?

Yeh ild love a VE, get her dumped ... I havent seen a VE dumped yet? only seen chops

[Rogues]

Good lookin' car Bob.......have always liked the red in Commodores, cam very close to picking up a SV6 myself but opted for a Calais instead............
I still swoon over the 'body kit' though whenever I see one.

Enjoy your ride, and Welcome to the VE fan club.

Lookin very nice mate, the stripes look great in person on the ones i've seen, especially in your colour

[EXCESSV]

3" will have it just about on the bumpstops
the VE is different to the previous VT-VZ as they dont have alot of room in the suspension...anything more than 50mm lowered from FE2 and its near enough to bump stops....good way of ruining all the handling improvements Holden made and turning it into a go cart..
30mm is enough to look good and be practical

Yeh ild love a VE, get her dumped ... I havent seen a VE dumped yet? only seen chops

well here you go mate...a guy on another forum with his calaisV..
22" wheels and DUMPED

i'd like to know how you come up with that statement.
the VE is far from being like any other commodore
if you have been in one,driven one for a while then you would realise its a stupid comment.

this is DrBob thread on his new SV6 so keep it on topic

i think he meant that u shouldnt drop a new car that much just cause it will bounce around, possibly damage stuff..but anyway as u said, this is all about Drbob...

man im a huge huge fan of the racing stripes on the VE, gives it a real futuristic muscle car look imo, top work on the choice

[09WNS]

nice SV6 looks good with the SS stripes

[Spaced]

Damn that looks nice I only have one sugestion

DIFF GEARS!!! you'll love yourself for it.

[DrBob]

Thanks for the comments guys 'n gals. I must say, I'm loving the VE more and more each day. Probably a little too much loving...she's already done 10,000kms and needs new rear tyres soon.

It wasn't me...

[tr3nt]

Lol.. Seen CHIEF.8 a few times in my area.. Damn thing sounds and looks nuts!
