Ok updated now with pics, gotta get some new ones up though once i take some as my car is dirty in all of these :P.
The VR was makin loud noises for a while and running low oil pressure, my guess is engine bearings but it eventually died completely.

yeah im not a fan of spoilers but this boot lip has grown on me and i quite like it.
nice ride, i also love the boot lips and i am looking for one at the moment. also where's stealthy he's got some competition now another international
When i first got mine, i almost threw up at the sight of the interior, and swore i would rip it out within 15 seconds of getting home.
In the end i realized only 300 International owners, and limited VR Caprice owners have this interior, so i stuck with it.
Great choice of car, not so great choice of rims, but we already established that on msn haha
V85000i, i wont be any competition, i don't post threads about my car anymore.
