thanks wagon, i love it. its immaculate, in and out. haven't had the car since tuesday last week. been at my mechanics. getting a fair bit done. full service- plugs, leads, filters. couple of sensors. brand new radiator, water pump, manifold gaskets, rocker cover gaskets, few other bits and pieces and a nice tune. should have it back tommorow.
Very nice!! VS Stato's will go down in history as being one of the sexiest models ever made! Yours looks awesome!! Any photo's of the interior?
I had a VS HSV enhanced Stato about 6 years ago.... bit the dust when it rear ended a 7 series BMW... almost cried haha!!
