    yeah,but i'm getting older and had my fair shear of manuals over the years.Even trying to find a manual over here would be a joke.

    Hi, nice car you have there. I noticed you are in Tauranga. I have a friend who lives here in TeAroha, just over the hils...has a 1998 Clubsport. He joined HSV club last year, but hasnt done any cruises with them, as they tend to stay overnight at places. He is keen to go out for a cruise if you are interested? He is an older guy of 50, his kids have left home, not into burnouts or drags... just cruising, he often gets over to Tauranga, but only drives it on a sunny weekend. chk my album photos have listed some photos of it. get back to me if you a keen, I can set something up, as he is losing interest in owning it, as it doesnt gets used much. Brian.

    Na,i'm about the fourth owner.I've had to clean it up,last owner didn't really care about it.I got this one pretty cheap,but theres a couple on Trademe for $17.000 and $19.000.
