hey guys, heres my newest toy;

Model: VN Calais
Colour: imperial blue over neutral silver :)
Bodykit: Stock, with a vq caprice lip.
Engine Type: 304 v8, dual fuel.
Engine Mods: havent put it on but the cold air intake is there from the ss and a Greenfoam tune :)
Power: 144.8 rwkw
Exhaust: 4 into 1's, high flow cat, 3 inch cat back straight through exhaust.
Gearbox: stock slipping automatic. new one getting built very shortly.
Diff: fresh LSD, 3.73 diff gears
Brakes: crap ones?
Suspension: king spring superlows all round
Wheels/Tyres: 18 inch WM Caprice, 235/45 rubber.
Interior: dash mat :D
Stereo: JVC headunit, amped soundstream splits up front, alpine 6 inch 2-way speakers in the rear

well there she is. the reason i got her is mainly because she is on gas (waits for stealthy to tell me to remove it..), and because of how clean it is. i know this car was well looked after (previous owner was middle aged and used it as his family car). has an awesome note to it. in general i fell inlove with the car as soon as i saw it, and i plan to have her for a while longer than my other cars.

yes, it got towed 5 hours after purchasing it. the ignition seized up out of no-where. was fun trying to get the car onto the truck with the steering lock on though. :whistling
