VE ss ute hopefully, or ss-v
"Today 05:19 PM
daron would have thought the race stripes and rice lights would have been worse than having a trailer attached"

are you serious? thats a gto le coupe, they came with the stripes from the factory! they are actually painted on!! look very very nice, and not over-done. you could get them in black with gold stripes as seen, red with white stripes or i beleive yellow with black stripes was the last option.

also, i beleive that may be my father's old car? if it was gto le build no 001 then thats my old boy's old car. he bought it off hsv once they had finished using it, apparantely the head of hsv had it as a personal car.

as for the towbar, i can understand the op's frustration, as that is a very very rare car. but its not doing any damage to the car, and can easily be removed later. for a towbar you don't even have to cut the wiring with the genuine holden harness. its not as if he tubbed the rear, and cut a hole in the bonnet for a supercharger, and put a roll cage in for racing

as for minux driving his senator down a 4wd track, if it was a rough serious 4wd track you would have to be a tosser. do you still have the bodykit left on your car? if it was only a bit of mud and water, and could be crossed with no damage i understand, although with it being such a rare car also, and none on the market for sale i still wouldn't do it.

either way, i don't beleive there's anything wrong with what that guy is doing to his gto, but each to they're own, and everyone is entitled to they're own opinion

Ah trust me, it was a "good" track. I had no other option, was either reverse out losing my rear bar or keep driving and hoping for the best. It is possible to drive cars over rough terrain without damaging them. Its not like i was doing 140 down the road. Although the 30 metre drop I almost went over was pretty hairy.

New Hilux coming my way thats for sure

bit of food for thought, dont focus on a hilux, they aint that great anymore, my pick would be an isuzu d-max or a bt-50 if your going luxo spec,

triton is last on the list, they are absolutely woeful, but honestly, we are having so many small niggling issues with the hilux, they dont deserve the hilux name, its a disgrace compared to the prevo model:thumbsup:

Yawn.

And what the hell would be wrong with that?
