So here is a link to my photobucket album, which features all the pics of car, in cruises, new wheel pics etc.> My Car pictures by Jeffery_Robertson - Photobucket
A video of myself doing some driving > YouTube - Brisbane Mountain Cruise - Leaving the park - Black VZ Acclaim

 

Haha nice work and thanks. remove them all together? doesn't even sound legal haha. the link to the video should still be up there? about the SS headlights, I'll keep it in mind haha. first post has been edited to show where my interior shots are (photobucket )

 

Or was it this video you were talking about? YouTube - Hitler reacts to Chev badges on Commodores haha.hilarious

 

Just a quick update, have rear king springs for the car, bought off B£å¢kÐðg today :thumbsup: thanks.not sure when they'll be on haha

 

Thanks man haha

Yeah, won't happen 'till I'm back at work getting paid haha. Ultra low

 

I did, i squirreled most of it on a ps3 and the signature edition of Gran Turismo 5 etc. i have the money to do the front as well, but i'm just gunna hold on it for now, in case i need the money for the unexpected haha. Bills, food, petrol etc. Just figured it'd be the "logical" thing to do
Should look good when it's all done haha.Yeah relatively flat haha. It'll be sweet. Haha nice work

 

Haha it was due to be released November 4th but it's been delayed again so who knows yeah i know that feeling haha.yeah i'm hoping it won't be that bad lol.driveways i frequent aren't that bad

 

Haha thanks. the sticker is a play on the "every K over is a killer" slogan that was spread around in the media etc. plus that and my bad sense of humour. I saw it on a ute, thought it was hilarious so i did it. and you'd be surprised how often i get tailgated (doing the speed limit mind you) because I'm stereotyped as a hoon.

:rofl:

 

Got the rear end lowered today(3.5 inches) on Ultra low King springs looks good, will look better once the front is lowered to haha
