    I will get them up mate, it's been 11 years since I had the car, I got it back yesterday, paid alittle more then a normal vn calais, it's missing quite alot then what it's meant to have but I don't care, I'm keeping it now, and it's not going again,.....plans are to get a t56 speed back in it, twin throttles again, and maybe supercharge this time, but I'm not changing colour or interior as its what I wanted in the first place, I only sold the car to buy my first house and regretted it since,
    Happy ever after
    Cheers guys!!!

    This is actually a great thread, started reading thought it thinking you probably will never get the car back, especially because of the missus or the previous owner might not sell it. Next thing it's yours a few years later. Most people aren't so lucky.

    Reminds me of this video:

    I used to think that video was an awesome story until I saw the Chevrolet advertising at the end which made me thi k it was all staged. Totally destroyed it for me.

    Yeah that's the only thing, hard to say whether it is actually real or just made up to advertise for Chevrolet.
