Yep, that works, looks really nice, I do love the vt/vx shape and that colour is a good one

Very nice...

Both are the reasons why I bought it. Well those and it's manual

Thanks

Yeah, I do prefer changing gear myself, the one thing I hate about my maloo but have got used to (curse) and some reason can't bring myself to change, oh and I just spent a lot of money getting auto rebuilt

 

[v6nutz_2012]

Yeah I had autos for most my life and decided it would be a good idea to get a manual. I do a bit of spirited driving here and there and it made it much more enjoyable
Only downside now is clutch is slipping and box is a bit noisy. Clutch will be getting done today though as well as rockers (hopefully)
