Looking sexy man! when you sent the first pic to me when you went to look at the car I knew you would be buying it straight away! , now hurry up and get that fugly yellow NSW plates off and get some nice black n white VIC ones ;P

yeah lol! nsw plates won't be going for a while though unfortunately the rego is pretty long and i intend to use it . unless i have some money bags fall from the sky and ill do the rwc early.

The interior is an interesting look. I also own a Vespers Blue (718H) 2003 VY1 Calais but mine has the shale (beige) leather interior... and an L67. Either way I thought the VS Calais looked sweet considering Ive owned 3 cars that have all been Calais' and started with a series one VS myself your definately on the right path.

Nice, IMO Calais is almost the only ones worth getting. L67 would be nice, how does it drive/ compare to an L36?

Nice buy man, very clean with low km's. Supersports would look sweet.

Further down the track, go for the VYII Calais body kit and VZ Calais tail lights. It'll clean up the overall look even more.

Yeah definitely, was looking at that before I even bought the car lol. VYII If anything because the VZ Bonnets and Front guards are all different, too much of a mission.

Haha, the VS is tougher at the moment but just wait...


Enjoying driving this one so much more than the VS. Definitely needs and exhaust and a cai though...

Woooooooow mate, saw it on facebook but I didn't realise it was so cheap and with leather.
I would almost consider upgrading the ute if I could find a calais with blue leather and this many clicks for 9g.
Either way mate, looks soooo clean, I can't wait to see it slapped on supers with a moonroof!

cant believe you let the vs calais go man.
the projector lights in these are pretty good, you should swap the globes for H9, cheap and effective upgrade.

ah you know me

I can't say this enough, there is absolutely no comparison - everything is 100% better, a new level completely.
Handling is brilliant, torque and acceleration are even good!

Cheers dude! I know I almost died when I saw it

To be honest my heart broke a little when I bought my last calais because I didn't know it had a green pearl in it til I saw it lol.
Owning a blue car again has definitely made the year haha.

yeah man good deals are out there just gotta be on the lookout and in the right place at the right time.

actually thinking I might go pentagons yet.. we'll see...

yeah, it was a tough decision but so glad i did. what do you mean h9? is that the globe type?

 

[Drawnnite]

pentagons > supersports =P

so updates everyday i heard.
get cracking on it =P

so whats it like being in a vy/vz interior with leather in comparison to the VS
ive been in standard and leather VZ's but never enough to tell much of a difference.
for the initial go the leather felt nice. but does it always feel like this or does the feeling wear off? (well seeing you drove for 10+hrs you should know)
and if they are good... anyone know a price to get VS seats retrimmed? =P
