    hello guys

    i have come across a nice s ute vu which i am thinking about buying for a good price, has hard lid and its quite nice, anyone out there can tell me anything about them, fuel economy? what they drive like, havent driven it yet, any pics with vu s would be cool, im gonna pimp it up, so basically looks same as ss without the fuel bill i guess, any info would be appreciated

    thanks for ur time

    Djvsa, I have a 02 Vu S ute. It's the same as driving a Vt - Vx sedan wagon, Their better on fuel if you have a hard cover, I have been getting 650 to 700kms to a tank (highway driving) I'll put some pixs up soon

    Djvsa, the monaro bonnet was $600 incl postage off ebay.
