Yeah, I'm assuming you remember how much of a success the Mondeo was when they first tried selling it here about 10 years ago *laughs* I guess they may have more luck these days though, considering that the new Mondeo's a much better car, despite the fact that I see more FGs getting about than I do Mondeos, despite the fact that the Mondeo has been on the market for longer than the FG.

The only thing I remember about the Mondeo was that Greg Hasford was kill in one. (or the series that he raced in)

Small/mid size car racing in Australia as the premier form of racing = FAIL.

The reason you see more Falcons than Mondeo's is because of the drive wheels ;) This is Australia, we love RWDs. Americans can't handle RWDs, so they opt for FWD or AWD.

Except for the RWD Monaro's we sent over the the US of A

And the new G8's

Not only is the steering wheel on the wrong side the drive wheels are at the wrong end:p
They probably climb in the boot. (if they could fit:rofl::rofl:)

Going by the videos i've seen, my comment was accurate. Powerslide across 3 lanes and clips another car. What a poor GTO.

Was this an Australian purchase? I thought the GTS only went to NZ.

And yep would love to see more on this car :)

Taken from my VN GTS pamphlet:

510 built in two colours: "Vivid White and GTS Blue metallic" (Looking at the pictures: Alpine White and Imperial Blue)
Electric windows, central locking, electric antenna, "4 speaker AM/FM radio-cassette sound system" (whatever the hell that is...:smoking:)

Pamphlet also dated 'March 1990'

I would love to see a PBS from one of these, let alone the model number: ei: VN8VK19-XXX :w00t:

You have a VN GTS pamphlet - and did not tell me :(

A scan is required I think :)
