50/50 chance for me. Tuner is coming over on Saturday to get the VL into a run-in tune. If that all goes well, I'll see you all out there on Sunday.

We were going to tow the wagon out for the cruise. But Andy seems to think it looks odd with the dark green doors back on it. My reply......who cares, she went 167mph....she doesn't need to look good......may or may not see ya's there

Stayed up to 3:30am solid finalising the wiring loom and other small items to have the VL ready for 9am for tuning. Got to drive the VL today!!! oh my gawd! have only used 1/3 throttle to get some running/driving data. Holy snapping duck shit - this thing just shits all over the RB30!.. How ever... The tailshaft hits the floor pan pretty bad and as such - only put about 1km of driving on the VL and it will not make C4C tomorrow So devo'd! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah your gonna have to space the box down man, i had to heaps to get mine to clear the undercarriage. ill be there in my ute, calford has no gearbox and waiting on my cams to be made Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

great turnout of vl's, typical queensland cruise :P

That Black VL we looked at was quality!

Who owns the black one - specs!!

good day out but bloody hell the qld CT members are pethetic sweat FA turnout total of vl's about 5 in total if that. it was VE central a few F-ing shev badges and even pontiac banges on eco-techs wtf.

Mate, I think you'll find there's a few qld vl's that couldn't make it due to going to events like powercruise and jamboree etc. obviously the guys that could make it did, and the guys that are trying to finish cars or fix cars didn't. A commodore 'cruise' isnt the be all and end all for qld vlt owners. Events like powercruise are.... Having a crack at guys for saying they will go, and then not turn up, isn't going to magically get their ass moving faster. It's not 10yrs ago when we could cut the springs and buy some hektik 17's and its done, guys in here are spending bulk $$ to build some very tough cars, they aren't going to let a commodore cruise dictate anything. Plus we don't all talk it up like troyvk......haha, sorry mate, had to throw it in here

Plus we don't all talk it up like troyvk......haha, sorry mate, had to throw it in here I wasnt trying to come across or trying to state or make out that that the cruise was to dictate that CT members should go i was stating the VL/ commodore scene up here eats donkey d1ck it is absolute crap unless you like seeing chev badges on stock VE's and the occasional VN in qld and the members that state they will go and dont because their car is still broken or not finished again and again are tossers + the guys building tough cars and dont drive them are the same boat. Please Disagree if you think the Vl scene in Qld is anything different. let me ask this when was the last time in QLD you saw 50 no even 20+ VL's cruising. to See 5 at a cruise is slack how many were at jamboree probably not many, and the guys on here with their builds going cant be the only VL owner/Hoons/enthusiasts in QLD if so the old VL in qld is rare a sh1t

Mate, to be honest, any type of cruising in qld went out the window atleast 6yrs ago, around the time the 5-0 cracked down on broadwater carpark. That would have been the last time I saw 20+ qld vlt's on a cruise or at the same spot. The cost and risk the guys that don't 'drive' their cars is more than most ppl imagine. But guys ARE going to spend the $ and run the risk for a big event. Did you not see the amount of vl's at powercruise, and the two powerplays earlier in the year? The vlt scene is fine here in qld, it's just moved away from the cruise scene. Like I said, majority of guys are building big hp cars now, for racing, for powerskids, for everything but cruising. It's just moved in a different direction. That's just my thoughts anyway, pop up to the next powercruise/powerplay and you'll see all the vlt's you want, doing what they are built for. On a side note, very 2nd vy-ve v6 has a chev badge. It's the in thing. Hahaha.

Hahaha. what you state i will agree with for here in queensland, but none the less their arent many in the scene up here it is small and mainly consists purpose built race cars that cant be driven on the street or arent that isnt the point of building a car and a shame! If you build it shouldnt you build for some reliability

Yeah, you are right, qld does miss the cars that can be regularly driven, but whatever it may be, something has swayed everyone to chase the numbers, whether its hp or et's. And in that, a lot of reliability is lost. I can't vouch for eveyone, it's just what i think. A lot of guys would have gone to the cruise, like Scotty in rip 30, insane vl, my wagon on a trailer etc etc, but a lot of guys were out with breakages etc. there are nice streeters up here mate, they just don't get out much. There's a lot of mint vl's sitting in garages and workshops up here

if i could build a 2 speed powerglide overnight i would have been there but these things take time and also overnight parts from japan, oh i mean USA Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
