Don't get me started� it's one of those "less is more" things I guess?? This is the way I see it... Pros Turbo, FE2 suspension Cons Wind up windows, shit seats, shit wheels, funny colour options, and they�ve been thrashed by people who didn't care about the cars because they didn't pay for them Sorry Aaron, I actually do like the look of them, I just don't understand the obsession Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I guess it's something to do with the snail... I would like to see one with full cop livery, that would be choice. It seems to be more of an Aussie thing tho, they go nuts over them. Just like venetians - now those I don't understand! Only look right at bowling clubs! if your lucky enough you might see one here in full uniform Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

As for Alex's comment on the situation.. (and I'm sure he won't disagree here, just bringing the situation up to date) any 20 year old car should have had the shocks and springs replaced and anyone who buys a VLT will want to modify it, which means altering the turbo set up anyway. *Whiskey has had a hand here*

^^ Agreed, but I was really talking about factory optioned But at the end of the day we don't buy everything based on specs. If we did none of us would be driving VLs... I built my car because I had a soft spot for them, not because of the couch like seats, chrome cabin light or electric windows. I�ve even been thinking my next VL may very well be a Berlina with factory paint and pinstripes Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
