you'll find those people dont even know what their looking at.
Its tough to ignore some peoples negative comments, but its part and parcel of the car scene, ****heads outnumber good blokes 10:1!
most of the bad views-is because they dont even have a wallet as they got no money-
its common to bag something u wish u had or want-
is that street commodores forum still going-
they seem to get all the ****-heads over their which is a good thing-
Nick--
lol yeah it is man
theres a few good ppl on it, but alot of dreamers who cant handle a thrash.
i wish they'd come to CT for a day and see how they like it haha
it just blew me away that there was a fair number of people trying to detract from the car.
if it was a VN or VT or something it'd be all praise.
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

how long til a final tune is in order?
I went with jack on the weekend 2 auto salon & checked it out, this was really the only car I was really keen to see because their was so much hype and stir around it.
The car is stunning in person. I love the dash and trim because it is somthing different. Well done to the owner and the best of luck with this thing can't wait to see more of it.
Oh and awesome plates!
thanks again everyone
i just posted this on street commodores,
G'day ladies and gents,
my name is Steve and im the owner of the black calais ITSWAR,
Just a few things i want to say, thank you to all the people that have supported the car your kind words are greatly appreciated, and to the people that the car doesnt quite do it for them or dislike the car thank you for your comments its a free world and everybody is entitled to an opinion.
It took me 6 years to get this car to where is today, a great amount of sacrafice, dedication and hard times but its finally done, this car was built for one reason my passion for my car, not to impress anybody or to show off because its not my thing. I took the car to autosalon for one reason really, its been in the build for so long that i just wanted to get it out there instead of posting pictures up to show everyone, people could see it in the flesh and make there own decision about the car. Ive noticed in this thread that figures of how much ive spent have been thrown around and to honest it doesnt really matter how much i have spent on it, people that have built cars ground up (full credit to all the beautiful cars out there) know how much money can be involved in big projects, all the mistakes, redoing stuff and all the expensive things along the way. (not to mention being ripped off!)
I built this car the way i wanted it and im happy with the way it turned out. At the end of the day i built my car for me nobody else so i have no one else to impress. Like i said earlier people are entitled to there opinon but if you want FACTS about the car please dont hesitate to contact me.
Just so you guys know the car was built to be driven and raced, after these next few shows thats what you will see......i cant wait.
Thanks,
Steve
6 years and the majority of people didnt find out about it until like a month ago... a credit to your secret keeping skills!
the car is flawless. and it makes me sad because it means in comparison, everybody else (myself included) fails at building a VL.
but on a serious note.... nah im still speechless.

Nice choice in plates aha.
+1 more for Hands down best VL ever made.
Pic with bonnet down:
Did I hear someone said its been fully engineered so it can be street driven and un-defect able?

fkn why pick at a car to find negatives when its clear so much has been done to make it not just 'another VLT'
heh
what a bunch typical bogan holden fags
if this vl calais turbo was the same as any other.. why do so many of us like it?
i love the rear, the interior and the engine its using.. and the body looks so goddamn straight.... only thing we're missing is vids of the car which will pop up sooner-or-later
its perfect. cant beat black over silver with a twincam motor and a "f*ck off" turbo

haha yeah... but.. ****.
come on dude. dont under value the impact this car has had already, just read back over the thread.. uve basically got the entire VL community with their jaws on the ground.
imho building a VL is just as much of an art as it is a science, and i dont think many would disagree with me if i said that this thing is a masterpiece.
anyone who is critical is just jealous. simple as that.
