Yeah I'm still living in the bay, for a few more years yet, want to move back to Newy when the kids finish school. I've seen that Berlina, it looks like it's in pretty good nick. There's a candy pink turbo Calais parked just down the road from it, been there the last week, it looks pretty good too. Saw a VL burnt out just up from the sports fields a few months back, was hoping it wasn't yours. Have seen you since so know it wasn't.
I'd love another VL but with the mortgage, getting married next year and other debts the money just isn't there. Maybe when the Cruze is out of lease I might look again but they will be getting harder to find by then I'd say (another 4 years).
Whether I get another one or not I'll always have a soft spot for them. The SV88 on eBay at he moment looks great, was sitting on 20K last time I checked the bids.

Should get a project VL, you looked like you had a pretty good garage when i was around last.
Yeah that VL, i know roughly who did that. I went down and grabbed the tailshaft and crossmember off it, it was a factory MF5. Someone grabbed the wheels off it before me though lol
No room in that shed with two newish cars, won't be leaving either outside. There's not a lot of room in it either, it's a bit deceiving. Plus I wouldn't be allowed another car just now, can't afford it anyway.
My old shed was the best, double and a half, width and depth. Plenty of room to work there. My parents own the house so I may end up back there some day, a project could happen then, although I think I'd prefer something that's had some work already so I can enjoy it rather than be constantly fixing it. See how I go with things down the track.
Thinking about things, I'd love a VF SS-V or Calais-V, but will see what's available when I'm ready to look. The o0ther option is another VZ Calais, but a 6L instead of the 5.7.

I checked that out on car sales, it's a VYII, has $13k on it. It's a pretty nice car, but more than I intend to spend. If I look at a VZ when the time comes I've narrowed it down to a 6L. Got a few years before I'll be looking.
A VL with an LS motor would be sweet too.

Its a long shot but im starting to get impatient with the lack of vls for sale in newwy

You have to travel dude, keep scanning Gumtree and carsales, wait and they do pop up with reasonable kays, I would love another n/a runabout with zorst and chasers.
