hehe nothing wrong with wanting a white vn bt1.. there tuff cars, by the pics you can see how nice they look. i love yellow vn bt1's because im a froffer for the colour but i like white that bit better for'm.
i went to have alook at some before i bought my vnss then my brother inlaw said was for sale n snapped it up, i still keep an eye out for a mint vn bt1 if there ever out there and afew decent ones come up.
buy a vnss like mine can never have enuff mint/clean vnss's going around!
price on them is abit hard, there like vl's but got more left in them after being cained thats for sure.
keep an eye out for youll find a clean one and go for it!!!
charge it and itll go insane, go head work and it'll go insane.. there mean little cars and power to weight is good.
i got video of this vn bt1 doing a nice breaky from geelong picnic 3 years ago (05") sorry about the sh1t pictures its a screenprint of it..

well i payed top doller for mine over 1 year ago now.. my brother inlaw got offered 17k over 2 year ago before the car was together, he had it in the trader for 14k someone came saw it and offered him 12.5k (this was 1 year ago when i bought it) i think or into the 12k mark then i told him i was interested and we worked something out i payed abit under 10grand for mine and i have receipts for over 35grand althou the car has had over 45grand into it from top to bottom alot of genuine parts sourced and put onto it not just performance but keeping it neat and a great example of a vn, new shell new painttop engine bay and all, interior retrimmed in standard, custome parcel tray in leather alot of bits and pieces, engine was refreshed and went threw alot of work, in 4 years my brother inlaw put abit over 7xxx km's on it. which anyone can tell you is F UCK ALL. got pictures and receipts and chris (CGMFLY) and rob (VL0747) always tell me i got it for a steal n he shouldnt of sold it to me for 2grand less because he already lost big on it.
mate i work with, his neighbour just bought a manual atlas grey vnss with cam/chipped computer/comp/new lsd with gears and very basic work with 180k on the clock great condition for 4.5k...
you can findm cheap and good condition or some mint mint examples for abit more.. if you were to pay over 10grand for one itll be f ucken mint top to bottom and have some decent work.
Have alook around and see what there going for and what work it has..

31-01-07, 12:58 GMT+10#94 Yeah, I'm just toying with the idea of a different car at the moment.. bit sick of spending money to get my ute on the road.. kinda lost interst in it ya know?
0 likes
31-01-07, 13:10 GMT+10#95 ye i can imagine, always seen you trying to sell it before all this work.. the more you spend doesnt mean the more you get back, might make it abit easier to sell (if and when you decide too) but for the same price you wanted before you did all this work.
i know how you feel in the lost interest part, hopefully when its back its worth it to you and fun to drive just hope you dont have the luck of getting it smashed again..
keep an eye out for some mint vn's, to be honest seeing alot of clapped up sh1t house vn's kinda turned me off'm but i thought i see just asmany vls like that yet im going for 9's in the vl so might aswell wait for a mint one and had kinda the same idea as my brother inlaw, nice engine setup interior etc. etc. so snapped it up and best buy given me afew problems but thats cars.
