i really wanted a lh torana in high school, as my mate had a 186 bored to 196 or something, with holley, m20 box etc...
then i found out about the vlt, bought afew mags and really started to like the shape, but the engine was the thing that won me. a mate got his vl calais 5L and i just wanted my vlt calais. but couldn't afford it.
went through a vk calais 3.3L injected six, then r31 skline manual, then vl calais na, now turbo:-)
My older bro had an absolutely IMMACULATE calais NA morone over silver completely stock, like it still had new car smell.
I craved it and i liked the motor but i somehow ended up with an R31 for my first car
then i did some reading up on the hdt vl's (particulartly this one "LE 3533")
as soon as i saw saw it in street commodores (many years ago) i knew i just had to have one... dark blue, showroom condition, completely stock but with a built up motor.
but my budget wont allow for a toy of that nature for a few years yet... so i've built this beast to keep my cravings at bay for a few more years...

looks immaculate vl 88 wa very nice calais man. My brother got me into vl's. He bought one and i just loved the looks of them and the decent power they made. There just beasts had to be a manual and have never gone back. will always have a manual.

to be honest, it was GMH-30L, when i 1st saw it in the mag i didnt know what a calais was, then was reading about it, got the paper the following week and purchased my 1st calais when i was 15. GMH-30L is a flawless car and ill always love the damn thing.

jack i think it was around 4 years ago and i think it was street machines, they had the car over 2 pages looked HOT!
And no where not gonna lose, we are the champions......
My old man bought the VL in early 1996 and nearly 10 years after, my parents went overseas for a couple of months. I ended up using their car as a daily for the time being cos i wanted to save on fuel and stuff. A few months went by and then suddenly i started to acknowledge the VL more than what i had used to in the past.
I bought the VL off my dad in 2002 but until 2005 i didn't really care about it nor did i look after it the way i do now. A few months into 2005 i found this website, can't remember how i did so but yeah. Ever since, things have never been the same. Go the VL.

so after a extensive search found a vl and wouldnt sell it now (maybe for the rite price)
ahh and i saw CORSA at all holden day a few years back
did he have the F20 there fark that would be enough to convert a 351 cleavo nut to the rb30 powered vl

i dont know.. and i wish i never liked them !
although at one point i really hated VL's and i thought about becoming a cop so i could yellow sticker every "sik c*nt" who owns a VL.. now look at me
i guess its because of the RB engine really, and the fact they are "affordable", which they really arent once you start playing around with them... it then becomes a headache

wait i actually like them i got just as many pics/vids of vl turbos than i do of "imports"
just that when i get a chance to vent out some anger.. i usually take it out on vls
but i was right about 1 thing... they are cheap when stock.. but when u do stuff to them, as with any car, it isnt really "cheap".. but u have one hell of a weapon

Guess i grew up around the VL's with my parents having a 3L Berlina, my Uncle with a V8 Berlina and my Grandfather had the Calais Turbo. My parents didn't have it long and sold it just before i got my licence, but i did get to drive the other two.
Always loved the VL SS Group A and that was the first VL i bought and every one since that i have owned has aso been a HDT or HSV model. All of which started life as a Berlina with the turbo engine. Only ever got to drive a 3L VL when my sister bought one. I'm sure in the future when space allows there will be more VL's to add to the collection.
