you can just hear the aussies giggling about the times lol

they can laugh all they want,just makes it wetter when we run quicker times etc

thats true.....our GTR is faster than any of theres and we cleaned them up on there own turf and our RB30 is faster as well Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yep,vere just a bit behind in the vl area lol

it doesnt exist here lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

What about some v8 times ? anyone takin their slug down the 1/4 ?

The only V8 VL I remember seeing go down the strip was 2 years ago, a Gold/champagne Injected 5L Calais with a T56 behind it, from memory did around a mid-14, not bad for a bog standard Inj 5L (I think the 6-speed helped and not sure if the car was originally 3 Litre with 3.45 diff or whether it had a 3.08 V8 diff in it). I haven't seen that car since - does anyone know where it is? Gold/champagne (same colour as ATEMPT VL Calais Turbo), Inj 5L Calais with T56, had a turtle-shell engine cover same colour as car. I saw it on TM soon after that race but haven't seen or heard of it since. Was in Waikato I think.

Use to have different plates when it had the stock 304 inj

Could well be, I don't think there's too many gold calais' around in NZ, got any pics?

Far left ---------- Post added 09-06-10 at 12:54 ---------- The one in the middle (1HOTVL) is Holden Tiger Gold, and PROHSV far left is a Toyota Corolla colour Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I just carjam'd that plate PROHSV, comes up as a Berlina (have a close look at the nosecone and taillight surrounds on that car above ^), previous plate was BADGPA in 2002. Car I saw definitely didnt have a P/Plate as I would have remebered if it did. The car I saw was same colour as this: Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Ah that colour, nah sorry don't know that one. I remember when PROHSV was BADGPA, he wanted to buy my plates because he said people always thought is read BAD GRAMPA

^lol

Adams name poped to mind reading that ^^ haha
