21-02-11, 20:56 GMT+10#124 From the pics I have seen, it seems there were some very nice cars at the event. I haven't been for a few years. I stopped going when the level of cars that they let into Elite Pavillion unfortunately slipped to a lower level (or they couldn't find many "Elite" worthy cars that year).
A previous partner's car of mine made it into elite a few years ago. It was a late model Commodore at the time with only some lowering, leather interior, chrome highlights under bonnet and some mags (albeit not very desirable looking mags). I saw alot better cars in the car park and on my way to the event on the roads.
It looks as though there still was the normal blend of people wanting to have fun, and people wanting to start fights.
I haven't owned a VL for a year now but its great to see so many still getting $$$$ spent on them.

22-02-11, 00:27 GMT+10#127 I have an opinion ink and I just voiced it above. My opinion of elite pavillion doesn't involve cars with minor bolt-ons that I see each and everyday in shopping carparks. If my opinion makes you unhappy then thats very unfortunate.
The particular car I quoted on was driven on several occasions by me and I didn't believe it was of Elite Pavillion material going by what I have seen over the last 15 plus years of going to Motorvation.
If you are keen to discuss in further detail then feel free to PM me.
Oh, if you are keen to know what I drive, look on the left hand side of the page and you will see under my avatar pics some info. Check along side Car:
Cheers
Matt
Lots of peoples opinion of one of my previous vl's was that it could possibly have been a nomination for Elite Pavillion....I disagreed and thought that it too wasn't Elite Pavillion material in my eyes. Again, this is all just my personal opinion and you are welcome to agree or disagree with it.
FYI: A few links to one of my previous rides below;

experience (the best sleeper VL in WA, possibly all of aus). had all of the right bits and more impressively almost all completely hidden from view, including a lowmount setup.

Full Exhaust, DOT Street Slicks, BP Ultimate Fuel, RB30ET, T04R Turbo, Motec ECU, Nizpro Plenum, KEAS 4sp Auto with Transbrake, 3500rpm Stall. Car driven 2 hours to Motorplex then 2 hours home. Timesheet Click here (http://i2.tinypic.com/2lmosk7.jpg)[/list]
whilst that alone should be enoug to satisfy a valid oppinion, he has also spent far longer around some of the fastest untalked about vls in WA than you or i have owned vls. especially in the southwest corner where they seem to breed 10sec vls.
back on topic... any decent boobs get taken out for a run?
and boostn, i do enjoy the RB at full boar bouncing around the limiter, nothing else sounds like it. brilliant!

Sure i bought my car and i continue to mod it but i try not to put other ppls cars down when they work hard to get them in the elite pavillion...

ah no
But yes, HoldenOn's VL was one of the cleanest in the state and knows a thing or two about quality vehicles

I didn't even check out the elite pavillion this year
Last years was fairly uninspiring from a spectators opinion, some cars were quite 'cool' and of high standard but some I wouldn't look twice at - like some S15 that was in there, and some R33 that was quite 'sex spec'..although it had an exciting paintjob, it's hardly the "in style" when it comes to imports FFS.
Elite pavillion should only be for concourse vehicles (or SPECIAL vehicles that have had big dollar restorations) and immaculate hot rods, street machines. Some of the cars outside in the normal display areas probably deserve spots in this place...meh

I've noticed you type a lot too, and most of your posts are nonsence. Looks to me and everyone else thats hit the report post button that you've missed the point Matt's tried to make here... and possibly some people are tiring of your posts?

^^^ Spot on.
Ink, regardless of what cars I have owned and whether they have been built, bought, or borrowed, this makes no difference as my opinion is what it is!
Whilst there are forums in this world, there will be differing opinions and surprisingly, alot may differ to yours......get used to it.
