i was originally going to turbo my vp v6 commodore, i bought a 2nd engine and started stripping it down ready to work the internals. Then i went for a drive in a mates 220rwkw vlct and soon changed my mind, about 3months later i had a vl turbo and the v6 is still sitting in the shed in bits lol

GAS747 and ONABAR were my favourite vlt's couple years back and my mate has a 280rwkw vlt then me and my mates eventually got vl's and vlt's as we got older and now here i am 18 and vl turbo as first car

i grew up wit all muztek's going OMG VL ULEH haha but really my neighbour has had about 35 cars over the last 6-7 years..the amount of vl's i saw lined infront of my house it was like a ct cruise lol autosalon played a major part too hence rajab dynos and bresciani's too...but most of all chapz + bell st maccas did it lol

The thing that got me hooked was my neighbours boyfriend had a dark blue sl with a to4s hanging off the side of the engine used to launch up the road every day with a massive scream to it, then I finally hit him up for a ride and didnt think much of it untill it got to about 3500rpm+ & and all that was behind the car was smoke and a hell of a lot of tread

about 3-4 yrs ago went on a holiday with some frends up to newcastle, and one of the cars that came up with us was a berlina sl turbo pushin 312kw @ the wheels. after going for a drive in that i have always loved them. and afew of the vlt's ive seen around ONABAR, AIRGMH, XCEPTR, PSIWPN are jus some of the cars that always leave me in a puddle of drool. here's a pic of the sl turbo Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

The VL is the best car in many ways, it looks cool, it drives hard and its cheap and its fully sick

VL's are "da oooOOOOoooooootzzzzzzZ bro" hahaa na they just a mad looking model of car...cheap thrillz and exprensive bills...but in the end a well built car

Around the start of july this year, i was doing work experience through school, and i was on a job at the kellyville ridge/rouse hill maccas, across from the ettamogah pub. anyway we were on the roof wiring up some **** that they just had installed, big air con units (was doin work experince as a sparky, anyone wana give me an apprenticeship!?) and it was raining, so we kinda put it on hold and sat under some tarps til the worst of it was over, which was when i first caught sight of this immac red (from memory) over silver calais dosing and skating its head off up the road past the maccas. i then realised i had creamed my pants, and i had fallen in love! a few minutes later he came down and parked in the maccas and got something to eat, i sat up there for like half an hour listening so intently just waiting for him to dose his way out or the car park!!! so anyway as soon as i got home i started doing some research and eventually found this forum, fell even further in love and eventually bought an nice little unroadworthy 86 berlina that im currently fixing up! If the guy who owns that car is on the forum, if love to know who it is!

the genetics in my macedonian blood. i hit 17 and automatically i just wanted a VL. But having a dad who has had a fully worked VK BT1 and LH SLR5000 (and an na VL sl) it had to be a 5L. So just before my 20th i found my beast forked out my cash and couldnt be happier.

My 2 older brothers both had 5 speed n/a's - so it was in the family. Bought my first maranello red 5 speed N/A for a few years - then couldnt take it any more and started buying up bits to convert. Got to much of a good offer on a VLCT for sale in ballarat - so i bought it and put all the new gear i bought into it - and been driving a VLCT daily ever since. As above - cheap thrills - expensive bills.

my mate owned a calais turbs wen i was 14 his brother built it an he purchased it off him was a 12 second calais turbs he took me for a strap in it one day on the stallie at a set of lights an jus mashed 1st 2nd 3rd an we were doing a 180 clicks before i knew it an not been able to move my head of the back od the seat i sed **** yer i will own this car one day 3 years later i bought it off him was my first calais turbs =] have a owned a fair few now love them best car ever made hands down will never own anything else haha

needed a car just got my p's and a mate was selling a vl exectutive turbo wagon i baught it thinking it was just a wagon man was i surprized now on my 7th vl 4th vlt i dont wanna own anything ealse

Follwed the croud and baught a vl because i was told it was cooler than a vk which i orginally liked more, since owning my first maranello red vl i feel in love with them and now cant see how i liked vk's. Parents baught my first one, i crashed it wrote it off, Baught a gold vl berlina turbo, blew the motor, got a white vl wagon cheap to get around in, sold it for double what i paid. Now i have a car that i could have only dreamed about exterior wise and slowely turning it into a perfect ride I think if my car was stolen or i crash it etc, i would be lost in life lol, how sad. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i always had a thing for vns... i kno.. weird huh.. i still like a nice vn ss etc tho.. as i got older i noticed more and more vls around the are... and i had learnt wat a dose is lol.... then my mate got a worked na vl that did awsome burnouts... (for an na)... my mate from work just happened to be selling a na vl at the time and i bought it ... now on my 2nd vl converting to turbo next yr Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

fullboost.com.au, thats what got me into vl's, all those videos from easternats and calder in the late 90's got me hooked and also watching them in real life belting down the straight at sandown and racing at calder, especially UWANIT, the easternats video of that car screaming down the straight is still my all time favorite

got a link to that easternats vid?

so cheap, so fun!!!!

i used to say to my ex gf im getn a yellow vl jus to piss her off cause she hated them so much not thinking i would ever buy one as i wasnt a fan. But the day came wen i had a 5k budget and i found my sexy calais 88 s2 white over silver.. the look on my gf's (ex) when i brought it home lol priceless no wonder she left me lol meh id rather the calais anyway doesnt talk bak to me plus it goes harder lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

^^lol i wanted a vl since i was about 14. Everyday after school i would see a white n/a calais dumped at the rear sitting on polished calais rims pass bye as the guy who was driving it would pick up his little bro from the back of the school. Im still on my first vl but cant imagine driving anything else.
