Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
Wow that's a pretty sweet looking Calais, really like the white ones.
On your situation seeing as its a turbo..... Drive it as much as u can, because once it's time to get ur Ps, either remove the turbo set up (never seen it done before) or keep it as a project car until u get ur full license.
Oh, an get the turbo badge off the boot, there's already one on the garnish

Thanks mate!
Yeah white and maroon is the best Calais colors imo
I know its sucks :/ I will probably cruise around on weekends and on cruises and get rid of the turbo badge and just not flutter and dose it...
Will be hard to loose the Turbo as i cant get the smile of my face when it doses hehe
I also have the GTS-R as a cruiser,
But i will be getting a good cheap daily as all my cars are too good as a everyday car!
Yeah that's the first thing i done is move the badges and put a silver one on!
Cheers
Travis,

1st time at harry's today...
Went there the Calais couldn't get locked up so dad minded it i went for a look around then he had a look around. It was a great turn out we were only there for 1 hour next time we will be there longer when we can lock it..
On the way home car was driving great then 10 mins from home it just stalled on the main road at the traffic lights so we push the car check for spark there is none so we will have to fix it then we got it towed home,
Not a very good day at all.. Pics tommorow!
