My Gen Walky, My dads old Prem, and my old 1965 Fairlane. ---------- Post added 11-09-11 at 20:42 ---------- Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Cool photo's mate.

Sweet pics Craig...Do you know if the Calais is still around? Carjam says it was last warranted in 2008...

awsome man

Your old walky was a minta. Do you know where it is these days?

Thanks guys, I sold my Walky to a guy in Puke without my FR18's which I also sold, He had it for a few years put FR19's on it and sold to a guy down in Cambridge, I believe it is still down there. As for my old VL Turbo I sold it to a guy in Palmy, I never saw or heard about the car from there on, The guy that brought it seemed ok but dont have a clue where it got too. I found it in Welly when I was on a road trip in 2003 got it for 7K was very tidy and went very well, I took it to Invercargill and around the south island when I was down there in 2004. Because I lived on a gravel rd in chch I brought the Marron VL in the photo with the bull as my daily was a 2L 5 speed, The photo with the cover over the front of the turbo was how she lay for about 9 months just sitting there.

Hahaha calf feeder next to the VL turbo that's real familiar Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

was just thinking that vlct is in ashbuton on the main road, thats when me and brother had his berlina out doing skids in the snow around town nice pics Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeah 2004 was a good year for me just loved looking at them, but all good things come to an end, had to sell to fund my house which is nearly paid off now, then I will be buying up again, I want to get a B&H VH SS and get a Gen XY GT. Then I will look at getting another walky again

Some nice pics there dude, a very enviable collection. The Walkie on Simmons is perfect, musta been a hard decision to sell. The GTS was a minta, tidier than mine was before the rebuild. The rego on mine was NP7520 so they must have been regeod around the same time.

Yeah the GTS was a real minta alright and a real cool car at 17 to have remember it was the late 90's so still fairly modern then, It was a regular at the drags in AKL and was a fast car too, did a 12.9 in it in 1999 had 4:11 gears and running high boost I ended up melting the engine after two years, it sat in my shed for years with no engine then sold it to a mate its still around is purple now was on TM not so long ago. Man I wish I could turn back the clock the good old days nothing else mattered.
