For those that couldn't make it to Kumeu - you missed out! I went Saturday when it was absoulutely roasting! Awesome days entertainment for $10.
I've uploaded a dump load of pics here: (dial up beware - over 120 pics!)

Only scratched the surface of the cars that were there, and its slightly biased towards GM metal! But hey, who isn't?! There is also a few VL pics at the start.
Check out the taillights on this Walky rep:

the car with the funny tail lights has the most amazing boot install ive ever seen. but the dash is slaughtered if you got a chance to look at that.

I was in Dunedin for a funeral so no car show for me
Phill needs to lower the front a little more

24-01-08, 15:14 GMT+10#15 Those tail lights aren't something that I'd do, but all things considered they look quite good (the job looks pretty well done, most mods like that look so so bad). I think it'd look better with Berlina trim though.. but I think all Berlina rears look better

Really a pity that it happened to her but i did warn her that it was pretty easy to spin a wheel or two. Yeah I know Karl really well he said to me that he did the article for your car.
Dont worry guys the new project is going well but slow over christmas hope to have it on the road for the end of 2008, keep up the vls as its good to see a following, cheers to you all Kris
