if u are going to the extreme horsepower show this weekend, be sure to check out my mates red hdt vl nitron turbo, which will be there. took him a fair while to build and spray. is a very fine example of alot of work going into 1 car. it looks awesome. he's done an excellent job on it. ill try and get some photos up of it after the weekend for those of u who couldnt make it.

Yeah I saw that too, it was basically next to the nitron. I thought it was pretty good, though my only pick was the wheels -> they needed to be bigger to suit the bigger/lower body kit. Was good as the owner was taking pics with some models on/in his car while we were there looking at it. Hmmm, models... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeah, take it from me. SA people have nothing to worrie about compared to vic's. The squad from Melbourne are real A-Holes when they come up to the country towns ( like Mildura ), they defect anything and everything they can. I have been pulled over 2 time now for going too fast and drifting and got off with a warning both times ( they had no speed camera to catch my speed, though it was ovious that I was going to fast ). I still have my vic number plates on my vl and they always ask me about that. If I was caught doing that in vic I would proberly have no licence left and my car would be defected for sure. Anyway, he should go at least 18's or 19's. 19's would suit it the best. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

They told me to change my rego over to SA, but I tell them that my official permant residence is in Mildura, Vic (which is true) and that I'm only over here part of the year studying. I have actually asked about this and they say that your car should be registed where your permant residence is, and since I live in Vic for more than 1/2 the year, then that is my permant residence. As for the guy with the nsx and vic rego, maybe he is allowd to keep is plates as they are personallised. Or maybe he has been told to change them, but he hasn't. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
