Some great shots in there, it's interesting to see how people have updated their cars since last monght

If I don't have enough would you be willing to have some photos up on the Vic Club page?

Not me,although I wonder how I would approach the shoot,probably get a bit edgey and out there a bit more of aspects of the cars that catch my eye. Nice day to shoot though.the atmosphere was captured I would say.

Vee_Que

Nope, Heino's is different to that one. It is owned by someone who has had it many years? I think was the story and has come back to the club after not being a member.

Noooo worries Lad , i had to upgrade me IMGUR account to PRO but that also gives me more functions so please shoot any pics to me in future so we make use of the subscription.

I will also take the offer of $10 for my V70 and give you $50 for the Renault Hatch if you RWC it for me.

Please consider?

Ohh , the engine crane Mark?

See you fuckers later , i have been summoned to the hospital , they been talking behind my back and dont like the shit thats goin on so am packing my bags in case i have another stay in ward 7.

Good looking C70.
Interesting how colours date - a few years ago, I've have loved a saffron one over anything that remotely resembles burgundy.
Yet, in that pic, the maroon/burgundy coloured car appears much more 'current' than the saffron one beside it.

Also of interest, and only my opinion, is how good the 18" BBS made 'Triton' wheel looks on a C70 and yet an 18" wheel on an 850 or S70/V70 looks too big and clumsy.

It's SO much easier to 'get what you're given' when you buy a used car than it is to actually choose.
2nd hand, I'd consider most unless its red.

The last new car I had to choose was my VE SV6 that I had as a company car back in 2009-2011.
I went with 'Karma' - like a dark metallic blue.

I'm debating 'Winter White' vs ' Lightening Strike' (Silver) vs 'Petroleum' (dark metaliic grey that changes slightly in the light) at the moment but only have to make a decision a little after the end of the fin year. I have some time.
Since I'll have to keep it for a while, I need to be sure it wont date and I wont get tired of it.

A S/H Mary Kay car for you Ash.

irishbastard

This is my car, it cleaned up awesome, and i didn't even have to polish it, i just washed it and stuck some tire shine on the wheels :D

ooh lovely!
Dunno how well they'd tow.

If I buy 2nd hand (which I dont think I will), it'll likely be a late VE SS, probably a sedan because of good price point second hand vs the ute or wagon.
Though, if I do less (or maybe none) of my own racing, it's possible I'll find myself with a small car again.

Requirement/desire for big six or 8 and RWD is simply due to towing long distances.

Vee_Que

Manual SS redline? Then you can just stick a big cam in it and enjoy instead of having to remove Cylinder deactivation?

Found the two photos of my car, it definitely isn't a show car, front looks better from a distance with it's minor paint defects...

AshDVS

No requirement or need for a big cam (though it would be nice). I just need stock, reliable and, assuming I'm still towing lots o stuff, enough go to pass stuff on the hume easily (or similar) with the trailer on the back.

Preference is auto over manual. The lady doesnt have a 'proper' license and auto will tow nicer.
