I don't even want to think about that! hehe! :p:rolleyes:

it was a long and tough decision to buy this thing.. I have always been very fond of the Commodore's having owned many over the years and seeing this will be the final Aussie built model before an unknown future, I though what better excuse to actually own one!

Its like buying a piece of history! Kinda makes it that bit more special!

There was also the option of a HSV Clubsport or even a GTS! but they are considerably more expensive and im not particularly keen on their body kit styling.. some look rather tacky and over styled screaming boy racer! And they are super expensive to insure!

To me the SS is far more a handsome toned down style that still looks sporty enough. It also has pretty much everything that I could ever need as they are actually very well featured!

Cant wait to take the wheel tomorrow and drive the thing home! :)

Mount the Monster on the hood. :D

then it'll be a monster'd monster! :p:lol: a great idea though! will do! :D

Don't wrap it around a tree mate!!! :D:lol::blink:

I'll definitely try not to! speaking of which.. this is what happened when happily cruising along our local country roads and a Kangaroo (and a good sized one) jumped out in front of me back on boxing day 2005.. they say its better to just hit them rather than swerve but my natural reflex response was to try avoid him, I got the left side tires off the side of the road and the car just drifted away from me.. bang smack head on into a power pole. The car was an instant write off but I only sustained minor injuries. A few broken ribs, dislocated left knee cap when it hit the dashboard, and a scar on my forehead when my head hit the steering wheel (momo race, no airbag). This is a 1995 model VS Commodore. It stood up to the crash quite well actually! Considering I hit the pole at 40mph+ by the time some speed washed off.. ohh and I did actually clip the Roo too! there was a chunk of brown fur on the right front guard!

Oooh. Sweet ride indeed. :wub: And it comes in white too. Time to apply Roy's 1S decal now, Spanner. B))

I'd receive those yesterday! VF-1A Angel Birds v.2 1/60 and VF-1A Hikaru DYRL v.2 1/60 with Super&Strike parts! Very lucky to get the Angel Birds at reasonable price!

Wow! How much reasonable is reasonable for Angel Birds? ;)

My newest addition! VF-2SS SAP ARMOR!

Nice! I know. I know. But It's still looks nice. ^_^ Atleast it's good to know that stands are included in the separate SAP release. Hope I can get mine today EOD at work. Based on tracking it's already been picked up by our mail guy and it's already in the mail distribution center. If not, then I will see those on Monday when I get back. :D

I know right! how cool would some vinyl look on it! I cant remember where I saw it but there was this guy who put some vinyls on his Subaru and it looked kinda cool! B))

Spanner was a trade, I gave him a brand new MP Transformers Shockwave Takara and he gave me the VF-1A Angel birds v.2 1/60

Wow! That's a bargain I might say. Congrats! ;)

Take a pick, Spanner. ^_^ :wub:
