My first car was a XD S pac 250 crossflow 4 spd manual, i loved that car, wish i still had it but uptraded for a EA lol which suprisingly I never had any problems with...

My first love - the 87 Telstar I bought for $3000 in 1997 off the oldies. They bought it from McInerny Fraud in Morley ex Demo when I was 7.

TX3 rims courtesy of my mate Clint.

Traded it in at Skippers Dec 2000 to buy my first EL.

Danc666 that is such a nice car, looks very straight good job

She was a very tidy vl,
then this bloody tree decided to run out in front of me and it was then end of an era....



:'(


Did you notice we even HAVE grass over there and it is green not brown...

This is my first car. 97 Ford Fairmont. I dumped it with KYB shockies and Kingsprings. Put 17" csa rims on it. Dark tint, Pacemaker exreactors with 2.5" lucky exhaust with only 1 small muffler and no resonators at all. Was the loudest 6 i have ever heard and havent herd one come even close yet.. Got it done by MCE in mindarie. Sounded like a 6 cyl supercar if you can imagine it. Lucky no cops pulled me over for it. You couldnt talk in the cab because the droning was so loud. Got the head shaved 80 thou, Stage 3 crow cam, Crow tappets and springs, got that done by HiFlow engines in balcatta, Unichipped by Westate racing in osbourn park, Blew the auto gear box up so spent $3,000 rebuilding it. Full race setup with racing bands and so on. Done by Precise Autamatics also in osbourn park. Under bonnet bling. All this for an old mans fairmont . Didn't get to take it to the drags or on a dino befor I sold it. Oh went to the drags with just exhaust and run a best of 14.9 which is not bad.

Sorry dont have any good pics and photobucket is not working.

And another pick.

And another one sorry guys.
I had a pioneer deck with pioneer speakers. Kicker amp and Kicker L5 Solobarick Sub. I have still got the amp and sub now in the Lionhuntr.

geezus milan, that tree made short work of the commo hey...looked pretty decent tho (before the crash haha)




for a commodore anyway

yeah not bad for a VL, Otis.

You manage to keep the plates at all mate?

Yeah still got the plates, they are sitting in the back of the cruiser:D

Haha thats the VL that got chopped by a 4cyl Tarago

and your point is.... old single cam 3ltr that is stock standard (pushing out around 90kw) vs a 2.4litre DOHC with VVT (pushing 125kw) .......i would back the tarago anyday...
