Good! sell them and buy second hand ones you like.. doubt you'd lose any money.

by **KR1STO** » August 15th, 2010, 9:19 pm

What's the budget Ev...?

by **jazza312** » August 15th, 2010, 9:34 pm

by **LOW_XR** » August 15th, 2010, 9:36 pm

fuk you got an excuse for every car dude. you will never find one the way you going. :lol:

also try tassie aswell. cheap to bring a car back :drinks2:

by **Kenaz** » August 15th, 2010, 10:01 pm

Does it have to be another coon? Why not something like this?

It would be as quick as a AU XR8 and infinitely better and more classy :good:

Think outside the square..

by **ClassicAU** » August 16th, 2010, 8:16 am

Shit Kenaz, does that thing come with a tub of hair gel and a years supply of steroids?! That car is a lot of things but classy, my friend, it is not!

Budget I would say is $15k max on road, so including insurance and rego.

by **Kenaz** » August 16th, 2010, 1:32 pm

I only meant that it has more class than a Falcon :-P

by **ClassicAU** » August 16th, 2010, 1:50 pm

Maybe, I don't think so though. If I was to look at a non-Falcon though, it would be something like a Subaru Liberty B4. I do like those cars, but it may be a tad too small.

thats alright bit of a drive but worth it imo.
cheers josh.

by **ClassicAU** » August 16th, 2010, 9:27 pm

Thanks Josh, but as you said, bit of a drive. Plus its been converted to manual. I wouldnt mind owning a car thats actually factory manual this time!!

Close enough I say.....

by **bentls** » August 17th, 2010, 7:41 am

ur serious retarded ev... seriously.

by **ClassicAU** » August 17th, 2010, 8:21 am

What the hell man, why all the hate? How is not wanting a car that has been hacked to be something its not a retarded decision? I am onto my second manual conversion now, and I would have thought it was an obvious choice to go factory fitted goodness instead!

by **t1MMy** » August 17th, 2010, 1:29 pm

You only live once Ev.

Buy a Copen and live it up!!!

if you can pick the difference between factory manual and converted manual then i applaud you...
either that or whoever has been doing the work for you is a hack...

might aswell buy a kia rio, fits in your price range and is brand new... and probly about as quick as a au xr8 too

by **EBOOST** » August 17th, 2010, 8:42 pm

so much au hate going on these days is noone alowed personal oppinion???
i do agree with the factory/converted to manual comment though.
only difference i see really is converted will have a newer clutch lol.
the little 220 windsor isnt no ls1 or anything but for a baby 5l i recon they do alright with some mods.
cheers josh.

by **bentls** » August 18th, 2010, 7:14 am

dylans ute had the best of the 5litres with a few little mods and was still gayer than aids
im not hating on au's im just saying the way evs a whiney little bitch in this thread makes me think hes retarded

by **ClassicAU** » August 18th, 2010, 8:17 am

Your mum Bentley!

Anyways, as it just so happens, a recent development as just come to light that may put an end to all this! I won't say too much, because there is only a slight chance it might happen at this point, but its looking promising so far! Did someone say 6.0L manual wagon?!? :cool:

by **t1MMy** » August 18th, 2010, 8:45 am

Now I agree with Bentley. Your mentioning a 6.0L manual wagon, but you knocked back the XR turbo?....

by **ClassicAU** » August 18th, 2010, 8:51 am

You do raise a good point Tim, and I am a little worried about that to be honest. I haven’t driven a stock 6.0L, only a HSV. Although on paper the SS still seems just as scary as a BF XR6T. Unfortunately this deal is limited to Holden only, and they don’t offer anything in between an SS and the poxy V6. I think I might drive one and see how it feels, I am just hoping that being an NA the SS will be less brutal!

by **EFFalcon** » August 18th, 2010, 9:02 am

You'll shit a lemon in a 6.0l Manual SS.

Just saying..

by **LOW_XR** » August 18th, 2010, 6:54 pm

what ever you get , for the love of god DO NOT MODIFY it!!!!!!

by **ClassicAU** » August 19th, 2010, 12:33 pm

LOL!! I love that Video! I think I would need a case of Red Bull to get that going though!!

Bah, I care not if I get the shit hung on me, comes with the territory. The only reason this Commodore thing came up is because I have been offered a staff discount through my best mate. If it happens or not is still to be decided, as I don’t know if it is worth it. It couldn’t be modified even if I wanted to anyway, as it will be under warranty. If not then I will be going back to my original idea of getting a manual Windsor.
I might go an drive a few SS’s this weekend to see what they are like anyway. Kest is probably right though, it will most likely end in pants shitting as per the turbo.

by **stevo** » August 19th, 2010, 1:07 pm

If you go and test drive a SS you wont be buying a windsor! Trust me!

by **NUT347** » August 19th, 2010, 1:25 pm

Did you just say you took a stock XR6T for a drive and shit yourself??

WTF?
