Hey now come on that's just showing off. A gorgeous SD, a Porsche, an i-Phone, a stunning Alpine head unit and it looks like you've been round the Ring. Please don't tell me there's a gorgeous model blonde in the passenger seat.

Mind you I'm totally loving your style sir

Yeah we get this.



The Vauxhall VXR8. Mind you not sure how much its watered down, since it produces 430BHP and 405 lbs/ft of torque from a 6.2 litre V8 motor that takes it to 60mph in 4.9 seconds

It's a six litre. You lot miss out on the magnetic suspension and (I think) the 20" wheels. Have a look at hsv.com.au

What an absolutely stunning design.

You folks have some mightily fine rides, especially the Bimmers and Porsches.

Wish I had a take home cruiser. At least I don't have to share it with anybody. I'm getting a brand new one in about a month. She has about 85,000 on her and the A/C just went south last Tuesday.

Two of my favourite things. You can't powerslide a Rolex. But OTOH, it might get you a test drive in something you can!

To directioneng & problmchylde, why are your steering wheels on the wrong side? Was there a problem at the factory?

So,

Here are some wheel shots of my GMT IIc,

Apologies fro the poor shots, it is my first attempt at photographing it, and as i mentioned on a previous post, its harder than i thought.



I hope they dont dissapoint too much.
