Default Welcome !

I just saw your post and used to come to Oz every other month when I worked for BHP. The first LS1 holden I rode in was way before I got my ls1 motor. I was in Canberra and got picked up at the airport ... that car amazed me as I now have a LS1 but the holden I was in sold me on the LS1. I would hire (thats rent for us) an EVO and roll down GOR and hang around Torqey .. great car people in OZ! Melbourne is pretty unique for us US folks to drive .. I could hang with the otherside of the road thing but turning LEFT in the CBD was an art to be learned!

Here is something else I was entertained by Fairlanes like our old el caminos and that bad *** car you have also can be seen with cops in em !!

Hey scotty,
Great job on the supercharger mate.
Ive seen and heard this car in the real and its a real weapon on the street.
Sounds awsome but on the same note subtle enough not to be noticed by the boys in blue ( cops here in AU).
Under WOT she has power on tap.
Top ride mate
Cheers,
Andy.
