I hate holdens but the SS looks better every year.
Style is an individual thing and we don't all think the same.

Question Re: XR8, a hypothetical

Because I am not bias and appreciate a good car.

I have had many modified Holdens and when driving responsibly one still seems to attract allot more attention than the Ford I noticed.

We bought a BA wagon as a family car and I really liked it so thought the added turbo on top would provide a car that's fast yet off the radar allot more so to speak....haven't looked back.

Why are you so interested in dissecting peoples responses/lives to try and show apparent flaws etc?

I also have a EL with AU XR6 motor conversion as this car as a second vehicle really suits my needs.

Honestly,being non bias is really great and makes things so much less stressful on ones self.

Thankyou for the instant put down upon quote....seems to be a habbit to be honest.
Attack.....justify and then paint your picture which is the only view for one to have!

What you don't like it when you have what you do thrown straight back at you?

Well after reviewing the whole thread it appears to have gone round in circles several times and is devolving so I will close it now.

If anyone has any new information on the actual topic that is not something to do with the run out price of holdens of just slanging PM me and I will re-open it.
