Steve

Hmmm that looks yummie, I just want one

And ya got to love them XHP JETS

Hey with the t700, can ya use the old style shifter off the trimatics or do ya have to use the newer style off the t700's?

I didn't even think to check mine when it was out and couldn't be stuffed getting under for a look right now lol.

Also, wat had to be done for it to pass a regency inspection?

its just bad luv it

Now thats a very very very god dame nice neat and tidy VH SLE dont eva eva give her up thats a life keeper you have done very well ever tried to put it in street commodore mag

Think you have to use the T700 shifter Danny, or do what im about to do and shove a B&M Shifter in there (can see what gear your in then)
Pass an emissions test Danny and dont forget to install cats.

Got married in this car, so plenty of history there and the previous owner would rip my left one off if I got rid of it, so its a keeper

Was featured in Street Commodores #3

Steve

Come on Gav pull yourself together mate.....

Cliff give me a box of tissues and some baby oil and I will

LOL Very nice commie Steve but watch out this is what im aiming for just give me about another 10 or so years mate give or take

YAYA very nice ride Steve, I enjoyed my trip up to Birdwood and back in MUSLE1 for ALL COMMODORE DAY last year........

A couple of pics from its movie debut in the city. *note the WA plates*

Was going to be in a scene but ended up being to loud for the sound guys Not sure if they used it for any scenes, will have to wait for the edited movie to come out





Cheers

Steve

As some of you will know (those that were @ SMASA show n shine in the club display) that a photographer's card was left on the VH SLE So I followed it up with Rohan & Liam and I am very humbled in letting you all know that the VH SLE is booked for a feature in Street Commodore's magazine

Another goal achived from the bucket list

Have to fill in 6 A4 pages of info (write my own feature) and get some happy snaps taken shortly.

I'm off to polish the ol girl

Cheers

Steve

It has taken some time to get this done (magazine feature) but was well worth getting the car wet

Here's a couple of pics I snapped off with my phone (did'nt have alot of spare time) the chamios got a work out today





I have probally flooded the internet with this news But I am rather chuffed

Cheers

Steve

well done Millsy looking great

On ya Steve, looking schmick as always. Will be watching out for the mag.

Psssst tell em about this guy that's very experienced into rubbing !

well done dude on the ST Commie mag.w00t

Hey thanks you 3

As I promised here are three pics I have to decide on which one will be the wall poster shot.

It is amazing how well photos turn out by people who know what they are doing.

I have been assured the VH is in the next SMC issue due out in October 2010, in the meantime you 3 can enjoy these shots.








Steve n Sylvia

Top job Steve well doe looks killer..bet Gav is spewin now.what other pics from the shoot do ya have..

Must say Steve I like the top one best. The bottom one would have looked good if the SLE was parked in the drive behind it.

Have just been informed the editor of SMC has found the pics to dark considering the paint colour of the car, so here we go again (they like the story and the car) we have to organize a reshoot in Adelaide when the weather turns sunny

So it won't be featured in SMC October issue (if anyone cares, or for those three guys buying the mag to see it featured) it will be at a later date.

Sorry

Yeah thats a shame Steve but they are a wee bit dark. I suppose they want a brighter day so they can show all the dents and scratches in it HEY? LOL

hey steve
nice to see another 1st gen on here.
did you take those pictures or did someone else?
do you know what lens they used? cheers
Steve

Hey Steve

Chrome bumpers "Killa" hey

Sorry I have not been on this forum for some time (took me awhile to work out my log in), so to answer your question a "Street Machine Commodores" magazine photographer took those pics.

Cheers

Steve
