Hahahahaha ... going on experience ... Camiras were trouble-free if thrashed. It's the babied ones that had issues. I know this as I had one on P's ... abused from day one pretty much ... and it kept on going without issue. Ahhh memories of my first reverse-doughies on grass ... good times.

VZ SS ute with the 6.O L 6 speed manual.
I tried to get one when they came out in 2006 but the idiots only could get auto's and i was waiting for about 4 months and just gave up. I did like the VK SS Group A the blue one with the red motor years ago but they are to old now. 502 were made I don't know what the HDT VK SS Group A/Group3 is ? only 48 made but i know a dude in Maryborough back in about 1985 had some blue Group A, he owned the lamey bridge car yard, but i think it had a smaller exhaust on it than the dude who ran a pub in Maryborough at the same time, with one. as his was a weapon with a nice cam note big exhaust and the motor was red and it was factory stock std. |

Was one of the best car's he ever owned and was still going strong till the day he sold it, never had any major issues and I still see the car around town today. He is not and never has been a person to thrash his car's, a car to him is a reliable vehicle that get's him from A to B. |

I had a JB Camira with SLE wheels once as a work and was surprised that how good the thing actually drove.( bought s/h as a cheapie) like ,lets face it ,the thing leaked, had terminal rust ,and lets not talk about the interior fittings( though the front seats were pretty good )and the performance was leisurely at best. but to drive and ride?? just did not expect the competence from the market level that the Camira sold in

A new Opel. OK they are not a Holden, but Holden did pretend for a long time.

My 19 year old nephew has a lovely old EJ complete with grey ghost. I kinda enjoy going for a buzz in it every now and then...

A SSV Ute, of course it has the best mass produced V8 on the planet, so it is a bonus and a no-brainer choice.
Bench seat and flat alu, tray would have been nice, LPGi too |

Nice looking GTS!
I also think They look cool in yellow.  I like the odd colour combos.. I saw a new black and red FPV GT Rspec - fantastic! Last edited by Brazen; 30-09-2012 at 05:33 PM. |
