this is my second car, the ss is stayin in the shed untill sold, (26g ono).

yes bombi i have a few little vids on you tube lol, hope to get it on a dyno 1 day so u can all have a listen to it open up :)

its my daily driver to be so to speak and i can take my dogs around to parks and beaches without wrecking the ss. 2 rottie x mastiffs arent exactly little :)

looking at FI for it atm, i hear theres a turbo kit in the winds, should give it a nice kick in the bum :)

heres a pic of my passengers, taj (big 1) and axle the new puppy

a quick update on the ute guys, got a alpine dvd player yesterday, the IVA - W200. its a double din setup touch screen , which is good so i dont have the screen covering the air con switches like the single din with the pop out screen would.

the price for the W200E is 1899 , i ended up getting the W200ri, (ipod interface and a few other goodies) for a measily 1490 (much argueing and a sligh fib telling him that the other store in brissie will do it for me at that price :up2sum:
