I'd love a set, but they would be around $1500 for a set of 4, aren't they?

Chop,these were fantastic to use,they are the Blue Point Ones(snap on),i asked the photographer yesterday what they were worth and he said he thought they were about $650 each,really nice quality ones........There are some cheaper sets around though....But i suppose you get what you pay for..........Mick really enjoyed pushing the cars around i think he is a frustrated magazine photographer.LOL.

HI fAIRDINKUM,
I MUST SAY YOU ARE A LUCKY TORANA OWNER.

Stop yelling at us all Paul. If it's such a good car, why did you let it go?

Mick i think Paul is just excited.lol........Now come on mick,,,,,,,we all sell things we regret,i know i have, not just once but a few hundred times,,,,,,,i am sure if paul sold the janson / perkins car first,,,,,,,,there is no way in this world i would own this car(this is his favourite A9X he has ever owned).....maybe you should ask the bloke you bought your car from if he regrets selling it to you,,i am sure he would say YES.
Cheers Mick

I forgot Paul also went by the name of "Big Kev" lol. Yes we have all done it, but I would have thought a guy who loved them so much and had so many pass through his hands over the years would hang onto one of them? PS, the shots in the magazine look great. Those wheels look good too.....hehehe

i found an original owner bluey for sale here for $14,000- in '97 had the cash to go and get it and my father would not let me buy it because on my p's i was not to drive a v8. i refused to speak to him for 6 months and now i give him shit as much as possible because he has just realised THAT I SHOULDA BROUGHT IT!!!
I still see it driving around now and it makes me feel better cause i know she has been well looked after and the condition has not changed at all, but shit that was a bargain.

Hi Red
Geez I've been called lots of things but BIG KEV thats a new one.
Pity I still think he's a bit of a legend, Imagine if I had all the money he invested in V8 supercars at the time, forget 10 A9x's try a 100, these would include all the ones I couldn't afford at the time and with all those great colours WOW.
OOps for a moment then I felt like BIG KEV I'M EXCITED.

Are we talking about the A9X in Wheels here, or am I way off?

Looks bloody good, I must say.
