Very nice, but i cant understand anyone paying $80k or more for a dressed up bommodore that will be worth $20k in a few years time !!!

Nice car , not really a project as such should have been placed in the general section IMO .

Very nice car. :clap:

The only thing I would change are the wheels. Don't really like the design but that's only a minor issue.

I actually think the wheels on them are pretty interesting and tasteful compared to most of the crap that they come up with. Looks good, nice bright colour and six speed. Ooooo that must go like shit off a shovel! Would be great to drive

Now that you mention it... neither have I, but I like the way it sounds. Maybe it infers that you're kinda using a trebuchet movement with the shovel and aiming it at your worse enemy. That could go pretty quickly. Might have to be hard shit though?
