Mums. Dad has his WB one tonner which he is fixing up, and mum drives dads monaro whenever she needs too. The calais is only the alloytech V6, but still has 190kw. But I still miss the Torana :(

I've had a fair few daily's in the past few months. 02 Hilux, CB Lancer, RN85 Hilux. I got rid of normal daily drivers so I would have to drive the Torry.

RN85 Hilux

My LJ is my daily driver right now but when the little Torry is PMS-ing I get around on this...

The scooter is a VMoto Monza that's been modified to go "fast". Giannelli expansion chamber, no cat, stainless muffler, re-jetted carb, cold air intake, Malossi gearbox variator (no speed restrictor) and fully adjustable rear shock. And yes I bought it like this. I swear.

This is my everyday drive, VX supercharged 6 S pack. My old man purchased it new as his work car. He looked after it unlike other work cars as he owned the business. He then sold it to me and now it is my second pride and joy. I have raised the boost to 10psi and various other minor mods. Have big plans but at the moment I am happy with a reasonably quick/reliable everydayer.

Mine is a 6 cyl VP Commodore bought off of a forum member. Its tired but has been and hopefully will remain to be a good daily.



Its the white car for those who may be unsure.

Please ignore second photo, was a mistake.

I use a 72 HQ Kingswood to drive to and from work and around town. When we're driving between the coast and Bathurst the XR6 Turbo gets a run.
