Forgive me i have sinned

... i now wear flano shirts, smoke winfield reds, am growing a mullet and changed my girlfriends name to shazza ... yes thats right ... i have joined the tyre smoking petrol guzzling world of commodore owners (hi greg!) I picked up this hectic beast on the weekend (mate was selling it at the right price)






she is a 2001 one model s ute (s for SSIIIIKK / do a SSSSkiidd) with just over 100 000ks on the clock. its pretty much standard apart from the clubsport wheels, i already ripped the nudge bar off but i think the sports bar can stay for the moment. this will just be my daily / work ute while i pretty up the astina (dont despair - its not going anywhere!) and ill probably leave it exactly as it is apart from lowering it and giving it a bit of a stereo. so there you go ... call me dazza and hand me a VB!

yeah it was lukes ute ... i think he wanted something a bit more fun to drive and i needed something for work so the deal was meant to be i guess.

as for the astina ... there is a Microtec, oil cooler, intercooler, cams and cam gears all sitting in the garage that need installing. probably should paint the poor thing too ..
