VB or XXXX? Should only take a slab before the seppos turn to root rats and the joeys are running for cover.

You seem to know too much about my plan

How can this be?

A good friend used to live in Oz 6 months out of the year (drag racing season) for seven years and goes back for Christmas holiday every year. He also introduced me to a mate that lives in Shepparton who stayed at my place 10 years ago when traveling through and we stay in touch. I absolutely love your slang and attitude about life in general.

Well got home on the weekend, still having trouble getting back to "normal" sleep pattern.

Had a ball while in USA. Great to meet a few guys from here.

I'll definitely be back to Austin for the V8s, great town, great people.

San Antonio was cool and New Orleans was down right awesome (glad I didn't act my age )

Wrapped up trip, with visit to Detroit Speed, many thanks to Dan at DSE who spent a good couple of hours showing me around and got the chance to say hi to Kyle & Stacey.

I'm glad you made it home safe, enjoyed meeting you. Hope to see you soon!

SW

BTW, when do you want your car shipped?

^^ Roger, is this thing above faster than what you got back home? I might bet on it if it's been in SW's speed shop?

Cheers mate... hope we can share beers and laughs again sometime.

As soon as SW gets some 44" Forgelines for it, we are good to go, already right hand drive

Got a deposit on a new daily, auto in red. http://www.hsv.com.au/Gen-F/see/GTS/



Same engine as ZL1 Camaro

Mate, I look forward to our next beer, cheers

You guys in US are getting the SS version, in Redline specification I believe, hence the lack of options.

US version has 6.2 litre LS3, Aust version has 6.0
