Nice looking VR, good buy I can't believe that other black one would go for $8900, looks a bit rough to me.

Nice work mate! That wasn't you in the silver VR I saw booting along Lane Cove Rd this morning on my maccas breakfast run was it?

[brendan_lfc]

Picked up the beast yet?
Guess you're going to have to learn how to drive manual now?

hahah @ manual (He might be homo but he can drive manual :p )

It got delivered today, so it's officially changed hands - The dude that sold it to us said the phone has been off the hook with callers all week, people offering more than their asking price ($9k) sight-unseen. Pretty happy with that one.

They ****ed up the listing, had it listed as something else and the day they changed it we found it, had a look and bought it - They were under the impression it'd been on the market for a week and no one had called about it... so Vr6's are still in huge demand, we just got lucky to get it at this price.

Brendan lost his license a while back I think he gets it back in a week or two

He should be prepared to lose it again

haha I spent most of the day driving it around with Brendan today - Jesus the vr6 is a fantastic engine. Probably more fun to play with than my tuned 1.8t

The noise once it gets over ~5000rpm is amazing - Feels like it's going to rip your head off.

I'm impressed.. fantastic buy that car was.

EDIT : Oh and yeah - The dash has markings for L/100, Oil temp etc - How do you get them to display? Or was that o/s only??

thanks mate its an unbelievable car, definitely by far the best car for under 10-15k. Certainly an upgrade from my old toyota corolla haha. It sounds unbelievable stock, I can only imagine what exhaust/cams/chip/im ****ed haha.

Yeah the only buttons i could see were the clock/odometer buttons.. cheers
