Yep... it's another newbie and his car (HSV GTO Coupe)
 
Haven't got any pix available at the moment (except the avatar), but I currently drive a 2002 HSV GTO Coupe. A red version of the car was reviewed on Top Gear last year and has a vid linked to from the video forum (although I think the link calls it a Holden Monaro - the name of the stock version).

Lots of fun with plenty of torque & power for a daily drive... can't wait until the Coupe4 (4wd) version comes out in a few months though...

Wooohooo..Another Holden Fan :)
My old man own a Torana GTR LJ with Yella Terra Heads and Holley carby and other mods(he doesn't tell me,I don't know why and then he sold it,and got an Austin 1800 :shock: )..My cousin owns a VL HDT Group A.Me, I used to own a Holden Barina.Then I killed it...I own nothing at the moment..Looking at couple of cars,I like the Silvia but its bit out of my budget :cry: so I have no wheels.

There will be some pics up in the next day or so of the GTO, might even chuck in some pics of my other car - an LH Torana, SLR5000 body kit, worked 308, etc... it needs some work now so I'm thinking of going nuts on it and turning it into something really wild... time & money permitting... mainly money :)

I guess that's what you get for using a free hosting service :(

I'll move them to a decent server when I get a chance, in the mean time try visiting http://fire.prohosting.com/gto625.

The SS image is my old ride, the one called ChrisVK is a mates wild VK Commodore... the rest, well, you'll figure it out :wink:

One of the most beautiful cars around. And by the look on Clarksons face it must be jolly good fun to drive. Has any of your friends got the SSX model ??

gto625 02-05-2004 03:46 AM

As far as I know the SSX was just a concept hatch based on the 4-door commodore sedan... pretty cool, but I don't think it's ever gonna be built.

Oh, and yes, the GTO is awesome to drive! Mine is an automatic (the 6-speed manual is a bit of a bitch for a daily driver) so I can't quite hang it out as well as Clarkson does... not quite... :D

That's a shame because the concept car looked very promising:(
