My Aussie car

[dingo]

This is my 1989 HSV SV3800 Commodore, nothing too special but its good enough for a student. For the non-Australians in here, HSV (Holden Special Vehicles) is a tuning company that modifies factory Holdens.
Its a 3.8L V6 with about 200hp, so its not fast enough for me and therefore I will hopefully get a newer model Commodore with a LS1 by the end of the year (if my investments turn out as planned).

Custom shot:

Big V6 you have there my poor straight 6 barely reach 2000 cc LMAO yours is almost 4000 cool

Will add to the registry now

Thanks TT, they make big V6's here....my dad's Ford is a 4L inline 6.
BTW, if any of those shots are suitable I'd like to have it used in a future PS contest.

If you could take one from the same angle as the second one, but with the car maybe pointing toward you and the sun behind you or to the left, it would be nice (and you could send it to me in 1600x1200 res )

Well the body is an Opel / Vauxhall one so yes, someway GM related I'd say

[TT]

Also known as Opel Vectra in the rest of Europe but I was thinking it could be the bigger sister, Omega in Switzerland...

actually yes it does look more liek an omega now i looked at it longer.

but was the cavalier actually always called the vectra in the rest of europe? i know the vectra took over the cavalier here

LOL.....didn't know that the concept of a ute had made its way to Brazil.
If I were to buy a ute this is the one I'd get:



TT, I'll take that pic sometime this weekend and send it to you.
As for the Opel comparisons I have no idea what its based on. [/img]

The rear kinda reminded me of a Lotus Carlton...interesting car indeed.

Well danny the Vectra, as the Corsa, was always called like that, while in UK you finally switched to the "correct" names just some time ago same goes for the Carlton/Omega
