Today, walking out the shop, parked beside me was a mint bone stock 5L vp commodore executive. Judging by the old bloke getting out of it and the disabled permit, it might be a 1 owner car.

I might have mentioned it earlier, but I still drive around in my mum's '88 626.
I often play' spot an older car on the road or in the car park' In Canberra I win most of the time.

Have not seen an XC GXL V8 in years...
A few ratty XC sixes around online for sale... Imagine owning a six cylinder XC... Lol. I bet I could moonwalk frontways faster than those things reach 100km/h. |
