Aussie Pete

You can hear the starter motor cranking and we are so close to Having Ignition it's not funny. The baby arrives tomorrow - Friday afternoon 10 August. Will update when it happens (I have to make a fuss because XR8220 has beaten me by miles!)

A Ford engine having 1 more cube than a Chev engine - the more things change, the more they stay the same. :D

Well I would have got Red if they had it for the VT Series 2 SS but they didn't.

I guess they were fast enough already :p

XR_Strider_GuY

Mate, to be honest i'm on your side about colours, for the Xr8 and SS my choice would be Blue or Silver.

The torch relay escort Commodores were 'RED HOT' VT2 SS 9C1 sedans. From memory there were 6 built. As far as I know none where sold to the public, Holden apparently sold them in house.:(
