Pursuit to Commodore

A few of you know I moved to Australia about 3,5 years ago. some of the new comers wont. but anyways. I have decided to stay. got my permanent residency, and now its time to get back into cars. I had a 2006 Pontiac Pursuit GT back in Canada, was fun, but lets face facts.. rwd FTW!!

Started by picking up a 95 VS Ute for a daily driver, lowered it, soft cover, 18's was fun... but not very fast...

2009 VE SS Ute
6L v8, 6 speed manual. dual 2.5" catback, hptuners, coilovers, adjustable sway bars

I picked up this monster. shes quick, stock its quicker than my pontiac was. this is gonne be a fun one to mod

Went on a cruise last night, good time.
