    I let my Platinum membership lapse so I can't post pics of mine, but here is a link to a site that sells Aussie muscle cars.
    Importers of the Australian Ford Falcon - Mad Max Interceptor, Big Bopper, Nightrider and other MFP vehicles. Informational site about Australian cars: VH Charger, Holden Monaro.


    Here is a commercial for the Vogue:


    And yes, I have them here in the US.

        But... please expain to me how this has taken months of your time if it is stock? Just saying.
        Months of enjoyment. It's taken fun time away from my other hobby, guitars.

        It's an auto. I have the same issue as rdamaral, a wife that can't drive a stick. But I am pretty happy with the auto. Most people with sticks have a hard time getting below the 13's. It's pretty impressive being able to go and buy a stock car and go to a drag strip for the first time and get into the 12's. But there are time I wish it was a stick. I have a stick in the 1990 Pontiac GTA (the wife hates it).

        My current collection is:

        73 UK (X35) Aussie Charger (yes you read that right).
        66 Singer Vogue wagon.
        05 Magnum R/T
        04 Ram 2500 Diesel - not had this long but loving the big diesel and the 6sp manual!
        97 Eclipse GSX - just been given this, I see a Bonneville racing project on the horizon...
        I have a 1970 Challenger and the wife got a 2011 Ram Crew Cab (if I got a new toy, she had to get one too).
        And you can see the Tahoe (the bus) and the Acura TL Type S (the economy car) in the driveway as well.

          You don't need a Pltimun membership to post pictures. My ISP gives me 25MB of free web space. I upload the photos there, and then link to here.

                      That makes sense. Drag racing is an addictive sport.

                        I don't have an isp. I don't have internet. I do all my posting from work.

                          Well, you probably know I'm fairly blunt, so: in a bad way! That thing's mugly!

                              Geeze Don, get a real vehicle. You may beat me in a 1/4, but mine looks manly and can fit two half stacks and two guitars in it, and thats just in the cab.






                              Oh, and it still gets like 22 on the interstate.
