Hey all,
Had a game of golf with the old man today, was a nice sunny day when we left so I thought I'd take the VL out for a run.
Anywho, second corner on our voyage there I noticed something odd about the indicators, the arrow on the dash cluster was just on solid instead of blinking as...
The recent earthquake in Christchurch is no laughing matter but I literally COULD NOT go past this picture without throwing it up. This is in no way a dig at anyone affected by the earthquake.

Hey all,
In addition to my VL, over the next year or two in my spare time, we're undertaking another Project.
Backstory:
In 2002, Mum's blue VL Berlina (5LTR, lowered, cammed, grumpy thing) was stolen from our house and never recovered. This is the only picture I can find of it from when she...
Well, I thought this place would be absolutely overflowing with shots from the weekend, but it seems I am the first???
Well, I am a first time motorsport shooter here, so be gentle. Shooting the weekend was a secondary consideration. I didn't go out of my way to get great shots, I just...

So, it was no real surprise that I could get my barrel to crank/fire the engine with a few seconds of...

Hey all,
I'm a studying photographer and was doing some work for the Fastrack Racing hotlap guys yesterday, when low and behold during a break, Alan Grice's 'Chickadee' Bathurst winner made an appearance. I'm not sure who was driving, but I was told they were cleaning out the cobwebs before the...
Hey guys, I'm not huge on 'Early-Girl' knowledge, but my great uncle who worked at GM for a number of years has handed on to me a few of these books. The pages are A3 in size, with about 25 pages.
He said they were released as a celebration of the first commodore, and are extremely rare to...
