- 2010 SSV Redline & 2009 SS Sportswagon
Ever since Mad Max and later watching the 1990 Bathurst race with Percy and Grice in the VL I've wanted an Aussie V8. Having moved from Scotland some 17 years ago to Indonesia and now Perth I finally got my chance to own my own piece of Australian V8 automotive history, a 2010 SSV Redline with a rather nice sounding 6.0L V8. Sadly, for a good VL or VK, they were priced out of my reach but I love the look of the VE. My daily is a V6 Omega and a lovely car to drive. The SSV is a manual so more fun. It's not 100% but it is a good starting point for me to get back on the spanners and it drives great. The only thing I've done is change the mufflers for Ultrex stainless ones. It came with an Orrsom OTR and lowered springs so only left with the engine to upgrade with DOD delete and a decent cam.
PS. I love the fact I could finally get my own registration number on the car without paying a fortune for it. A name I've used for years online.
