How awesome does the whole car look?

Easily one of my favourite Australian touring cars.

There is a great photo of the Greens Tuff XE doing a powerslide down the main straight at Lakeside in the rain. I think it was a publicity shot. Can anyone advise if it's possible to locate this photo somewhere?

I had it on the wall of a house I sold and forgot to take it with me.

19"s on the back, I remember the commentators discussing them when they appeared.

The car didn't always look so sharp...

Naa, not 20"

They were massive though and the flares were fitted just to fit the tyres.

Who can forget that?! Although yours truly wasn't born yet! I come from a motorsport orientated family!

I asked them nicely last time I was there if we can peek under the bonnet.

"No probs" was the response.

Felt pretty lucky.

Im pretty sure they were 19x12 inch rims on the back. Well what ever they were they set off the total look of the car. Its such a beautiful machine.

I dont think there is a tougher Aussie touring car than that! But damn what a tin can!

Could someone photoshop those two pics into a nice background? Im hopeless with PS. Im sure Im not the only one who would like it.

edit: they look like sheep skin seat covers

There is a chance that it may already have gone to it's new home at the Bowden collection but any info would be great.
