Sweet looking XA GT, you lucky bugger. Bet you're grinning every time you drive it. Enjoy.

Beautiful car, well done on getting it in the mag.

On a lesser note, there's one more bloody VL Commodore on Street Machine's pages!

I haven't got the mag yet. Don't know if I'll be able to get it this month. Had to buy a friends 21st birthday present yesterday and got my rego due on November 1st, so at the minute I don't even have enough for a copy of Street Machine.
