i actually don't mind it...would have to finish the paint scheme off somehow...maybe good for a promo/ company vehicle.

definently have to fit a full v8supercar kit and get rid of the unpainted bog bits- and fix the dodgy tyres, new full exhaust and dvd that doesn't work...but otherwise if it was a little cheaper i wouldn't think it's too bad.

the blue is all vinyl stickering.



there is a bloke with a pursuit 250 on here which has similar vinyl decals.

Thought so, that'd come up a treat I'd reckon. It may need a respray though as the paint will have faded where it isn't covered up.

I was thinking the same thing.

I like the look of it, and it would make a great mate for Marty's Pursuit 250. A nice set of wheels, finish of the livery, and its going to look very unique. And the fact its on Gas, who cares, its an AU3 XR8, although not sure about the build date, but it's worth while project for someone looking for something different. Its got a good base.

Ask any LPG installer, Windsors love gas.

the uneducated who have never used gas have no idea . gas actually is higher octane than any pertol you can buy. and with a good injection system and higher compression ( gas will run happily on 10.2:1)will out perform petrol. a comment like this reminds me of a quote from Abraham Lincoln, it is "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."
