No, he uses the $30 throwovers to protect the $200 seat covers that protect the seats.

may I also add, that any-one who knows anything about speakers knows that 6 X 9's are absoulte ! If your on a budget, fair enough, but they are not a selling point.

Some idiot is going to buy it, spending 10 times what its worth, and telling all his mates it is " Fully sik!!!"... just you watch.

Something I have witnessed first hand, is that for every 1 toolhead V6 Clubsport seller, there is 10 toolhead potentials willing to pay enything to buy it!

Or he means V8s that are parked up the end of the street, so that way when the VN breaks down, he can push it up behind the V8, claming he can keep up with V8s.

lol

But it is kind of true, the VN Series 1 only was rumoured to be off the mark as fast as the VN 5LT. This was backed up by a guy on Justcommodores forum when he had a VN Lexan V6 and Bought a VP V8. He ran both them and said the VN was faster of the mark because the V8 was flat down low on take off, thats how Holden wanted it. the VP in the end still beat the VN by over a second, That guy is just dreaming when he says it can keep up with V8's unless he means the 253 :P

Man I needed a good laugh, thanks guys and especially thanks to the tool trying to sell that car. What I don't get is its a october 1989, yet was first registered in december 1991. What, did the dealer go on vacation for 2 years? or did he just realise that the car was like wine and only got better with age.
