Default New Zealand V300 Aristo

Hi my name is hamish / Hamham i have been checking out this site for a lil while and thought i should join and post up pics of my ride.

I was looking for a new car and i was looking at a ford falcon xr6 turbo (i don think you guys get them but they are a big 4 door 4 litre turbo car) but the ones i wanted were a bit out of my price range so i started looking around for a big power 4 door car and stumbled across the V300 / GS300. I took one for a test drive and fell in love with it and bought it the next day. Sorry for the crap pics i took them in my garage but ill get some decent out door ones soon.

Its bone stock for now but i do want to make it a bit quicker



what makes it go so well
