    I have one of the last V8 Fairlanes with injected LPG dual fuel which is very comfortable & cheap to run.

    It's got good towing capacity & it's a great daily.

    Andrew that rolled my guards rocked up in what I think was an NF Fairlane (not 100 percent sure). The boot was bloody massive.

    Mick, I ordered Black Simmons, and when they arrived I opened them up to find that they were Hyper Grey. I was furious to tell you the truth. Then my wife came home from work, took a look at one of the wheels and said they are going to look far better on your car than the black would. She thought the whole time that black was not good for my car, but too nice to say anything lol. So glad she was there to see them before I got them sent back. They are a very dark grey in real life

    If anyone is interested, I just listed my VE Clubby staggered Rims on Ebay. They have been recently resprayed by Extensive wheels in Adelaide and have near new Federal 595RSRR tyres on them. If you search Clubsport Alloy wheels they are easy to find and located in Adelaide.

    Love the Nitto's, more grip than the Federal's (which were pretty good but super noisy) and quiet as a mouse

    This car only does about 1500-2000km per year, but if they do will post on here . I have a mate at work who has them on his MR2 and said no probs during winter.

    My ute was 10 in March and has less than 50k on it so mot many more km.
    Actually their weight rating may be an issue for me
