Just picked up this little baby today. I know it's not VW but I think it is pretty cool. What do you think?

Is this the Lotus Cortina or where they only the 2 doors?

there's a Lotus twin cam in Penriff/Erkine Park, nice ride, dump it, add minilite alloys and Lotus' decals, no one will know the difference....unless you try the loud pedal.

I'd love one of those, dead jealous.

Unfortunatly it's not a lotus, but I am still extremely happy. The paint job is immaculate.

I bought it off a retired bloke in Casino. It has been his obsession for the past 12 years and I am the lucky one to reap the rewards of his hard work.

Don't want to do too much to her. Will get it dropped a few inches, some nice mags and the AM radio has to go.

Hope the Twincab doesn't get too jelous of my new girlfriend.

Nice one. My old man had an authentic 65 GT500 for a few years, he just sold it a year ago. They are nice old cars.

I haven't seen a fellow Cortina driver on the road yet. So yet to find out whether they are as freindly as Kombi drivers.

Got plently of thumbs up and people checking it out on the drive home from Casino to Brisbane though.

I love the dropp job you done ROTORBUG.nn[ Edited on 18-9-2005 by 72TWINCAB ]

Nah, they're much 2 heavy, go for a 13BT. There's one in queensland pulling 8s at the mo. 😉
