These make me happy too - there's another one on the other side with a "-" on it. There's 8 gears - for me it's like I'm an F1 pilot in a 5 seat 4 door car mostly doing the speed limit or 12 over :)
I rarely ever put it in drive and it holds the selected ratio and in sport mode it has rev matched downshifts :). Like a slushbox only better :)

Love the sound of downshifting :)

Bro, that's sweet. WRX STI? It's hard to see but isn't that a rare white Grand National in yer avvie?

How come no wood russ??

If I can't wash it I can't use it :)

ha, I think I now have the only woody that russ ever had. a really nice old school cocobolo VV :)

I've had 3 - a Jatoba poly 18490, a natural cocobolo VV and a natural cocobolo Woodvil from the previous sale :)

I didn't know that, only knew this vv coco was originally yours. so I guess then same question, why no woods? :)

oh I see, the washing thing... ha, I never worried about that, trees get wet in the forest, boats can be made of wood and my woodies can get wet from time to time no problem :)

russ that's a 2 door coupe, they never made it as a wrx or sti in the coupe. they didn't make many coupes really. this ones an RS2.5. it was a track car at one point with a jdm sti drivetrain but now the roll bars been cut out and the stock motor's back in it and I gave it to my kid to drive... eventually I'll swap it back to an sti drivetrain but he's a kid, want him to get some miles under his belt before I go building him a monster, right now he's got the look only and that's enough for me :)

that white car is turbocad6, one of my earlier builds from my younger days. it'sa coupe deville with a grand national drivetrain, 6 cyl turbo, hence turbocad6 :)

Now I totally get the turbocad. I use autocad and assumed the "cad" was that you had ninja like cad skills too :)

Too funny that I just knew it was GN powered :)

That VV wood was purchased 2nd hand from big hitter. He was the original owner. It's the only second hand mod I've ever bought, I bought it because I knew he cared for his mods as well as I do. It was in immaculate condition both when I received it and when I sold it :). One well cared for rare Woodvil :). Congrats on being its owner bro :)
