So for the last 2 years I haven't had much movement on the car front. I have been wanting to get the old VN commodore back on the road and I did give it a go. I had the tyres replaced and I got most of it back together. I went down to the VTNZ to get it inspected and it came back with rust all around the front and back windows.

The MPV has started to show its build quality in overheating all the time (well at least showing like it is). After spending over $4.5K on various parts including the radiator, suspension and tyres to get it back on the road for a short while I decided to go with something that I know.

After a short hunt and a bit of luck I can across this 1997 VS series 2 commodore executive

Everything went well for me on this. Its a style of car that I understand and like better than most other cars on the road. Its going to be good for towing the caravan when we go on holidays.
