And this is a G8 of the Month contest, since he has changed his to a Holden I think he may not qualify, jk.

Actually, if you look in the rules, the Holdens are eligible to win. Our cars really are Holdens after all. Plus, we have a large Australian community on this board as well and we like to like to include everyone.

After looking through this thread I realize that I need somebody else to take some pictures of my car. While I can do a decent job with a crappy camera you can really tell the difference with some of these high quality images.

Looks like our Big brothers are scared guys. A v-6 once but not twice let alone in a row.

PONY MAN
08-19-2011, 04:29 AM
In all fairness, to my knowledge, there aren't too many heavily modded V6s roaming around here on the forum nor in the world. Therefore, it may be awhile before we see another V6 with a legitimate shot of winning G8 of the month. However, anything is possible, but the one thing we do share at the end of the day, is a common enthusiasm for the G8.

HunterSwift
08-19-2011, 09:42 AM
Look next month, I will vote for v6.

LowCal
08-19-2011, 09:53 AM
it's all about the pics and quality lol, it was a good run but Hunters Pic is amazing. Wish i had scenery like that around here. i might go next month with a diff pic hahahahaha

PONY, it's got nothing to do with how modded your car is or v6 - v8 or to some people high on their horse might not vote cuz its a 6, but then you can have the GXP guys rannging on the GT guys for not stepping up and getting the best. There will always be that. If it was based solely on apperance i'm sure vote could go the other way

This is a real good month, as a lot of them look good. However, I've gotta put my vote for Christiancoach as I've seen other pics of his car and his car is insane. Taking a debadged Commodore (which all G8's are originally Holden Commodores) and giving back it's original look. Outstanding work Christiancoach...keep up the good work.
