Finally, some recognition!

Chat about all things Bonneville (and related cars). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

Finally, some recognition!

Post by petraman »

I found this on Jalopnik today.

IIRC that's Gonneville's old ride (well duhh, he was given credit for it at the bottom, haha)

That's pretty cool!

If Han drives a 92-99 SSEi, then I believe Darth Vader would roll in Sammy's old GXP. Storm troopers in Booze's car, etc... :jester:

EDIT:
Some of those others made me laugh, a Caprice? A beat down farm truck? Oook...lol

That truck is only beat down because that's the point. :wink:

I want my 67 to be in the 12's. That would piss some people off.

We have a K5 blazer of that vintage...and that thing is a beast to stop sometimes. I sure hope he has upgraded the brakes on the old truck! That is the ultimate sleeper though! Surprised the cap hasn't blown off it yer! haha

I can see Han in a Bonneville, but it would have to be a 92-95 for sure.

Tony Soprano though, I could see a white 00+ SSEi. The Godfather, a black 00+. Just what comes to me as their type of car. David Hasselhoff would be in a 87-91 SSE. :P

Love those things! Especially a full blown rally version.

Also, that GXP seems to have the concept wheels on it no?
