got my Monaro today!:clap:

[davegreg]

It's been a long week.......but i finally picked up my Oddessy Monaro V8 from Wigan. A fantastic 150 mile 'getting aquainted' type journey home literally flew by, and i think i'm going to love this car.........once i've mastered the alarm system! I got on the M6 heading north and stopped to fill up with petrol, got back in the car - tried to start it- the alarm was going mental, and i bagan to cower with embarassment! I think it was by fluke that i finally got it started again and carried on my way!
Once on the road though.........fantastic, effortless power, and that addictive V8 rumble!

One year on and mine still makes me smile for all those reasons. Enjoy!

Fantastic is'nt it. Happy New Monaro day.
Are you not a bit concerned about the alarm though?

[EssexHSV]

I know your going to love every miles driving it and now its going to cost you thousands of pounds upgrading it and in loads of new rear tyres.
Good luck and happy saving

enjoy the new car and get some rainx on the side windows, you're going to need them kept clear

[V2RAC]

Rainx?..Try washing windscreen with drivers side window down, you'll look like you peed yourself

[davegreg]

My apologies Bonnie.....i genuinely didn't know what was happening on the 16th!

About RWYB though, how does it work with your car insurance? Do you tell them , or just hope everything will be ok.

Great color! It is the fastest color! They originally were painted blue, but they were so fast that the blue started to come off! lol In the US the color is Cyclone Gray Metallic =)
Congrats man!
