Monaro - not allowed one. Mrs knows about them, as chap across the road has one, she also knows that it has a 5.7 and decribed it as being a bigger Laguna in the looks department (think its the headlights)

I want one.. but I have to admit, the vanilla Monaro is pretty bland in the styling dept.
The VXR with it's nostrils/bumpers/pipes is much better...

Ah I see, you mean a VZ? Its not just the VXR that has those extras;

I bought a BMW 545 in January and its been brilliant. Very roomy, great cruiser and the 4.4 V8 is immense - 0-60 in under 6 seconds. Higher mile ones are going for less than £10K.

As a rule, about the beginning of 2005. Here's a link to the various models if you're interested;

Mazda 6 MPS

For the love of God 300, will you please stop bringing the 6MPS into every 'What Car' thread.




Until I have one

@ Greatgranny: that's a B3 (3.3 litres, 280bhp) you've linked to, the B3S is 3.4 litres, 305bhp and was made from 2003 on. Small but important differences I think you'll agree :-)
