In fairness, you weren't back in for long. How's the GTR going?

true but I bought and sold 2 VXR8s in that short time so have owned 3 ignoring all the other vauxhalls I've owned!! Totally understand the position though. GTR going well thanks and it's 620 HP is very fast....but stage 5 or beyond would be better :-)

Hopefully I can make the May trip and V8UK RWYB unless I get caught out in the technicality of not having a V8 anymore either!!

It's not often that people are accused of cheating because they only have 6 cylinders.

Whilst its great VX organising it, its a real shame what was once a forum event for forum members with various marques is no longer the case

Really? When was the last time it was an 'open' event?

2010. Jez used to organise it with Javelin for the forum at Woodbridge, but numbers tailed off. Vx took over from 2011 at Cottesmore (how will I forget), 2012 at Wittering, and 2013 back at Woodbridge.

Was Vauxhalls Holden's and HSV's
Dont you remember the Transport unit be bring

[Gary H 2008]

I think I've done 2? Pretty sure I was picking mine up the weekend of the one in 2011.
I know we've had this discussion before - This now, regardless of what it was before , is a Vauxhall VXR event. So when Dougie says...



...he means it.

I'll quote that, as you've included Holdens.


Gary, as with the forum, he who pays the piper calls the tune. Vx are good enough to underwrite the event now, so I'm more than happy to abide by their rules.

Bloody good value for money, with lunch as well. :licki:

Well that would have been Jez and it cost him a few bob IIRC.

You could do one yourself???
