Congratulations, you rickety old fart!

Will you have the keys in time for next Sunday in Northampton? Would be great to see it there!

We'll have to make sure the diner does soft boiled eggs for you, don't forget your dentures!

Car looks fantastic though, yellow taxi light going on top soon?

Well done Ian smile
Some might say that its a good thing as anyone moving across from the Monaro to the VXR8 group would mean the average IQ of both groups will go up hehe

Think I'll be a glamour grandad as I don't own slippers but I do have house trainers biggrin

Got loads of gadgets to learn how to use tho smile
I've Heard that the rear doors work almost exactly the same way as the front ones on the 'Ro, but there's an extra seat and look in the glovebox for the Werthers Originals wink
I checked and it was empty confused perhaps JB has them for safe keeping :hehe

Hopefully a fresh pack will be provided for my journey home ? wink

Well done old boy clap

Anybody else celebrating ? ears
I am celebrating the fact that I am definitely moving to Australia, I was given the good news last week. Job offered in sunny Perth with a sponsored visa to get us there, then sponsorship for permanent residency and also discussing a relocation package too.

So hopefully it won't be too long before we move, but I will of course miss meeting up in person with you all but I'll still be on here.

Hoping to take the VXR8 with me. Holden are sending me a certificate of compliance so I can take the car back to Oz subject to a whole host of things. If not then I'll probably pick one up when I get there.

But of course, back to topic, congrats Ian on the move to VXR8 ownership, especially the one you've gone for, excellent!!

Stef
Well done on the move Stef, you must be over the moon!

What an opportunity and of course, another local OZ contact for parts for the forum thumbup

Yes mate, JB gave me a good PX value and is looking after me with the prep of the GTS so it made perfect sense and it also means I haven't got to muck around selling mine.

I'm sure it would of gone without much hassle, but I'm lazy biggrin
