Craig and Sharon, welcome on here, you must come on the next meet and bring both cars as there are a few us around these parts. your yellow CV8 was the second Monaro I ever bought so that's a lot monaros ago biggrin black VXR8 is safely locked away waiting for its service etc

They have V8 minds, currently a Monaro CV8 and MPV, common sense would say PX the Monaro, but the heart said PX the MPV against the VXR8 and keep the Monaro and enjoy life smiledriving

i can't understand why VX dropped the blue on both the Monaro's and VXR8's its such a good colour. Mr CV8's looked stunning the other week, best colour by far

So I've put a holding deposit on the blue car. Just need to find the rest of the dosh down the back of the sofa wink. Sky weren't very good insurance wise (didn't tick enough of their "boxes") and got into a moronic debate with the pleb on the phone about what defines a "modification" and what doesn't. Classicline were good though.

yes Middle of July. We're not doing Spa, but will be at Zandvoort. Our VXR8 has gone, and been replaced by an SSV Ute, but not sure if we will be bringing that, or whether I'll have made another purchase by then and bring that instead.

laugh We've been there before, and there is some bargain priced Pork around at the moment, but it could just as easily be from half a dozen other manufacturers. We'll see. smile
