Nice one Gary! James, I was looking on PH at your cars for a while before plumbing for the vet and it was difficult to see the cars as it said choice of 3 then on the site choice of three, made looking difficult but then am a bit of a spaz at computers so could be user error

Gary, did you by any chance plan routes to take you through tunnels?

Michael, sorry you were a.bit confused as the HSV stock changes constantly the adverts are changing. Maybe should have rung or emailed me for info but I thought you would go for something like that as think you have got a really lovely buy with the red C6 Z06

true enough don't take this wrong but the history with trade is you call/email and most dealers (admittedly you are rare) don't answer/want to talk/reply

Interestingly though Nigel at Bauer Millets replied immediately and was great to chat to but I had to explain/aplogise as a z06 at the same price as a trade c6 was a no brainer

you need to branch out into these specialist cars as your reputation stock is strong

Yes they are awesome cars and wouldn't mind having the odd one in, main issue is that £30k-£35k LHD Vettes are a different ball game to £10k-£25k RHD Monaros / VXR8s. as they are way more specialist and small limited market. saying that I have just sold a LHD Dodge Ram SRT Viper V10

I'm still wondering if the Supercharger wine is Red or White

If you ever want anything interesting promoting on V8UK, just let me know and I'll share it there. It's only another 1,600 people or so, but they're at least a good target audience of V8 lovers

I think you've got the Holden/HSV market sewn up though, I should get a load of your business cards to hand out when people ask about the car

James, if you do get stuck with the touch up stick, let me know, my local Holden dealer is about 2 minutes from where I live and I can have a chat with Kevin the parts manager.

The r8 looks stunning in red and is enhanced with the black wheels etc. much easier / cheaper to buy the car with the mods already done as well. I assume it's a Harrop sc if you get the loud whine? What Bhp is it putting out?

Seat of the pants is what matters - just ask Richie Slow. Numbers are just for bragging rights at the pub. If you're happy, take dyno figures with a pinch of salt.

Tbh have had people ask me, just want to answer them for definite, good thing about buying one already done is that the modding bug hasn't had to start I suppose....

Tell 'em it's got 800 on my dyno. I'll get the crayons out, and draw you a graph to prove it. If someone pays be more, I'll draw them a graph showing 900.

What I'm trying to say is that Rolls Royce had it right, when their quoted hp was "sufficient"
