New car ordered
Discussion
Heya guys 
, I am a new member for the Holden Hoon club after ordering a new VXR8 GTS at the weekend.
I have gone for a Perfect Blue model which means I get to jump the build queue as Bellingers has one on order for stock that should arrive early December and everyone else is going for the boring colours of Red/Black/White
Looks like you lot have some good meets so hope to join in on these soon. (BTW, I think I might be a lot younger than the rest of you

don't forget pictures when you pick it upHaha, not quite that young but all the previous oldies owning these big V8's have certainly helped the insurance profile. Insurance is only about £100 more than for my 320cd bimmer! (errrr, did I just own up to owning a BMW in here? Whoops! 
)
Definitely going for the loud and proud approach to this car, need to get in touch with WP and see what magic they can do and then go and remortgage the house to afford it

BMW?! Well that was a mistake )
Insurance is indeed generally pretty good all things considered, the Monaros aren't too bad either, although they don't benefit from the fleet of old codgers like the VXR8s do
I think the youngest ages for new owners have been around 22/23, hence the uni comment
Yeah, Edward @ Bellingers did say that there was a massive difference in profile of owners for this new model compared to previous generations of VXR8.
23 and owning a new one of these! Blimey, I thought at 30 getting one was a fair achievement.
To be fair to Betty (my beemer), she has done what was needed of her as I was an IT consultant so clocking up the miles, now I commute into London, her time is up and I need a toy for the weekends

It certainly is, sorry I should have been clearer I just meant as in owning any of the cars, new or used. Forgive my confusion, you see we don't often talk money / finance packages / options levels / resale colours over here, that stuff's for the German marque forums Look forward to pictures of the car, I'm over in Aylesbury so you're not far away

Gotcha! Don't worry, I am being a bit special today (just today?)Look forward to pictures of the car, I'm over in Aylesbury so you're not far away
Option levels? Colour, Auto, Sunroof. Blue, no, no
Yeah, looking forward to seeing the colour myself. Have test driven both cars Bellingers have had in (the VX press car and their new demonstrator) and they have both been red! Such an unoriginal colour
