So which would you go for?

ringram's 7-litre NA monster that has topped Thunder Road NA class three times
stick100's 7.4-litre NA monster which must have the potential to topple ringram's record
allblackR1's TVS2300 supercharged monster that was the fastest VXR8 at Thunder Road this year (it is his on eBay, isn't it?)
that 150,000-mile TVS2300 VXR8 on eBay for £15K

I note that ringram is relocating. Does this mean his ute is up for sale???

Me - I'd go for the one with no engine and gearbox, as working cars are no fun.

As a daily driver ringrams has got to be top of anyone's shopping list
It really does drive nice and wants for nothing

Fastest in the first 5 runs this year wink Someone else went 178...

And Ringrams is a 7.2l smile

And he is looking for someone to take on his LSA Ute from Picador, his old company own the other ute.

There have been a few nice modded 'Ro's and VXR8's the last couple of weeks that have me considering swapping out my Monaro for a more modded one. All the above look awesome. Good choices available for new owners at the moment.

No idea whether I would go supercharged or NA though!

I've just looked in your garage. Not sure which you're having trouble selling, the 370Z, Prius, or Octavia. scratchchin

it's a bad time to sell cars , some one said brexit to blame ? ,I've been trying to sell my Subaru jdm wagon for a while now it feels more like giving it away which I won't do I would rather keep and use it , but it is therefore a good time to buy

It's an odd time. My Renault was up for sale for over a month (Ph, eBay, Specialist forum), at the bottom of the market values and I didn't get one call. The Boxster was only advertised on a forum for 55 minutes before it sold.

I don't understand it.

Oh and I've just transferred my plate back onto the Wind, so like your Subaru, that will be staying for another 6 months or so. smile
