Hi Guys

[Andy616]

Thought I'd introduce myself in this part of the forum.

I'm based in Somerset and I've currently got a Mk4 Astra daily and this for the weekends:




I've decided it's time to replace the Astra with something a bit more interesting so umm... Monaro it is!

Currently on the look out for an 6.0 VXR and I've sent James @ Elite an email to try and arrange a viewing.

Can't wait!

Ooooh my favourite skyline, very cool indeed

It isn't stock I assume?

You've gone to the right man with James

And the correct car.

Nice r32 or just plain Godzilla! Had one myself last year, have had 3 r33's too lol!
Welcome along!

I thought his was the green car - especially if he's getting a Monaro.


Welcome to the site. James at Elite has just got a nice Ute in, if you fancy something even less common than a Monaro.

[Andy616]

Thanks guys, I've now got a viewing with James sorted for Saturday.

The Skyline is a long term project (I've got a thread in reader's cars) and I figured whilst I'm in the position to do it I might as well run something a bit mad as a daily as well.

Update: Had the viewing on Saturday. It was great to meet James and see the cars he's got in currently and take one out for a test drive.

I'm now convinced it's the car for me, so watch this space!

Elite Cars should come with a Government Wealth warning.

Wait until you've got one, and start looking at shiny bits at Monkfish Performance.

You're not wrong.

I decided to buy the car I test drove at Elite. I pick it up next weekend. It's going to be a long week!

Well done. Early plate for a 6 litre VXR, means cheaper tax.

Ooohhh - how rude. At least the Morris is a 'coupe' - I guess a Traveller would be more suited to you VXR8 guys Araf.

Plenty of room for the Tupperware, woolly blanket and Thermos. And all that lovely wood.

Looks very nicely prepped

Thanks Richard. Alloys are being refurbed for Andrew in Graphite as have a few marks on them.

Count down the days slowly Andrew

[mik_ok]

Nice choice.

R32 looks lovely.

And I don't know. We don't have a VXR8 anymore.

[Andy616]

Well, I picked the car up this morning. It's epic!

Massive thanks to James for sorting everything and making the whole process easy from start to finish.

It was prepped brilliantly but predictably as I was about to leave the heavens opened and it's now filthy so I haven't got any pictures yet.

Andy. Glad car has gone to a good home and another one in the south west. Hope journey back was okay as sun came out later

Hopefully will see you at a meet. Will be having one at mine in mid November

Good choice Andy, nice looking car, don't forget to check if your car is on the Build Number Register.

Cheers, it did brighten up a bit near the end. I'll definitely try and get to some meets next year when I've got more time. I should have been studying today!

Thanks, I've added it and updated the register.
