Excellent. Let the piss taking commence

Good one Ian

Thanks, yeah, I'm expecting loads !!

[Tattooboy]

Thanks everyone, will get some pictures up as soon as it's home, probably not for a few weeks, but probably sooner than Sarges !!

Will have to bend a few black car owners ears for some polishing advice

Good to meet you again today Ian and Cheryl. Glad its going to a good home. Must be one of the youngest members in a 4 dr HSV.

It will bring the VXR8 / GTS average age down below Monaro owners

regards James

Very good to meet you again today James and thank you soooooo much for all your helpfulness today, I'm very much looking forward to picking the GTS up knowing it will look brand new.

Was a pleasure doing the deal with you, hope the other new owner finds his way on here as well

Think I'll be a glamour grandad as I don't own slippers but I do have house trainers

Got loads of gadgets to learn how to use tho

I tell you what Mate, you have an awful lot of hats to eat!!!!

Can understand the need to move on though. At least the Mrs knows what to get you for Christmas.

It's all good fun mate, think I've given as good as I've received !!

I'll take all the banter that's out there, no skin off my nose, plus, what a car to have

Nice one mate is it stock?

Nearly, 20" wheels and big brake kit, WP power pack, 3" bimodal exhaust with 4" billet tips, OTR intake and some real carbon fibre parts to impress 007

Congratulations, you rickety old fart!

Will you have the keys in time for next Sunday in Northampton? Would be great to see it there!

We'll have to make sure the diner does soft boiled eggs for you, don't forget your dentures!

Car looks fantastic though, yellow taxi light going on top soon?

Unfortunately not, MF open day will prob be the first HSV meet I'll have it.

Just remember what they say in the old folks homes, respect and look after your elders

Well done Ian
Some might say that its a good thing as anyone moving across from the Monaro to the VXR8 group would mean the average IQ of both groups will go up

Thanks Jez and erm...................no comment !!

I've Heard that the rear doors work almost exactly the same way as the front ones on the 'Ro, but there's an extra seat and look in the glovebox for the Werthers Originals

I checked and it was empty perhaps JB has them for safe keeping :hehe

Hopefully a fresh pack will be provided for my journey home ?

Well done old boy

Anybody else celebrating ?

I am celebrating the fact that I am definitely moving to Australia, I was given the good news last week. Job offered in sunny Perth with a sponsored visa to get us there, then sponsorship for permanent residency and also discussing a relocation package too.

So hopefully it won't be too long before we move, but I will of course miss meeting up in person with you all but I'll still be on here.

Hoping to take the VXR8 with me. Holden are sending me a certificate of compliance so I can take the car back to Oz subject to a whole host of things. If not then I'll probably pick one up when I get there.

But of course, back to topic, congrats Ian on the move to VXR8 ownership, especially the one you've gone for, excellent!!

Stef

Well done on the move Stef, you must be over the moon!

What an opportunity and of course, another local OZ contact for parts for the forum

Congrats on the new purchase Ian looks mint, did you p/ex the 'ro?

Yes mate, JB gave me a good PX value and is looking after me with the prep of the GTS so it made perfect sense and it also means I haven't got to muck around selling mine.

I'm sure it would of gone without much hassle, but I'm lazy

We'll done Ian, saw the car on Sat morning, beautiful car love the interior. Once it's had to good detail it will look the mutts!!......

Thanks Chris, JB mentioned you'd popped by to have a nose.

Yep, JB assured me it will look a different car when I go and pick it up, I have no doubts it will
