I think I would be tempted to pay slightly more and get the one with the s charger.

Known cars here?

Was that a drunken yearning for home Andy?

As has been said, the blue one has been the owner of Elite's car for quite a while now, so you can guess it's going to be a good one that he picked for himself.

He's also got an ex Walkinshaw family E2 HSV GTS that hasn't been advertised yet. Not sure if it is already spoken for, but if you are interested, then you might want to give him a call.

......well I have always wanted one. Seems like a lot of metal and hp for the mula that's for sure. I youtubed wortec exhausts and supercharger.........sweet baby Jesus!

And they're not too shabby on track, either.

They did look good in my rearview mirror........................................as they began to go passed on Camel

Damn why wasn't I keen when this was for sale privately

[bigunit00]

I am keen to buy the blue car. Just need to see if I can get a decent insurance quote and have some other things fall into line this week. Fingers crossed!!

[bigunit00]

So I've put a holding deposit on the blue car. Just need to find the rest of the dosh down the back of the sofa . Sky weren't very good insurance wise (didn't tick enough of their "boxes") and got into a moronic debate with the pleb on the phone about what defines a "modification" and what doesn't. Classicline were good though.

ARAF said:

Agreed. Are you coming to Zandvoort in the summer?

Yes I am signed up (with Boxsey you mean?) but haven't checked dates recently - July is it? ........missed Spa in March due to illness so be good to get there once this year.

Middle of July. We're not doing Spa, but will be at Zandvoort. Our VXR8 has gone, and been replaced by an SSV Ute, but not sure if we will be bringing that, or whether I'll have made another purchase by then and bring that instead.

Ah.....a Porsche.....converted hey......I can see you in that

ARAF said:

We've been there before, and there is some bargain priced Pork around at the moment, but it could just as easily be from half a dozen other manufacturers. We'll see.

Good pt. I don't like the new stuff myself except for the "GT" cars.

Finally got own to Elite to drive the Blue S/C vxr8. Epic! Loved it! Can't wait to pick it up.

Congrats !!

Thats the very car that got me into these, So I had to go buy one the same colour with same colour wheels which is now lowered on Peddars and soon too have the tints done. Just need a SC now if anyone has one kicking about in the garden shed ?

Lol........twins mate. Have to admit Impulse Blue is very nice in the flesh. It's a bit faster than my old nissan rb30 powered vl commodore from back in my uni days that's for sure

[bigunit00]

Nice upgrades there. Looks good
