Sorry to both of you, but you can't ask about that colour and not expect people to make the connection.


Now, Gary, do you want to spill the beans?

think Gary has already changed his profile pic

Nice one Gary! James, I was looking on PH at your cars for a while before plumbing for the vet and it was difficult to see the cars as it said choice of 3 then on the site choice of three, made looking difficult but then am a bit of a spaz at computers so could be user error

Gary, did you by any chance plan routes to take you through tunnels?

Michael, sorry you were a.bit confused as the HSV stock changes constantly the adverts are changing. Maybe should have rung or emailed me for info but I thought you would go for something like that as think you have got a really lovely buy with the red C6 Z06

Well done.

Start a new thread, with pictures of course.

Will do soon, going to get a couple of decent pics tomorrow as I have the week off work( which worked out nicely, well if not for me then my local shell garage!) then I'll put a post up

If anyone is looking for one make contacting James your first point of call, got mine before it was advertised

thanks Gary. That one had your name all over it and its Red

true enough don't take this wrong but the history with trade is you call/email and most dealers (admittedly you are rare) don't answer/want to talk/reply

Interestingly though Nigel at Bauer Millets replied immediately and was great to chat to but I had to explain/aplogise as a z06 at the same price as a trade c6 was a no brainer

you need to branch out into these specialist cars as your reputation stock is strong

Yes they are awesome cars and wouldn't mind having the odd one in, main issue is that £30k-£35k LHD Vettes are a different ball game to £10k-£25k RHD Monaros / VXR8s. as they are way more specialist and small limited market. saying that I have just sold a LHD Dodge Ram SRT Viper V10

If you ever want anything interesting promoting on V8UK, just let me know and I'll share it there. It's only another 1,600 people or so, but they're at least a good target audience of V8 lovers

I think you've got the Holden/HSV market sewn up though, I should get a load of your business cards to hand out when people ask about the car

Thanks James, i will try and make a V8UK meet

James, if you do get stuck with the touch up stick, let me know, my local Holden dealer is about 2 minutes from where I live and I can have a chat with Kevin the parts manager.

Stef

Thanks Stef, at the moment looks like Chipex in Banbury can do it
Thx James

I ve had a couple of them Srt V10 Rams & if it was manual the clutches last about 10 mins in them

gary, thanks for advice - not had a manual srt10 before must be all that torque as it pulls from 1,000 rpm. good job its gone to an American car mechanic

Yes I did mate, always wanted a red car and it came up at the right time I reckon, sad to see the ute go but power fix, er....fixed!

The r8 looks stunning in red and is enhanced with the black wheels etc. much easier / cheaper to buy the car with the mods already done as well. I assume it's a Harrop sc if you get the loud whine? What Bhp is it putting out?

Yes Andrew its a Harrop 122 and about 590-600bhp @ fwbhp according to instal
