Discussion
Hi Guys, got my first VXR Monaro about a month ago - and am totally in love with it. This is completely new territory for me, so I'd very much appreciate any advice you have about how to take this interest forward. I'm based in Kent and would love to participate in any owners get togethers. Also, would like to make some cosmetic enhancements to engine compartment (I have no experience) as she's looking a little superficially corroded. Thanks a mil for any and all advice.
Welcome. loads of us in Kent 
Big meet this weekend if your up for a drive see " National meet " thread ...

Engine compartment tidying you say? What have you got in mind? Will it be shiny? 
If you really want to get to know the car, then as 007 suggested, there's a V8UK event all weekend called the UK Power Tour ( http://www.ukpowertour.co.uk/ ) which is about 330miles in total (plus driving back to Kent, so probably around 600
)
If not, the national meet is up in York too, they're visiting us on the Power Tour on the Monday as we'll be racing at York that day.
There's loads of you in Kent so you won't have much trouble finding a buddy or two for a drive out
Welcome to the friendliest place on the internet by the way

Guys thanks for such a lovely, friendly, helpful and immediate response. Based in Faversham and will post pics (in a post on this thread - is that how it's done??) when I get back to my PC.
What a fab welcome!
Phil
Plenty of us around you. What a fab welcome!
Phil
You missed a good day at Leeds Castle on Sunday. We often meet at 007VXR's pub in Walderslade.

Phil, Welcome to the best forum on the net, glad you eventually found us all, you will find lots of friendly advice on here and Meets are a must.Glad you are enjoying it
A lot of Ro's suffer from the alloy metal parts going "milky" under the bonnet, not sure what other owners do to theirs to tidy up but sure someone will have some advice
Pics of Phils new car, has a few nice mods - Wortec, LS7, REP, RRP, Ripshifter
regards James

Welcome.
Some of the nuts and bolts under the bonnet go rusty, I've changed a few of mine for stainless steel items although it all needs a clean under there are the winter we've had.
The mods on that car are exactly where mine's going to be in the next few weeks if all goes to plan.
