Spotted yesterday Silver CV8 - Crowthorne / Bracknell

[stubbsey]

Saw last second coming the other way (so think it was CV8?) - I was in a red R8. Anyone here?

Hey that may have been me, silver ls2 vxr around 1230-1300 or 1630-1700? (depending which way you were going!)

That was me, just come out of the big offices, transport or something, on 9 mile ride. Saw you and and first thought was that vxr8 is seriously nice!

[stubbsey]

Good to see yours is still getting winter use!!

[psycho sport]

only just got it back from having a new radiator fitted, rear brakes and having the silencers put back in the exhaust. When it's not raining, this time of year is excellent car weather, dry roads, nice cold air temperature, what more can you ask for! Only when the weather turns consistently bad will the L200 get preferential treatment!

If you don't mind me asking, which radiator did you go for as a replacement? Mine needs doing in the new year, currently tucked up in the garage.

Ordered from Monkfish, not sure what manufacturer they supply.

Mines at The Fish at the moment - getting a bit of an overhaul as the poor old thing has now done 123k!!!

John. Glad you still got my old silver CV8. Hope its going well. That is a good car. James

There seems to be a lot of Ro and r8 around the Bracknell area!

For me the reason i got one, after wanting one for ages, was seeing a Silver Monaro booting it down a dual carriage way in Bracknell near Mc Donalds. That noise!!

I was having a play on the way back from work last night with a friend in his Subaru Forester STi and he just couldn't get over the noise (and the fact he couldn't keep up). That for me is what makes this car!

Although i was slightly humbled by a 2014 plate 535d being able to keep pace with me, much to the amusement of my brother in the passenger seat. Those things are not shy in terms of mid range performance.
