VXR500 in the NOTW

[The Jackel]

Well Caspy you've made it famous now.

The VXR500 gets a mention in the motoring section of the News of the World.

I at least thought there would be some lovelys leaning over the bonnet - hehehe

Well done anyway.

I am so so so so sorry!!!

Told you Paul!!

How on earth can they compare it to an Astra Coupe?

I know they say it is like its "Yobbish big brother" but strange to compare a 200bhp FWD car to a 500bhp RWD monster!

Both made by Vauxhall - 's all they need innit?

That says it all about the average NOTW reader and explains why they can compare it to an Astra Coupe

Well I had to laugh.

But hey any coverage is good coverage (isn't it)

I'm assuming you are making an ironic comment on NOTW writers and readers, as they are both GM not Vauxhall. But the implication could be avoided by taking the monaro badges off a '04 and then modifying it, the ultimate in discretion.

The NOTW is a typical crap Sunday Paper.

However badly it is written (and it is)it still profiles the Monaro Brand which in a way is a good thing.

I seam to remember it mentioning the Monaro replacement in the same article (but again it is the NOTW)

It did briefly!

"As a last hurrah before it's replaced with a more sensible model....."

Sensible?
