now I remember why I dont use Arnold Clark for my servicing....wonder if thats the black ex demonstrator your Vauxhall sales manager from Stirling was driving about in for a while. Have heard rumours of it being around Hamilton but never seen it on the roads myself.

I didn't mean it that it was being abused in anyway,just being a holden fan for years and its the first time seeing one up close and the burble of the exhausts against the walls indoors.

Did see a Black VXR8 in Hamilton a few months ago donno if its the same one,all the managers are running around in Vectra VXR's at the mo.

BTW how is the supercharger coming? met you up at Chatelherault a couple of years back,i was the one asking if you could start it to hear it near the end of the show.

Nice number plate. Perhaps he should have got one a bit larger.

charger is lying on the floor here waiting to get fitted, has been for 7 months now!! Who knows maybe in time for next Chatelerhault show - know anyone with access to some garage space and a ramp for a couple of days so I could get it bolted on and a base tune uploaded until I can get to someone who know how to get most out of it?

Was it you that put the video of my car up on youtube then from that show, if so I remember talking to you at the time. See from profile you are connected with the Bruce Taxi sponsored cars that run up at Knockhill. See them up there fairly regularly through the year - am I right in saying its a woman that races the yellow one?

No idea sorry only places i really know that do V8's would ether be dreadnought or AVA turbos,yeah i think i did upload the video on youtube of your car when you started it.

yeah laura normally drives the yellow one but they are down to one car just now so everyones driving that,the evo 7 should be back on track by the end of next month though if everything goes well.
