is that when you upgrade to the VXR8 you realise what you were missing.

....Is that when you pull the handbrake you know it doesn't resemble tube steel castoff.

That's a double negative, i.e. Not an upgrade and nothing missing...

Thanks for the vote of confidence in the Monaro!

4 doors is about the only resemblance i can see and i don’t remember the Vectra being a muscle car either but stand to be corrected... I remember reading an article when the Ro was 1st imported from Oz... Vauxhall wanted a high performance flagship and didn’t have anything to deliver with what they wanted at the time, hence the Monaro coming to the UK for a short period... Towards the end of that, along came the VXR8, it could have all been inspired from the Veccy i suppose, but at the end of the day who give a FcensoredK??? hehe

The best thingscratchchin Oh where to startscratchchin Well firstly there's the exclusivityyes Its never mistaken for a Vectranono Then there's the Power and soundcloud9 Actually there's so much i could go on forever.
One of the best bits though is the knowledge that at the next track day i'll comfortably beat the OP who has just spent £23,700 on a car that he doesn't even own hehe And whats worse is that he starts it and doesn't know he's started ityikes

I love my Monaro

Thats all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Our Ro's never been mistaken for a Calibra although that wouldn't worry me as much as a Vectra. At least the Calibra were rare and i loved themcloud9

Your right about cost of car plus mods Stig yikes Its cost a fair bit now, but the question is how much would it cost you (after rent)to get your Vecky to go as fast and sound as good as our Roscratchchin

For all the mods you'd need there's Mastercard
The look on your face when i still beat you, Priceless
