[rocklandboy]

Anybody here?

Was it a cv8 z? Saw one heading down A11 at about 7.40. He was going good.

Didnt get to see it close up but i did see a VXR boot spoiler but its not to say the car was a VXR...

[sneakygloworm]

There seems to be a spate of big aussie v8 on the a47/a11 at the mo. Blue cv8, red cv8z, black VXR, Black r8 and saw a red vxr a month or two ago but not seen it since. Seems to be a few of these cars in this area that are not on here.

I done a search on Hartwells site this morning to see if it was going on their forecourt but it wasn't but they did have a blue CV8 for sale but that had a sold banner across the ad... Think you're right bud, there seems to be a few lurking in outback of Norfolk... As you know i saw a red VXR a couple of weeks back but they didn't reply either...

Hot sure if u are saying you saw a vxr8, if so that would be me, in shiny red,

The Blue CV8 is my old Monaro. Traded for a VXR8 LS3.

How come you came to Norwich for the trade in? Was the dealer at Kings Lynn not closer?

Hartwells at Norwich had what I was looking for a VXR8 LS3 auto in Heron White at a good price. I was going to have a look at Loughborough but heard some bad reports and they wanted another £1-2K for the VXR8's. Hartwells did a good deal apart from trying to sell you lots of addons you don't want. They told me they has sold 22 VXR8's during Vauxhall's pre reg frenzy.
They seem to have sold my CV8 pretty quick and with a good mark up!
Love the VXR8 after the first 1000 miles, but it is more thirsty than the Ro (20 v 22 mpg).

I'm surprised there hasn't been more of an influx of Ro's around Norwich at that rate on the basis that I would say its a good bet that most new R8 owners were born and breed on the Ro's 1st...

[louthmonaro]

They told me they had taken 8 Ro's in p/ex for VXR8's, so some new owners.

county hall roundabout,

didnt have a lot of joy with hartwells myself even though i work next door to them, got mine from wales £4k cheaper, plus the red one at norwich for sale I saw had a deep chip on the N/S/R Door, and putting them on the spot they addmitted they knew about it and would repair it, a shame they never made me aware of the damage to start with, i guess thinking i would not noticed the damage, I will never go there again after that experience.
