Spotted: Red VXR in Portsmouth this morning?

Any of you guys/gals in here?

Travelling along the M27 and off at Southsea (Portsmouth East) turn off.

Nice car!! I was travelling on the Repsol Fireblade

If it's an '06 VXR then I keep seeing it on the '27 as well. No idea who it is though.

I got a lovely view of the roof coming past on the Seafront (private) road!!!!!

It's this guy.... 06HSV....

Didn't really have time to check the reg as it was a rather heated encounter. I spent a lot of time checking out the clouds as the bike was pointing that way anyway.

Great car though, and fantastic sound. It looked like it had a lot of body roll through the corners though, I suppose there is a lot of weight to hussle around.

We had a bit of a high end challenge from 100 leptons, I dropped from 6th to 4th on the Blade and accelerated at warp speed 10 to 177 leptons (Private footpath) and gained about 1/4 of a mile on said vehicle. Nice to see that there are still people out there who enjoy their vehicles.

Great weather too.

Just on a parting note, I am still smiling now, Mr VXR, you made my day.

I set off at 5.30am this morning to go and see the sea before work. Got into work at 8.20 grinning like a cheshire cat.

What sort of money can you get an HSV or Monaro for now, we are considering changing the Elise soon and something a little more practical (oxymoron?)? After hearing that noise, it has got to be worth a look.

You could probably pick up a 2004 VXR for £20k now. 2004 CV8s start at around £15k

Used to see this guy every morning on the way to Pumpy... Glad to see things haven't changed...
