Enjoy! (Red is the fastest colour, you know)
Welcome to the forum, that looks like a nice car you have there.
Just incase you are unaware, your car is a Holden VZ CV8 Monaro. Vauxhall brought 142 of those into the country, and only 34 of those were Red. Over the years a few of those will sadly have been written off, so you really do have quite a rare car.
This was a very busy forum once, however people do still use it when they get stuck with an issue of some kind. There is also some activity on face book by all accounts.
Enjoy your car in the sunny weather.

That car looks like it's in exceptional condition. It must be one of the best late model red cv8s in the country.... just like mine.
That £550 a year road tax must hurt a bit though, I got the lower rate with my 05 plate.
Still, never mind, you won't see many 56 plates and with less than 30k on the clock. You have a great car there

when on my trip to wales I was going through a very built up area with buildings really close to the road I could hear a very slight ticking noise seemed to increase and decrease with road speed (sticking to limit ofc) it was barely noticeable sounded like a pepple stuck in the treads but there wasn't one I checked tyres any ideas ?

The road tax sends me into a nuclear melt down, it beggars belief that something so simple has been made a complete mess. Anyway I keep my car off the road for winter, so in the end it's worth it. I wonder what the next tax system will be like?
