I first saw a Monaro when I was at Millbrook on a works trip. I was luck enough to get a passenger ride in one and taken around the bowl and on the handling circuit. Doing 170 at the top of the banking, four up, aircon on, in a comfortable seat followed by a mainly sideways lap around the handling circuit. The driver said it was one of the most entertaining cars he had driven. Said I would get one when they were about 4 or 5 years old and could afford one.
I found a 2004 VXR eleven years ago, a few mods at Monkfish and 80k miles later it is still used as a daily in the summer months and has completed a few trackdays and roadtrips around europe.
Fantastic smile What mileage are you on now?
