well as they say in the text book "any publicity is good publicity".

julius cesar pretty much bankrupted himself chasing publicity.
they say kengis khans dna strand can be found in in something like 1 in a 1000 men
all im trying to is avoid the debt and get a few more of the 1 in a 1000 into monaros

Hi Simon.

It's great to see that more dealers are showing an interest in Pistonheads, of the four Vauxhall dealers I worked for, none of them had a clue.

Give Graham my regards when you see him next.

Wayne (aka Turboman)

thanks mate

Simon,
Purchased my Red VXR from Graham in Dec 06, picked it up just befor Xmas, as you say "what a car".
In Jan 07 I had the full exhaust and ECU fitted by Picador, and on my way down to pick it up I said to myself will this make much of a difference, well I go to the foot of my stairs, it's fantastic and what great service.
I see that you have a NEW 2007 VXR500 for sale in Red, could be very intrested, does it have full spec ?????
I have never had a car that gives me such fun and gets the blood pumping so fast, will need to do the sums as the next thing for sure is some BIG brakes to stop the thing but if there was a deal out there I could be VERY intrested.
By the way mine has done 2000 miles.
Look foward to hearing from you.
Regards
Andy.

Andy, surely you'd be better getting the supercharger fitted to your existing car?

unless it is a second hand sale it is not a real VXR500...........maybe that enthusiasm is back.

If any one wants to know if a car advertised for sale is a real VXR500 it is best to contact Greens Vauxhall or our us as we both have the VIN numbers and spec recorded of all Vauxhall VXR500's

Hi Simon,

Welcome to the nut house! silly

AFAIK I ordered the very first Monaro to come through Picador, and it's been nowhere else for work or servicing since new - and it's had one or two things done to it in that time

I'm allowed to plug Picador as I don't work there

May be in touch soon for a change of diff oil. LSD isn't very LS any more...

Cheers! driving
Ian

ENTHUSIASM ffs.. Now stop asking!!!!

welcome aboard sunshine... we aussies did more than just tinker with it, we invented it! Keep smilin.... gonna be a good year to be a VXR(HSV) salesman... see how many old ducks who walk in looking for a corsa shopping trolley you can convince to go for a test drive in one of the Holdens?? Much more fun selling cars with edge, spirit & a convict past than ones with pin stripe suits & phd's!
