Another Supercharged Ro bites the dust :(
Discussion
well after nearly a year of ownership my immaculate Supercharged Black LS2 VXR Monaro has been written off. Driving at about 30 mph on a very dark very wet country lane I swerved to avoid a deer onto what I though was a verge, thinking it was the safer bet but unfortunately it wasn't a verge it was a ditch filled to the brim with water from all the rain we had had. The insurance company have been very good but the car was a total loss although doesnt have that much damage. I have kept the salvage as it isnt that badly damaged and I will break it as I want the engine to put into my new project and there are lots of other nice bits on it. I loved the Monaro, it was one of the few cars that I have owned that would put a smile on my face every time I drove it.
And the noise! well at least that will live on in a new slightly different car!

So sorry to read that ...
bad times mate but definately a better choice than hitting the deer.
Driving my van home late one night there was a car around a 1/4 mile ahead of me. Suddenly all I saw was headlights, tail lights, head lights etc etc. Turns out he had hit a deer and when I stopped I couldn't make out what car it was but the engine was practically torn from the chassis

NO but hoping the spoiler will keep the car on the tarmac
I really like the back of the CV8s, it looks very clean and well proportioned, not sure if the spoiler would make it look a little top heavy?Could be wrong though, I couldn't make much out in Mr KD's pictures to make a judgement.
I've seen an HSV Coupe (so a VXR basically) with the spoiler removed, and I couldn't decide whether it looked cooler or not!
