Hi All,

Just thought I'd say hello. Visited here a couple of years ago when I was tempted by a Monaro. I got sidetracked by the Blue Oval for a couple of years, but I'm pleased to say I'll be picking up my black LS3 VXR8 tomorrow from James @Elite. I think sleep might be at a premium tonight!

There is little that can compare to the time when you drive your VXR8 away for the first time!

I think James is going to oblige with the pics. I'm in Rugby, so Midlands meets would be good. I'm going to venture to the Griffins Head meet in Pappelwick on Wednesday. I think the car came from Loughborough so it's sort of coming home.

Best colour and model in my unbiased opinion!

Think people are selling these things too cheap as been quite a few new owners recently.....
