Spotted Red R8 Wokingham High Street

[fletch78]

Trundled past as I was sat in Nandos

I know that there are definitely 2 black R8s in Wokingham plus several others and somne Monaros in the vicinity but never seen a red one here.

Must be visiting

I've seen this one around quite a few times in and around Crowthorne. I posted in the Thames Valley spotted thread and didn't get a reply so I'm assuming they're not on here.

lol. They say that the best form of flattery is imitation, and HSV were using the 'R8 Clubsport' moniker long before Audi decided to nick it.

Nice car BTW, I wouldn't say "No"

Oh ok sorry for intruding your lovely forum section..... :-)

Two mistakes in one post... A record....lol

BTW - Are Vauxhall still making Monaro's or have they stopped now?

The Monaro finished in '05 (though some were registered in 07). The HSV R8 Clubsport was then imported as the VXR8 - basically a 4 door Holden Commodore with a bit more muscle. The latest incarnation is the GenF VXR8 GTS, which has (at least) 560bhp from a supercharged LSA (6.2 litre) engine. There are two so far in Surrey, one white and one orange, so be careful when you take on 'family' saloons with spoilers.

Keep seeing a black one in Finchampstead near me, but have never had a response so guessing he isn't on here either.
I'm yet to have a spotted, closest was a wave from a TVR owner when I started it up in front of him at the Shell in Wokingham!

Fletch, I'm no stalker but do you live on Waverley Way? I see a blue CV8 parked up at one of the houses on that road and keep forgetting to ask the question on here.
