Finally joined the fraternity

Good morning all,

About 18 months ago I decided it was time I needed a V8 back in my life having sold the TVR 350i I had.
I knew it had to also be family friendly now, as well as have the same sense of 'family' as in the TVR forums on PH. A Monaro was the only choice.

Well yesterday I took the plunge and so far I'm smitten!

Welcome

That blue really suits Monaros. If it's the one with lpg from the Medway area, it used to belong another PHer (who bought a Monaro vxr iirc), and was LOUD last time I heard it

Congratulations and welcome to the madhouse

Don't think it is Marks one as I am sure he had ap brakes on his

[rivercar1981]

It does have the Medway LPG fitted and it is very loud still. I was also informed it was Marks.

I'd like to know more about its history and past really if anyone knows how to contact him?

It seems a well cared for example.

Welcome

It looks a little lower than standard too, looks like a very tidy example, I'm sure you'll enjoy it

Hi Matt (Rivercar1981)
Email replied!!
Yes it was my car, yes it was very loud , no it didn't have AP's (though did have VXR brakes) and it wasn't lowered, on standard suspension with front and rear end pacs done.
Hopefully the email contained everything you wanted to know about the car, give me a shout if anything else. Forgot to mention (though you probably noticed), the wheels were also refurb'd at Lepsoms in Gillingham in Carr's Anthracite.
