Hi guys, potential Monaro owner wondering if there are any local get togethers to have a good nosey round your motors. Contemplating chopping the S2000 in for a fast 4 seater wink

Cheers
MM

PS - anyone on here have the red Monaro VXR seen travelling eastbound on the A689 close to Wynyard on (I think) Monday evening about 18:30'ish?? Looked the mutts. Is red the fastest colour then?

yeah, that red one was bought from Bristol Street motors apparently.. Don't know how they actually managed to sell a car... If it starts with M666*** that is the one I see around all the time, but haven't caught up with them. Must live up that way.. don't know where this W place is.. will have to check it out on the map..

Didn't catch the reg..... Too much of a blur as it went past wink

I'm another fellow North Eastener!

I live in Ingleby Barwick just outside of Yarm.

Hopefully the owner of a red 6.0L VXR next month so I will most certainly be up for meeting up when something is arranged and I have my VXR, fingers crossed.

Another north east/Cleveland area owner
Red CV8 with 05 bonnet + other mods

Greg, haven't forgotten about my offer - but with both the weather and work, hasn't been a good time.
Would probably be best for me if we meet at the A19/Crathorne junction - for both of us - maybe some point next week (Tuesday? - if weather ok)
PM me if interested

Maybe a north east meet could happen, with Raggyman,jimbo coming down to Chester - le Street, Durham area and maybe if Magicgreg has sorted him self out by then, those in the Yorkshire area coming up. ( there is Johnn22 just outside york aswell). Maybe beggining September so everyone has time to sort it out?

Anyone up for that?

Sounds good. 4 weeks should be enough time to sort something out and get it booked into the calendar properly.

Count me in, hopefully I will have my car by then, even if I haven't found the right motor by then I'll probs tag along anyway in my current motor.

Iain, I've got a packed schedule next week I'm afraid, so it would have to be after that, no worries though, if you find some free time whenever just give me a shout and I will try and fit in around you.

I wouldn't mind popping along if you don't mind an outsider. Would be good to have a chat with current owners to get the full craic.

I might be looking for a new motor after some dickhead in an astra sideswiped me on the dual carriageway this morning. Set me spinning across 2 lanes and what looks like rear suspension damage and the whole of the pass side in the S2000.

I'd like to make one in, just over an hour from sunny Wakefield. Be good to see everyone, Monaro's a bit thin round these parts.

Theirs a black 06 or 56 6.0 VXR in Hartlepool which see occassionally but does live in the town.

See the Silver 6.0 VXR on the A19 alot, theirs also a blue CV8 that see on the A66 and another Black 6.0 VXR going through preston farm area quite often so should be enough cars around for a meet!
