After first seeing and thinking of buying my first Monaro a couple of years I've now gone and bought one !!

Picked her up last Tuesday and spent most of the time so far trying to make it fit in the garage !! Well I took the day off today to have a clear out and finished giving her a good clean inside and out -

Its a 2005 CV8 with a few extras gladly put on and paid for by others -







Shes got VXR brakes, ripshifter, full Wortec incl headers, remap, etc, CAPA lowered suspension and response pack fitted.

Its also still got Dragonballs Elvis Presley Love Songs CD in it hehe

When I was out today I got stopped by the men working in the local dump who got out of their huge scooping equipment and truck to have a look, all the employees at the local car wash and a young housewife who thought the colour was 'nice'. I'm going to have to remember to add a few minutes onto each trip I think scratchchin

Allegedly biggrin

I'm off to see Mark in 2 weeks to sort the wiring for a new LC-1 & the boost/temp gauge.

No doubt I'll need your assistance with EFI - possibly an upgrade. I'll drop you a PM Richard.
