Would anyone be kind enough to let me have a look around one of your cars?I *think* I'm going to go for a 6.0 VXR,but haven't had the chance to see one up close.
I don't quite have enough to buy one yet,so I don't want to waste some private sellers time.Also I'd like to see one without being pestered to buy the thing at a 'just today special deal', at a dealer who knows nothing about them.
If no-one can be arsed thats fine,just thought I'd ask!

Using our new 'Where are all the Monaro owners' map we can deduce that there may not be too many in that area although I'm sure somebody is going to help out. thumbup

Onwers locations

There are two red Monaro VXRs in near me as well, but I don't think they're on here.

AJ,any chance I could have a look round your car?Looks fantastic,and I'm probably going to go for a supercharger at some point,so wouldn't mind getting some info off you,if it wouldn't be too much trouble.

Hi Drew, I'm based around your area, Newton le Willows to be exact. I'm running a 2004 CV8 with a few mods rather than a VXR but happy to chew the fat about the cars if you want.

That would be great,I'd like to find out as much as possible to see if they are my sort of car,as I've always had 2.0 turbo 4x4.
