Me lovely Carbon VXR8 is about to go up for sale....cry



Not sorting Mr Tax Man quick enough so she has to go...weeping

Spoke to a local chap who I've bought some cars through before to see if he wants it cash but if not then I'll be posting it on Piston Heads and seeing if she sells or not!

If anyone is seriously interested, let me know.

I'm still up for shakey 4th July if I have the car so will let you know.

As an aside, re the separate air con thread back in April I noted at the time my air con belt kept falling off under varied engine speeds (ste tensioner I thought). Simple job so took it to my local VXR8 approved VX dealer (Drive Bristol). Vauxhall sent them a new crank pulley, tensioner and belt. They kept it a day longer than I expected but jobs done and it works a treat, so far hasnt jumped off again so I'm hoping thats the end of it! I was pleasantly surprised that Vauxhall stumped up for the job in the current climate, though they only paid Drive for 1.5 hours labour even though it was apparently a bh of a job due to zero space to get the main pulley off smile
