I'm current over in the US and drive a Pontiac GTO, same thing as a Vauxhall VXR, but considering moving to the UK. I'd take the GTO w/ me so I figured I'd say hello to the monaro community.

my GTO started out as an '05 LS2 car but is now a twin turbo LS3. did all the work myself, except machining the block and the tune. took some time but well worth it. should have a dyno tune done soon once the weather cools down. no fun doing a dyno run in 110 degree heat wink

Welcome, Tom. Just what we needed, another yellow TT car. :-) You'll have to post some pics up.

I'll get some pics up later tonight. The outside of the car looks stock but I might have to do a good photoshoot with it soon. Haven't taken pics of it for a while.

No way! then my girlfriend would have the wheel and pedals infront of her! wink

If the LHD bothers me too much I might just do that. I think I can tough it out though. I've spent a fair amount of time so driving on the left shouldn't be an issue.
