Hello Chaps, Autocar Magazine want to do a buying guide to the Monaro. Need to chat to owners about their experiences plus we need to take some snaps of your cars ideally at a friendly HSV dealer, but not essential. This will be a 4 page spread and as ever we do need to get sorted in the next week or so. You can email me, James Ruppert direct at [e-mail] Thanks James

Any idea of where its going to take place ?? i.e. north/south/east/west ??

[ruppspeed]

It depends on where the cars are really. If there are a couple of cars near each other then it doesn't matter. Had one reply from Kent so at the moment its Kent! I live in Norfolk and nowhere ever seems to be near there...

I do. PM sent.

Think you have a few owners near you so you may be lucky!

[SimonV8ster]

Well theres 4 (maybe 5?) Monaros in Worthing and as everybody knows it is the highlight of the south coast.

Think Rocklandboy is Norfolk way and there are some others that way - theres also a few in Kent but they are currently being invaded by some larger/bulkier saloons.

I'd like to say thanks a huge bunch for responding so quickly to my request. I've now got quite a few options to pass onto Autocar. I think it is still important to speak to enthusiasts like yourselves as that's what the car is all about. I will keep you all posted on what we do and where we do it.

Thanks again James

you could come to the next Meet. there would be plenty of owners there.

[ruppspeed]

Is that the one on the 20th? It just depends on Autocar's deadlines.

Best regards

James

[the_ferret82]

you are correct there

[ruppspeed]

A big thanks to everyone who got back to me really quickly offering their cars for a shoot for Autocar. because of deadlines and all that mad stuff they decided that it would be better to do it at Monkfish on Wednesday morning.Looking forward to it as I've been impressed by the sky high enthusiasm level of all Monaro owners...Thanks again James

When you say quad pipes do they look very much standard 6litre vxr quad pipes or a fair bit bigger?

[Build394]

I've just measured them and each one of the pipes is 3 inch wide so yep they are a lot bigger. They only just fit in the cut out.
