good to have another owner up here, if you're near Dunfermline then there's a Vauxhall Drivers Club group meet there last Sunday of every month - in the beefeater type place just off the m90. At least one VXR8 owner there - not sure if paul450 from here has started going along as well. they attend a lot of stuff at knockhill through the year as well.

Welcome.

What one you getting, 04, 05, CV8, VXR?

Even if it's too wet to play, you'll still enjoy the driving back.
