I've really gone and done it now.

I'm told there comes a time your life when you have to stand up and throw a building society cheque on the table and buy a Monaro. Well, I've done it and here I am with a red cv8 350 just in time for Christmas.
Work is going to be a bit nuts until the New Year, but where do you guys meet up? I live in North East London.
Do you do the summer car shows?

welcome mate and well done for going for it
Iam sure u will fit right in here
Thanks very much for the welcome and I look forward to meeting up with you soon.
My 'Ro' (I think I'm getting the hang of this) is completely standard, but my insurance includes provision for a performance exhaust. I've got to get that done straight after the New Year 'cause I'm just not getting the V8 music yet.
The joys of shift work mean that I won't get to go for a blast until my next day off on Monday. I've only had it a week but it could do with a buff and I'll take some photos

congrats on the new joy you wont regret it..
there is a few in your area. me im in stevenage.
Thanks to all of you for the warm welcome. I managed to get myself a RO "fix" today...Whoopee! It's just completely different to driving anything else. The battery keeled over at the first sign of frost, but I got one with a 3 year warranty from Vauxhall for £60. I would've been quite happy to pay twice that to get something a bit more butch, but the battery tray is so small and the battery cables don't seem like they're long enough to take a taller battery. Anyway, here's a couple of pictures of my Ro as promised. Please excuse the pants quality of my camera phone.
You can see my garage door open in the background. I had the old garage taken down because it was too small for a Ro, and had the new one built especially to take the car (that's dedication for you). I'll be putting my private plate on in the new year... which'll be nice.
