Any Monaros in the Gloucester area?
Discussion
So first of all hi to all, I scan the forums a lot but never really post until today!
Currently I've got a 350Z Roadster which i've had for a couple of years now and its time for a change. Been seriously looking at a Ro but need to have a chat to a someone whos had one for a while on the local roads to see how they've got on with it. There used to be one at the end of our road in Quedgeley which got me interested (mainly due to the sound) but I dont see it around anymore so guess the guy's sold it now.
Are there any peeps with one in the Glos/Tewkesbury/Bristol area that fancy meeting up to pass an hour or so? ...anyone looking to PX for 350Z?
Cheers, The Hoff

better looks with the vxr8 
welcome mate
OP if you want to pop to swindon it is a vxr8 i have but they are similar in theory though the r8 does handle differently obviously.
BTW are you on 350z-uk.com, used to be on there, I sold my 350z for a monaro back in 2005/6...
Thanks for the replies guys.
stigmundfreud - Yes I am on 350z-uk.com, joined about 6 months before buying the Z to research what to buy, same as on here really. How was your conversion to a Ro from the Z? Wildly different I know but still interested on how you got on.
Its will definately be a Ro with a budget of around £16-£18k at a push, the R8 at just too much of a strech to get one. I am looking at a lovely black supercharged Ro on the classifieds at the mo but I cant sell mine till the spring at least when the weather is better and more people want a Roadster.

OP
I've had my Monaro VXr for a year now and also had a CV8 for two years before that. Always been used as my daily driver so am only too happy to share my experiances (nearly all are good by the way
)
I'm in Cheltenham every weekend and the OH has family members in quedgley so could always drop her off there and meet up if wanted?

The ro is much bigger, has four seats and has a lot more shove. The Z is by far the better drivers car in every respect but the ro is just a different sort of car. I loved the Ro, kept it for 3 years which is a life time for me but I loved the Zed more in retrospect. The ro is far more customisable, tuning etc if thats your thing but the zed was an over all better drivers package. I took the Zed over a new e46 M3 at the time as it only lost out on outright power but had a 20k saving thrown in! Zed, loved it, Ro loved it, transition you'll love it. Recently made a rev4 350z look like it was standing still over a standing mile but dont get me wrong, the 350z is still a very quick car just a very different car. If you are looking to move on, the Ro will not be a disappointmentstigmundfreud - Yes I am on 350z-uk.com, joined about 6 months before buying the Z to research what to buy, same as on here really.
