Thanks to MR Red Barron and V2HSV

[The Hofff]

So I have been hoping to get up close and personal to a Monaro or Holden for a few weeks now to make sure its the car for me, I need to sell the 350Z but didnt want to rush into anything.

A couple of friendly guys contacted me and arraged to meet up with V2HSV on my way down south on Saturday with the Red Barron saying he would give me a shout when he was next in my area.

Spent a couple of hours with Eric chatting about Holdens, Monaros, engines and modifications which was great. A wealth of information and a satifying chat later, went my merry way to meet up with a couple of friends in the area. Spent the night at my parents and headed back to Gloucester only to get a text from The Red Barron (who has a silver car!! )just as I get back, 45mins later and we met up at a local pub so I could have a look at his VXR. Took me out for a spin which helped me confirm that a VXR will be the next car for me.

So thanks to Eric and Adam for sparing their time to assist a fellow petrol head. If either of you are in the Gloucester/Quedgeley area and fancy a pint... its on me

If there are any other Gloucester based people on this forum then get in touch, its always great to spend time chatting to others with similar petrol based interests!!

Hoff.

Seb is that you?

[The Hofff]

No Seb here, only Neil.

odd bumped into my old mate seb from the 350z forum the other day in Wotton, he's now based over Brize I think. He too runs a 350z and was looking to upgrade to a vxr8 or vxr. Based in Swindon

Tbh I really miss my old zed. It was fantastic and 4 years on I still miss it!

[Mr Red Barron]

Only too glad to help Neil. That 350z of yours sure sounded good when you drove off.......sure you wanna get rid of it? Oh, and thanks for showing me up......your car was gleaming.......mine hasn't been touched for weeks!

It had moved 500 yards from when I cleaned it the Friday before so was still all shiney when you saw it, covered in crap again now

Its does sounds nice but that V8 sound of yours is something that I want to own now

Give us a shout when your about next... would be interesting to do some 30mph and 60 mph rolling starts, Z vs Ro. I know who's going to win but would be intersted in seeing how much I pull away....lol

Oh the temptation to say something....

Glad you liked the spin in the Ro, it normally sells itself after a ride out.

Stigs right, there's nothing like a blast in a VXR8 to remind you just how great and sexy the Monaro is
