Hi all,

I thought it was about time I stopped lurking, joined up and said hello!

I am the lucky (no pun intended Pete!) owner of X8 GTR, which I acquired from RustiEvo last year, and haven't stopped grinning since...

I am live near Newcastle Upon Tyne, so if there are any fellow owners in the area it would be good to hook up.

Am hoping to get to Stoneleigh tomorrow or Monday, so maybe see some of you guys there.....

Howdy Matt,

It's great to see you have turned up on here. How fantastic it must be to have lovely empty roads where you are to enjoy the car!

My new car X18 GTR (the evil, nasty version of X8) is nearly finished and it would be great to meet up and photo both cars togethercloud9

Happy days

Hi Matt,

Welcome aboard!! I do hope you are looking after her??

She likes to be taken upto 170mph at several times a week and thrown around a track at least once a month!! Do that and she'll give you years of good service!!

I say, what has Cross been putting on his cornflakes? His last race was an excellent result? Say hello to him for me. byebye

Anything you need to know about X8's non std items jut drop me a mail.

I'm actually missing her a bit now. frown

Welcome Matt

I don't make many posts on here, as I don't have too many inteligent thoughts or solutions. I am however the proud owner of another of Stuart's "hand me down" cars. Questions is Stuart, how long will you keep the next one?

Hi Stuart,

It would be great to meet up with both cars. When do you think yours will be on the road? I like the numberplate...

Happy days indeed!

Pete - this happens. I still have an LS powered Ultima itch that needs scratching. New garage at home is mid-build with nice little workshop at the back, ideal for such a project - can you blag me any LFA parts .... scratchchin

wink

PS. Welcome Matt! As said, Pete's car is definitely a 'goodun'
