[carlhodg]

picked up my sting red Monaro cv8 yesterday and man am I in love they sound awesome n go like hell

took for first run today to Conwy wales and the drive was fun and also hit 30mpg for whole journey there and back approx. 240 miles

wow thanks I didn't realise it I did pay quite a bit of money for it as it had one previous owner with 28k miles on it from https://www.dtperformancecars.co.uk/

they guy Daniel whos owns and runs the place is a really nice guy and has some very sweet rides and they are all premium motors as you would expect from a performance trader

it turns out it's the 354bhp standard model I did some checking it has the electronic throttle body damn and its had the monkfish performance pack on it too god only knows the bhp now

thanx for the warm welcome and posts

[carlhodg]

thanks for the compliment but lets face it if you own a Monaro a few extra £ in tax a year is least of your worries

when on my trip to wales I was going through a very built up area with buildings really close to the road I could hear a very slight ticking noise seemed to increase and decrease with road speed (sticking to limit ofc) it was barely noticeable sounded like a pepple stuck in the treads but there wasn't one I checked tyres any ideas ?

sadly yes

I was paying £540 for a dodge nitro TD I really don't mind the £15 extra for the soundtrack

what gets me tough is someone pays no tax and does 20k miles ayear and if you do say 2-5k in a Monaro whos ruining roads and environment more ?
