Well could have waited until next year, extended ULEZ zone pending, have been pondering for a few weeks now, whether to wait or not...... so anyway, soon all going well will be a proud owner of a VXR8 6.2 LS3 2007 plate :y

The bucket list car was the monaro originally, but VXR8 now for obvious reasons :y

Excellent choice!
I prefer the looks of the monaro (I might be the only one ;D) but as you say, the VXR8 is a better car.

Having done another search found one up north of Leeds have made them an offer lower than the asking price and waiting to hear back :y

Yep.....you're a long time dead.
Also, with 4 seats it will be a practical proposition. So what is not to like. :y
An added bonus is that it won't be killing the planet and all the black babies in Africa because it runs on a fuel designed by God rather than Satan. :)
-
The advert says 6.0 rather than the latter 6.2.
These cars hold their value well. :y
-
That will cut a dash down The Old Kent Road :y

Yep.....you're a long time dead.
Also, with 4 doors and 5 seats it will be a practical proposition. So what is not to like. :y

Was originally looking at a 6.2 one, but then found that one, done the deal deposit paid got it for £14,500, insurance is just under £100 more than what I pay for the omega, the omega is now listed in for sale section;
Pick the car up next Friday all being well, nice run back to London from Harrogate :y, try not to get any speeding tickets ;D

As OOF is like the Hotel California, you always come back, get onto the VXR8 & Monaro facebook forum as well Mike. Excellant knowledge and help there, just like here. Went to a meet up at Saffend seafront last saturday night. We then had a noisy procession along the front and through the town to a fish and chip establishment oppisite the Sainsburys where some more noise was made :o. Quite a few of the owners were older than both of us two ;D

Looks tasty :y

Is this supercharged or N/A?
-
No not supercharged

No not supercharged yet.
FTFY :y

I have a 6.2 LS3 supercharged VXR8,tuned by Luis Sola,but at 650 BHP......believe me that's really enough! I 'accidently' spun the wheels at 80mph during an overtake.....brown trouser moment....never to be repeated :o

Is this the car presented in a shade of green only found in an LSD trip? :D ;)
-
Guilty as charged,but soon to be de wrapped back to the fastest colour...black. ::)

I have to also point out the only reason I am changing cars is due to the ULEZ change next year, zone being extended and the omega not meeting the emission's, could have waited until next year, but that aside never thought I would ever be selling the car and always planned on keeping the omega. But now it will be going back to where it originally came from and to a collector of omega's. So I am pleased about that, car sold :y

Yours is a 2.6 that was tweaked by Mark wasn't it?
What's odd is the 3.2's don't get charged under ULEZ but the 2.6's do :-\

Yes thats the one, ported 3 litre cams, engine rebuilt, lambda sensors rebossed and moved back from the cats to stop the common EML issue arising, and a couple of other changes :y

I know very little about a 'wrap'
How much does this cost?.......Is it easy to peel off?
-
Vinyl wrap......apparently this one was £2k....going to be £300 to remove it,plus any paint correction afterwards.....ouch! Just seen a very nice Holden Senator.....think there's a p/x deal to be had,more in keeping with my age...now to old to be the fastest boy racer in town. ::)

A while ago I saw a Porsche 911 parked by the side of the road and what a rusty dirty heap of shit it was too! :o ::)
On closer examination it had a rusty dirty heap of shit 'wrap'. :D Someone with more money than sense obviously! ::) ;D
It was very well done though I have to admit. :y

Is that one of the late Senators Ken? Seen an advertising trailer for the Aussie market of one in black. Stunning looking car and I am not a fan of black cars
