I'm a newbie to the V8 game so I couldn't give any constructive advice as of yet,but I think that if you have reasonable budget then you should be able to find a well sorted car.I was interested in a red VXR with 22,000 miles on it up in Bedford on GayBay and as far as I know it's still available.....looks really nice
I would guess that you probably wouldn't need a super charged model as by the looks of the cars on Youtube,they all seem to be able to light the tyres up with ease
Also I think Robsey has been using one of his as a taxi...I stand corrected if this is incorrect
Go on treat yourself.....you only live once and why leave it to your wife/kids/government etc I'm joining the too much fun club
