Why do you want one ? Theres no main roads in Naarfik to drive it on. ;D

There may not be any motorways up here, but there are some cracking drivers roads - both for cars and bikes... :y
Certainly a damned site better than that NCP car park they call the A12... :D :P

They made the Acle straight especially for it :y
Two 2mile straights joined by a slight bend and a roundabout at each end 8) you only need to remember two things:
1. The bend halfway along, screw that up and you'll find yourself either in the Bure or the marshes.
2. Objects in the windscreen may be closer than they appear, alot closer, and travelling just as fast as you.
About the only thing they could do to slow vthat road down is to fit average speed cameras along it, if they haven't already ::), the other would be speed humps every 100yards >:(
Thinking about it, the road from Yarmouth to Cromer that passes Potter Heigham and North Walsham is fairly quick too, a former railway line iirc :y

Keep the lc , seems to be quite a few lc's for sale at the minute for some reason :-\

Insurance is the biggest killer for me, every quote I've tried is insane!
Remember when I sat in one at the Motorshow years ago, sooo comfy.
Soon as insurance drops a bit, I plan to get on, the space to work on the engine is massive, could swing a dog let alone a cat in that engine bay.

I'd love get one just to pish off Fatty, then I'd have a proper engine :D

Never mind tunnie , when all omega's have rusted away except twiglets mint black ones many of us will be old pensioners driving monaro's ;D Hopefully the boot will be big enough for the zimma frame ::) :y
-
;D might need a folding one if you buy a later Monaro :y some American muppet moved the petrol tank into the boot ::)

If it came to having a bundle of cash in hand there would be a choice , monaro or lc ::) Could it be justified having both (http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh15/nbr3bagshotrow/Smilies/Thinking.gif)

As your probably aware she's from Australia. They don't have snow & ice. More importantly they don't spread salt around by the truck load.
She's totally rust free & I want her to stay that way. I plan on keeping her for many many years :y :y
-
Pete, are the Monaro's the same as the VXR8's, in that they are not undersealed from the factory?
