If you need another pair of hands, like to see this trapping being done  :)

I've got a pile of about 100 bricks, be very interested to see what you are doing  :y

Not too sure just yet, but something along the lines of this:

I think I have the metalwork for one of those languishing in the shed. Not going to get round to using it myself, so it's free to a good home - if it hasn't rotted away by now. ;D

A mate of mine has a pizza oven. I'm not jealous at all. ::)

£40k? I'd spend that on this if I wanted a fast V8..

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201309048626934/sort/default/usedcars/postcode/gu153au/transmission/manual/price-from/40000/page/1/make/aston_martin/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew/radius/1500?logcode=p

*drool*  :P

No flappy paddle junk either, 3 pedals and a manual gear box. Job jobbed!  8)

£40k plus £30k servicing ;D

Get a tidy VXR8 for £15k, leaving £55k for petrol, tyres and clutches ::)

Too chav-tastic the VXR8 really, not very nice to look at either, inside or out.

The Monaro and VXR8 hold their value surprisingly well for a Vx product. Much better than my CLS.

As someone else mentioned, its partly because what they are worth in parts alone. Plus they where pretty cheap to begin with for what they are.Alot of car/engine for the money

30k 'maintaining it'  :o

that would have me crying
     
               Exactly what I thought, must have had a lot wrong with it, better off without it, my Mig has cost less than a thousand in all the time i've had it !!

how long have you had it?     
                               2.6 CDX Bought December 2010, fully serviced inc cambelt, I have had 1 set of tyres , new front pads, 2 pairs of wipers  all new filters recently & 1 headlight bulb & 5 oil & filter changes  all bills add up to £ 874.83. Best buy I have ever had out of all the cars I've had have covered 35,000 miles since owning it & has never missed a beat.

Nope but been in a Monaro and see plenty of VXR8s, if possble i would have a Monaro, but VXR8 is an ugly bugger really. Its got worse the newer they are

Monaro is a perfectly good car, but a bit plain, much like the Omega...

Nothing says 'Opps off, ya big Jessie' like a VXR8 or Camaro, and that is the appeal :y

Actually pretty accomplished on the road too. Not BMW or Jag refined, but very drivable nonetheless 8)

I certainly wouldn't kick a late VE 'R8 off the drive, especially a white or dark grey one...

Monaro has the fundamental flaw of 2 doors. Big doors. Hence, my preference would be a VXR8, but the later ones are a bit too chavtastic for me.

Says he with a chavtastic Omega ;D

Does depend on the colour too, dark grey looks good whereas yellow is a bit garish :y
