There's even enough change to put 10 miles worth of petrol in it! :D ;D
If it ain't broke keep fixing it 'til it is!

Monaro CV8, 5.7 LS1. The brakes are rubbish for the power, but good to see it has the AP's upgrade. I wouldn't wana be behind it too close if it breaks sharp :-[

A lot car for your ££££ :) :y

Me love it long time. Yes they give me a feeling in the trouser region which I rarely get these days  ;D

I actually get quite annoyed by the owner of a certain red in Bishopstoke near Eastleigh in Hampshire. It allmost seems to be abandoned, it half on the road half on the pavement on quite a busy road for traffic and pedestrians. So I would imagine it gets shopping bags scraped along it and possibly its door mirror broken off occasionally. Seems such a waste.  :(

That's a real shame as there's just a hand full left now.....CV8 Models imported to the UK by VX was only 142 in 2005.

I'd have one, if only insurance was a bit more reasonable  :'(

That's what you get for being a whippersnapper  ;D
Just done a quote for the missus & myself on the ebay Monaro and it came out at £545.93 for fully comp cover, although the field for vehicle valuation was automatically filled in at £7600.
All we have to work out now is which child to sell so we can afford tyres & petrol  ;D

If I had the £8k to buy it I wouldn't have to pay any more at all to insure it :-X ;)
Whatever it is... I didn't do it

The missus turns 38 on Saturday, she won't be too impressed to hear that qualifies as old  :)

No offence intended, but means there is green light ahead for V8 power. Guess it must drop quite a bit 30+
