[Mr Skrunts]

you tried a Monaro yet? would be about 10k cheaper for one of those!

Couldnt think of the name before, out of the 2 I prefer the looks of the Monaro.

[Danny]

without realising it albatross, you've just placed the value of your mig at around £17, so if you need a buyer feel free to PM me

Yeah, I drove two of those today too. The standard Monaro was horrible IMHO and the Monaro VXR, whilst it had the oomph, had no class and was horrible.

I wouldn't change my Omega for a Monaro now that I've seen the difference. Now a VXR8, that's a different kettle of fish altogether.

[Kate]

Well this would get you noticed at least!

Ironically enough Kate, this is the Monaro 5.7 litre that I drove today..

Exactly the same colour; it is a really hideous yellow. I don't mind yellow cars with a nice paint tone, but this colour is just the same as the old BT vans used to be. Really looks dated and cheap.

Even more ironically, I come from around Kyle of lochalsh originally and I know that car from Kyleakin. It is not a great example. And just a little tip NEVER buy a car from the West Highlands of Scotland; the salt in the air wrecks the bodywork and chassis very quickly. That car on your link will have aged 4 years for every one down here.

Yeah, I drove two of those today too. The standard Monaro was horrible IMHO and the Monar VXX, whilst it had the oomph, had no class and was horrible.

I wouldn't change my Omega for a Monaro now that I've seen the difference. Now a VXR8, that's a different kettle of fish altogether.

Fair comment, having driving neither of them I am in no place to comment.

Based on looks alone, I think the VXR8 looks far too American like the current Ford muscle cars.

I'll go to £20  [smiley=thumbup.gif]

Even the 6.0 VXR was horrible?  :-/

I sat in one several years ago now, i found the seats super comfy. What did you not like about it?

VXR8 is growing on my but i still prefer the looks of the Monaro VXR

[ngrainqey]

If you gave me a VXR8 it would have to be a grey one.  

me 2

i'v ridden in a 4.6 V8 (1994 mercury cougar)

i wouldnt say no to either tunnie but if i was having a monaro i'd rather have that black VXR 500

[cem_devecioglu]

imho, all v8 are "real" gas guzzlers ..so practically they are out the

window even in my dreams ! for some time  

[Phil]

Forget the Monaro, for the same price you can get a HSV GTS-R

Same engine and running gear with 4 door practicallity (but possibly not with that colour leather!!).

what about the chrysler v8 hemi-300C ?
that uses 4 cylinders most of the time till you boot it!
