My mates dad is the top bloke at vauxhalls transporting.........whatever...........don't really know what he does :rolleyes:

Any ways he always shows me the nice new cars he gets and i'm normaly not that interested

Today thou was different :D I hear this roaring v8 coming down my road and i thought it was a jag or something :smash: but i look out my window to see the new Vauxhall (holdon) Manaro 5.7 V8 sitting out side 333bhpfor god sake, now let me tell you with the traction control off (VSC) she goes sideways very nicley due to standard lsd!, i would have one to be honest :eek:

I have taken some pictures just need to get them up most likly do it tomorrow now.

aussia cars are cool

if i had the cash id import a ford falcon xr8

if you like the aussie v8's check out v8 super cars or the nations cup!

in some magazine they did a test of the monaro and compared it to a heavily modified one cant remeber what its specs were but it was fast as feck

Had a drive in one last year and they are definately creamworthy :nod:

The traction control is on, on automatically and it takes some getting used to at first. My initial reaction was to fight against it and I ended up doing some amzing drifting :eek:
scared the shit out of me but I'm used to it now.

awesome arent they??

with a bit of luck and usual vauxhall crap marketing, and that fact it's a vauxhall(holden really), it should have huge depreciation and you'll find them for about 8 grand on vauxhall forecourts within 2 and a half years :)

By the sounds of it, he's 'running-in' the cars for customers :D
Wouldn't say no myself either.
