Keep it nice and leave it when you go.

There are literally no CTS-Vs here in the UK. I only ever saw one advertised second hand and that never re-appeared again.

I always wanted one but then the pound dropped against the dollar and it was no longer worth importing one.

Shame I can't even see the photo in work.

I'm thinking about taking it back with me. I'm planning on using it for my next track car to replace my GTO/Monaro. Unless someone offers me a decent price for it.

How long are you here for and what's it worth?
Must confess it is a car I've always fancied.

I'd be interested if you did sell but suspect that once UK duties become due at 10% plus 20% VAT, it may face the same issue I have with not importing one.

Was going to say I thought it would be too crazy if you didn't know each other some how!

They are really cool looking cars!

Any plans to mod it? That's the good thing about those Chevy lumps, sooo many parts available!

Yup thats me! We live fairly close to each other and he has helped me working on the car. Come spring, we shall see how my new setup delivers. I came REAL close to buying a 1st Generation CTS-V a couple years back.
