Nice one Andrew smile I do miss that car! If you need to know anything just get intouch, do you know what the little switch is under the dash by the bonnet catch ?

If it's what I think it is, then it's a good job you didn't flick the switch. smile

Congratulations on buying one of the nicest r8's I've worked on
I've always had a soft spot for that car & it drives so well

Hope you get a lot of enjoyment from it

So picked the car up this morning from elite. Very nice car to drive. Suspension in particular is a lot nicer than I had on the blue one. feels nice and fast and the exhaust is lol loud. Makes the wortec I had on my old car seem like it was broken wink

I think the yellow Monaro is going to be up for sale in the new year as I can't see me ever finding the time to play around with it now I have picked the r8 up. So if anyone is looking for a nice yellow cv8.............
