Tempted with another Monaro again....
Discussion
Early days but really miss the Holden world, had 3 now but the Monaro I kept the longest before, the ute was awesome but never a hoon car and the vxr8 was not as raw, like the red big boot vxr on autotrader but looks like it's now sold, will keep my eyes peeled unless someone knows something coming up?

As Mr.Gripless pointed out, it might take a little while to complete assembling it...
As I haven't been on here for a while have caught myself up a bit, sorry to hear about the vt mate, when I was at yours I have to admit it was a temping car to own, hopefully you can have the patience to finish the blue one and avoid the German temptation!As Mr.Gripless pointed out, it might take a little while to complete assembling it...
Hi Gary,
Will finish the blue one this year with the stroker engine. Then I'll focus on that black VXR. While it's a (very light) cat-D, it is low mileage and rot free. The LSA charger would go nice in it. I've got most of the parts, so it's just about finding the time.
I still have an itch to build another 1200hp street car again, so these two Monaros will go at some point to fund that project.
