Newbie Say's Hello!
Discussion
Hi everyone, I just thought I would say hello!
I pick up a '55 plate Monaro from that terribly nice man James from Elite cars w/c 10th October. It has only covered some 15k miles and by the sounds of it, it has all the non-performance enhancements one would likely need. The only downside is that it's black...and I swore I would never have another black car since they are so damn difficult to keep clean...so all and any advice on how to keep a black car pristine (without just leaving it in the garage) would be appreciated.
Two immediate jobs after I pick it up:
- a visit to Blackboots in Chesham to set the geo up for fast road use...they are the mutts nuts for this sort of thing having transformed my TVR T350...and they do all the geo work for DK Engineering (Google them)
- a visit to Dave the Trimmers near Milton Keynes to replace the drivers seat bolster which has some wear marks on it. I highly recommend Dave...his workmanship is epic, he cares, and he's a really nice bloke.
Looking forward to meeting up with you all as and when, and seeking advice on this or that.
Tony

Welcome, pics are mandatory upon pick up
Would love to hear how you find it compares to the T350 too, I'd saved up to buy one of those when I got the Monaro, ultimately the lack of a garage and the T350's lack of a V8 swung me on to the Ro.
