Thanks Rob ! Its given a real lift to our Xmas,hope to get out in the Beast soon,the last time i drove it "properly" was it,s drive to London where it was put in the container!That was back in August!!It maybe that some time in the future Venom 500 will be back in the U.K.I can,t realy go into details at this time but a VERY major/worring and unexpected issue has cropped up in the last 48 hrs (Nothing to do with the usual home sick stuff) and it maybe cause us to come back to the U.K.But in the mean time having Venom on the road will lift our Xmas a bit.Will post some cool shots of Venom on the road once things dry up a bit here (rained almost non stop for last 4 days!),I,ve had nothing to do but polish the beast in the last few months to don,t want to get it to wet! after so many weeks another day is no big deal!But can,t wait to show N.Z what a "real" car looks and sounds like!

Hope you and the family have a great Xmas Baz!And,Yes...I can,t wait to show the Kiwi,s what a "Proper" Super car should looks like..(A 4 door barge/rep mobile with a V8 does NOT = V8 SUPERCAR What a Joke!)But one always has to be a little careful when fact to face with a Kiwi,so It,s usualy a case of..."Cor....she,s a beauty Mr! but waiting to and until I,ve got some distance away!

Oh..and just one other thing Baz,you,ve fallen into the trap of most Kiwi,s....."It,s a Vauxhall...Not a Holden !,but I guess Holden kinda sounds a bit more muscular don,t it!:hehe. Lately I,ve got a few funny looks around Holden/Vauxhall owner by wearing my Vauxhall T-shirt,I kinda get and double take over here,and cause a bit of a stire when they notice that its not a Holden T-shirt (thing is most people think Vauxhall,s are sad EuroBoxs..VX220 is OK...so it comes as a bit of a shock when i say...Oh....didn,t you know Vauxhall own Holden!)I was going to use the t-shirt as a cleaning cloth (best use) but wearing it to wind-up Vauxhall.....I mean Holden owners is even better!
