test drove my new car this morning
Went up to Sherwoods Vauxhall in Darlington this morning and test drove a 6.0 V8 Monaro. Jesus, what a car. Thoroughly impressed with it and the only thing I could fault was the Vauxhall badge on the front 
Definitely getting one next year now after we've moved into the new house. Th engine noise alone made me nearly wet myself. Found the replacement for the Cossie, all I got do is save now.

The latest Chevy LS motors are awesome imo. Tuning parts are cheap and as you say the V8 soundtrack is the mutts nuts. I reckon by next Spring 15k will get you a minter with low miles.
