May I recommend fitting a tracker to this one?

The back seats in that Monaro look epically comfortable! I want one as a desk chair.

Nice motor Nathan

Love the colour.

Are you going to rebadge it as a Holden? First thing I'd do if it was mine.

And then if anyone asked if I rebadged it because I was embarrased it was a Vauxhall I'd say yes, and that the Vauxhall badge didnt deserve a place on anything good

I followed a VXR8 Bathurst S around Plymouth Hoe today. It sounded absolutely incredible. It was white.

One day, when i get back on my feet money wise...

I do like them, I just think my view of them has been unfairly tinged with how crap the car it was based on was to drive.

DM · 16 Oct 2010 at 20:03

Shame they dont do an auto one of them do they?

[TW]Fox · 16 Oct 2010 at 20:04

They certainly do.

I most likely will Fox, I feel it gives the car a more exotic look to the general public.

Interesting

I've seen a few unmarked Vectras used by the police sporting a Turbo badge. I take it these are also slightly under tuned compared to the VXR versions?

Preston police have a 2.8 and a 3.2. I asked when I was in the back of one a few years ago!

Nice R26. I like like them from every angle, except the rear, they look naff.

Yeah the 2.8 is the V6 turbo found in the VXR, and the 3.2 is the 3.2 N/A V6 from the Old Vectra GSI.

My Granada:

A car that single-handedly epitomises the 80s.

So damned comfortable and drives beautifully (partly due to its mileage)! More equipment than most modern cars as well

Sounds pretty good too!

That looks a clean old beast, Ford new how to make a bit of rubbish plastic wood then didnt they
