Sold.

True, you just lose 2k in depreciation.

Yeah, I’m hoping that’s what will happen.

Yeah, parcel force 24 hrs was more 120hrs .

I’ve not sold it yet! Not even had a sniff but to be fair it probably does look dodgy so can’t blame people. On a side note, my exhaust back boxes turned up today.

£1500 loss in two weeks. It’s like buying a new car from the show room!

The breakdown issue I had has ruined the experience for me. I don’t think it’ll sell as they’re quite a niche vehicle but we shall see. The exhaust turned up today so a bit of extra noise might change my mind.

It’s for sale.

Cars back and I’m £900 lighter but seems to be ok now - hopefully! Back boxes were collected on the parcel force 24hr service on Monday and still haven’t arrived. Will hopefully turn up Monday!

Mpg on the first 500 miles or so.

Looks awesome.

That was the plan prior to the new big bill. These were £200 for the back boxes so should give me some noise for a little less money.

I can’t afford the full exhaust so I’ve bought some shiny back boxes to cheer myself up.

The code it brought up was an issue with the air flow into the engine so could have been a number of issues. Apparently, it’s not uncommon for the wiring to deteriorate on these due to the quality Australian workmanship. They’ve had it a week and put it through it’s paces and there have been no...

No it’s all sorted now. I’m just getting some extra stuff done. For the next owner.

So.....things haven’t gone that according to plan with the vxr8. I was driving it the week after I bought it in a spirited fashion and all of a sudden it went into limp mode. I did the classic fix of switching it on and off a couple of Times and it came out of limp mode but still had the check...

Booked in for the exhaust doing on the 06/08. Can’t wait!

I test drove two and they both broke down so I lost confidence. Good looking motors.

Looks decent. He just do it on the side or is it a full time thing?

I must be getting old because that sounds outrageous!

Never noticed that but you’ve got a point.

I can’t find a video to compare as well! A guy is selling these from oz which would be a bolt on upgrade but not sure they’d be loud enough.

Yeah, few exhaust places have said to just chop the rear boxes out but I’m a bit worried about the noise!

Something like these;

Exhaust next I think. I can’t deal with those tail pipes!

Removed the Vauxhall’s lettering from the back so I can pretend it’s not a Vauxhall even easier now. I could go full gay and buy the full Holden badge set from walkinshaw.

Gave the car a bit of a polish today and it came up quite nicely. Also, the cars got the vxr8 common problem of misting on the rear lights so removed it to try and get it dried out.

No, came with that plate.
