Yeah I've always said that is the best positioin to be in if you want a good deal. Not really want it. Therefore you can walk away and not get involved in the deal if its not right on paper.
Problem with driving it is that its in Cardiff 
Steve - I just like the experience. I'll miss that. V8 as consolation prize or not, there's something about driving with no roof that just makes me happy.

Might be the perfect car though so the trip would be worth it. Just try not to talk yourself into or out of it before you even get there

It's a lot of money and fuel prices are going up. That would be the thing to put me off. Never been a fan of convertibles due to all the twats about. Easier to break into and you will get some jealous badger slice the roof or something. Not really a car i would like to use around Liverpool but then on the plus side nice to use in the summer months.
If you haven't got anything else to spend the repayments money on then go for it IMO.

Ian, where in Cardiff? I know Hutchings is a specialist VXR dealer for the Monaro and VXR8, is the car there?

Just finished it and then nearly closed the window because I can't face selling it. It costs me nothing, I love it and its boss, but I've owned it for FIVE years.
Help me out. Is that too long or would you keep it if you love it? Monaro is OK but not a convertible and its absolutely crap on juice. Like annoyingly so.
Buy it you nonce

Is it a VXR? Or have I read that it's "only" the 330bhp model?
