Default The Granbymobile
Haven't been on here for a while so i thought i would post up some pics of my new car, as some of you may know i blew the engine on the wagon at the MLR 30-130 in March, after that i lost interest in the car and decided to break it

I also decided to go for something sensible this time so got myself a Vauxhall .......................................... .................................................. ....... .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .Monaro 6 litre V8 (452bhp & 466ft lbs)

The only photo that could do this justice is one with smoke pouring from it's tyres

Always harboured a secret desire for one of these

Sideways is the new way forward.

No trackdays Should`nt be allowed a car like that and not do trackdays.

hope you have the extended warranty, we have managed an extra 18 months on our vauxhall vans due to them being IN the dealers so much.

So you finally took the plunge. Nice one.

Only 2.5 years but I bet worth the wait.

I can hear the "Darkside " calling . . .

Time just flies by when you are having fun Pete.

Stick a undersized pulley on the SC & drag every last bit of oomph out of it.
