[workmeistr]

My kids were excited that the Top Gear guys tested the latest VX the other night:

Other Vauxhalls have used the VX nomenclature over the years, Vauxhall.

Too bad the new VXR8 would be about $70K even if we could get it in the States...

That I'm sure would be the GTO replacement if the pontiac badge hadn't been killed by Government Motors

Man, that holden coupe is hot. I dunno what it is, but it's like, as VX owners, we often have the same likes. I've seen VX.info posters talk about similar loves like FD RX-7s and Lotus Elise , even a 240z guy. NOw a G8 driver! I'd love a G8 GXP in white. I don't know when this happened, but white is my favorite car color right now. But it's one of those colors that has afine line between awesome and crappy. Alittle off white, a little bit of yellowish or bronzish tint, makes it look like decaying teeth! But the bright, bright white that they're painting cars now..! Is it an ipod thing that finally ate away at my senses? I dunno....but this time a year or so ago, I'd have put white at the bottom of my car color list.

That hlden coupe would be my 3-series killer. I was very very close to a 335i this summer. Or if I would have found a white G8 GXP for the price I'd bite on, I'd have the same garage as you above!

haha, i've had a lotus, and a 240, also a saturn sky that i really liked too.

Take a VXR8 and put it on roids. You get the Bathurst edition. An ape of a car. Makes sounds that should almost be illegal.

"...Bathurst - basically it's a place where Holden and Ford fans go to have a massive fist fight and then in the interval, when the paramedics go in, sometimes a car race breaks out..."

Don, just let me know what you want.
Some are easier to get than others, but I will try for whatever.

If you get a chance watch it w/ surround sound. Had it playing while I was driving in the car one time, the noises that came out of the speakers /droool. For a second I thought I was in Topgear and my truck was an R8.
