Hi guys and girls,

Just thought I would say hi from sunny(not so much) England. My 2SS RS has arrived in dock today and should be picking her up in a few weeks

I have been driving a Supercarged LS3 VXR8 for the last year and an LS2 Monaro VXR before that. But I must say this is the one I am really looking forward to.

Anyway look forward to chatting to you guys and will fly the flag this side of the Atlantic

Regards Phil

Here are few shots of my current car....(Mine is the white one)

Only a handful over here

, kind of used to the attention it in the VXR8, but they have become alot more common now.

I always wanted a Camaro anyway. Seeing as they are never going to be brought over officially, decided to import one myself.

Never heard of your VXR8... is it basically a supercharged G8 GXP? Might be a dumb question... but what brand is it? England's branch of Pontiac?

Welcome to the site. You're gonna have to keep us updated now. lol

You got any plans to mod the car when you get it?

Albion · 12-05-2009, 10:35 AM

Nice one VXR,
Where in the U.K. are you?Mine is being built next week if CAMARO TRACKING is to be believed.Will still have to wait til Feb/Mar' til i can get it on the road,though.
What colour are you getting and as another poster has put,are you getting any mods?

TooCool5 · 12-05-2009, 11:29 AM

Don't know what his car is either?

Albion · 12-05-2009, 11:34 AM

It is effectively an adapted Holden exported to England under the Vauxhall badge of which both are owned by GM,hence it is armed with an LS2/3 engine.
Supercharged LS3 i think.
