Post by: mattchaps on June 15, 2011, 12:42:14 pm
Here she is, 2 weeks into ownership. Completely standard MY07 with 18" Monza II's.

Have a few things lined up in the near future, but the Mrs won't allow anything to be done until we've completed on our house move!

Cheers Dom, I promised she'd stay standard.... but then I said that about the R32!

Hope you are well and family are well.

From what I hear the R has been off the road @ APS for 2/3 months with an unknown gear box problem!
