Nice, wish I had the money. Oh well I'll just have to settle for my 97' 5.7L V8 Camaro instead with 315bhp.

Lloydie is correct, its the 2012/3 Camero SS, with "normal" stick shift in the transmission tunnel. when I say normal, I mean it is in the normal place, but it doesnt feel like a normal box! it feels like it belongs in a tractor it is so clunky and full of wind up slack!

its built on the same chassis as the VRX Manaro that Vauxhall bring in from Austrailia...the one that top gear love, so it handles beter than the normal US muscle car.

was trying to do a phone call from the car on the way into work this morning but the noise the engine makes when it accelerates kept disrupting our discussion...........and perhaps I was doing it a bit too often cause it was so much fun

Returning to my Toyota Camrey hire car tonight will feel very dissapointing

not having the best of days, i just dropped my bike trying to put it on a rear paddock stand........grrrrrrrr
i think the floor was slightly uneven and the stand wasn't lined up properly, well i managed to take the majority of the blow myself

pinged the rear numberplate off, leaving a small crack in the undertray, but its now hidden behind my new small numberplate
pictures to follow shortly.
i also managed to chip the paint ever so slightly on the sticky out part low down on the n/s fairing, it will be easy to touch in.
i just need someone with small hands to help me refit the undertray

DOH! Back away from the bike now!

Marty its a bit late I know...

Mac's TOP TIP....When you are putting a bike on a paddock stand, put a bit of wood under the side stand first to straighten the bike up.

This makes it easier to line the paddock stand up in the correct place on the swingarm.

Helpful of Kent.

Another Mac's TOP TIP....never swim in shark infested custard
