    Hi All,

    Greetings from a UK newbie. I'm Maz and currently own a 2009 Vauxhall VXR8. I've visited the forums in the past looking for info so I thought I'd join up in the hope that you guys have more knowledge (and available parts) than here in UK.
    Incidently, I've had the VXR8 a year exactly and it's consumed $9819.32 of fuel in those 365 days. A lot of miles and even more smiles. Lovin' every minute of ownership even at UK fuel prices.

    Safe Drivin' everyone

    Maz
