Default VX220 Turbo OHHHH YES

Just taken delivery

What a fab piece of kit ******* to get into but once in it just feels soooo good not quite STi 5 zap but great steering and brakes just need more
throttle response and a tad more rorty noise but like anything get the cheque book out and the mods are available

Regards
Tim

Tim TKH bought a silver one- should be a laugh when we both try to get in it on Saturday

Spoilt or what- VX220 Turbo AND Sti5 Type RA, and a new E320CDi for those sensible days (only done about eight miles in 12 months tho hasn't it tim )

Question

If it's a bit small to get in and out, where on earth do you put the haidressing scissors, then blow wave styling combs, and the mobile driers?

Anyway Guys

Off to Olton in the morning to see if its any good but i have a nasty feeling
it wont be a patch on me type 5 Ra which will be a tad dissapointing given the hype put a Miltek on it on Wednesday hoping it would give it more ooomf
and a bit more noise but it doesnt seem to have made much difference anyway heres looking forward to Oulton

Regards

Thumbs up

I love the styling/looks of these, i prefer it to the elise. Saw one the other day and it looked great in the flesh.

I would love to have a go in one (not a hint) the performance is supposed to be phenominal (on paper) and i bet it is, and more.

Good choice IMHO, more practical than an elise and better looking (also imho)

Great looking car, look forward to an update once it is run in.

Hi guys fresh back from Track-Action day yesterday and i have to say the little VXT did me proud but i have to admit wishing i was in the scoob from time to time you can get away with so much more i.e put the car in too quick or too deep and you can still drive your way out of it not so the VXT if you go in too hot or hit the gas too early it needs sorting out pretty quick or your facing the wrong way fortunatley as it did a 360 i ended up facing the right way but get it right and this car is a track day dream i love it

Regards
Tim
