Stu, if whichever head you source needs stripping & checking over before fitting shoot me a pm and i'll pick it up and get it all taken care of. Hell, i'll even make one of the apprentices re-lap the valves too oh and if Slinds coming to swear at it, i'll come along and keep him sedated.

Stu, do you want me to bring a head to Snetterton?

Not many places like this - ie to offer the support for it. And you could just accept any gestures of goodwill that I (and anyone else) is willing to give as a wedding gift anyway.

If I say I've got two broken headlamps can I expect the same whip-round? .Org (and its members) is showing itself, in this thread, to be exacly what it should be about and what makes it such a valuable place.

[elwill]

Can we have a whip round to get you motoring again? I'll chip in. It'll only take a fiver each from 10 of us to get you rolling.

there is no way i could accept that, i would just feel terrybad until i have paid you all back..

thanks for the offers for a replacement head (Cliff & Rik) depending on what the garage decide to do depends on what i do about it

Pffft.....

It's a couple of pints as a congrats wedding thing. Think of it that way.

Also Stuwy you're only a few years younger than me but there is no way that I would have been able to afford a VX even a few short years ago. I would have done nearly anything to get my hands on one, but I simply didn't have the money to do it. I have so much respect that you've managed to make it work, get a VX, get it on the road when I couldn't, and I'm sure it must have taken some serious sacrifices. To take all that away because some gorilla feels the need to screw your spark plugs through the engine and halfway into the road upsets me to no end. So honestly, if I can help out I am very happy to do so.

You could of got an NA I'd of thought? Your turbo would of had £4-6k ontop of a stock VX. Maybe you were just living within your means while some.......

Maybe if you said you had two awful looking seats, you might get somewhere.

Sure, and you'll end up with two torches! We'll even take out the old lamps for you as we're so helpful.

Central Manchester, living in an area with a heavy gang presence, only on street parking etc etc.

A VX on the street wouldn't have lasted 5 mins without being vandalised or stolen.

The cost of a lockup (of which there were none nearby) and insurance in that part of the world meant it was a no go.

Honestly, would have struggled to have even bought the NA, let alone real world considerations. The turbo was a big push and that's a good two three years down the line from starting to seriously look at sports cars.

Also I spent quite a few years at uni, and that costs. Had to pay off/sort out quite a lot before we got into VX financial territory.

I don't think it's an issue of living within your means, it just was impossible for various reasons.
