[Wolfstone]

I have all standard bits Gordon.  Just that they may not all be currently attached to the car.

It's never been standard. Remap which he will deny, but it was a press car so no flat spot. Splam esq grill. Brace bar inside. Now different wheels.

Standard as supplied direct to me by Vauxhall Bob.  

 

Two perfect condition original 'V's in the loft. One of which may be going back on soon.  Centre brace is a standard Vauxhall accessory part.  Mint condition silver turbo wheels in the garage, along with a set of black(ish) turbo wheels.  And standard VXR Speedlines (albeit it freshly refurbed in silver) currently attached to the car.  

 

See........perfectly standard(ish).

Yeah yeah keep talking it up. Mine is also standard based on arse potato logic. I have standard airbox with a few extra holes. I have a milltek exhaust of a vxr factory supplied. No visual differences on my car. Mine looks more standard than yours

You can see the snow line here on the way to work this morning.

So guess which car I drove to work today, my open top rear wheel drive sports car, or my four wheel drive Range Rover sitting on new Vredestein Wintrac Extreme winter tyres?

 

 

That's right - I checked the weather forcast before and did the sensible thing.

 

 

There was a dinner at a restaurant over looking Lake Zurich. I missed the cable car so drove up instead, not realising it was snowing - quite heavily. Narrow, twisty and steep. I had to leave the car about 1km from the restaurant and wondered if it'd be findable when I got back but fortunately it didn't snow much during dinner.

The VX isn't made for snow. It is on winter tyres but even so it's just crap. Fun though if there's no other traffic around.

 

 

[Rudy]

That boat doesn't look safe above the vx....eek!

[KurtVerbose]

It's almost perfectly safe.

[Rudy]

Maybe I'd back up the vx to the back of the garage.........for security

[VXT Tim]

Snowing in Glossop.

[Rusty789]

No snow yet! Dissappointed so far!

Clear skies above Gloucestershire & I've been running on winter tyres since mid-December, how my work colleagues have pointed & laughed! One icey morning so far & that's it

Only 2 icy mornings here. The rest of the time has been wet and wet. No sight of snow at all since pair last year.
