he's just sore that he's had to settle for something other than a moonland  :D

 

Joking aside, it does look smart and nice to see you've got yourself a new VX already!! 

 

Also nice to know CCI are good to deal with when the worst happens.

I keep forgetting that gay jokes aren't acceptable any more.

 

I didn't realize how different Sc's were to drive. The power is much more instant but the revs need to be much higher than a turbo. It will take some getting use to but overall I'm impressed with the power delivery.

CCI were amazing. Like you say, it is nice to know that they don't screw you over when things go wrong. They didn't sting me on the insurance for this car either, most other companies whack your premium right up after a claim. MSVT were fantastic as well, they gave me a complete refund on my Brands Hatch track day when I explained what had happened.

It is funny you say that, I used to think SC's were for gays. Now it is clearly turbos that are for those that bat for the other team. :D

 

Remember you saying at Anglesey something like "I couldn't put up with that stupid whine" :D

 

Nice one getting back in so quick it's easy to mope and be a sad sack when these things happen.

I didn't have a pax in your Vx that day. It was Ryan's (well, my VX now I suppose) that I thought had a stupid whine when he took me out in it at Donnington. I have always been quite blunt about SC's, odd how I've ended up buying one. I think the fact that this VX goes so well prompted me to buy it. In fact, I crashed my turbo at Donnington trying to keep up with it!

Cheers Chris, I might take you up on that. It has a miltek fitted and passed the sound check at Donnington when Ryan had it. I'm sure Donny is particularly anal about loud cars. I'm sure it will be OK. If not, I'll just strap a pillow over the tail pipe.
