Hi all, finally got around to collecting my new VX this morning on my day off. She's a silver 52 plate NA with 76k. £8000 with a 12 month warranty, fresh MOT and a year's tax. After hunting the Web for so long this one just happened to be for sale across the road from work at another dealer, staring at me begging to be bought! Took her for a brief drive and so so pleased, another world compared to my focus 1.0 company car and a lot more forgiving than I expected. Taking it easy for now though as this weather comes in. Pleasure to be here :) Ben

Welcome to the club. You won't regret buying it and you won't stop grinning when driving it. I've had mine nearly four years and enjoyed every minute of it. I still have a grin like Jack Nicholson's Joker  :D  

Pics please.

Welcome to the funny farm from me as well...

 

..careful is the appropriate word and dont get complacent..

 

..its wet, its dark, and always finsh your corners before getting on the pedal on the right

 

Get booked for the Hoon, we need a borders stop from the south for afternoon tea, your location is ideal .. :)

Thank you all for the welcome! I totally agree with the uncontrollable grinning, this car even made my boring weekly asda trip an adventure, so much character! I'd love to upload pics but my phone won't let me, either that or I just don't know how 😂 Would be a pleasure to mingle with some experienced owners, my only issue is getting the days off as I'm in the motor trade...
