Something has caught my eye and I'm writing this to get a feel for a new owner of my baby.

 

Spill the beans Mark!

[Captain Vimes]

Would a dyno print and confirmation of bhp help with the sale?

If it helps

 

Which is WHP 278 & WTQ 339 with 18-21 PSI boost  (@wheels)

 

So pub talk would be more at the crank.

 

[darronwall]

Ahh so that thing really did catch your eye!! Fwiw your vx is a good one that's been loved!

[gaffer1986]

Good luck with your sale. You seem to have put a lot of effort and money into this car.

[wanabee]

Thought this was an April fools post!

 

Good luck with finding a new home for her Mark.

 

What's the next project then? Come on you can tell us. We won't let on!

[Bumblebee]

Can't believe you're selling! I'm guessing it's some kind of Lotus that's its replacing?

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

Can't believe you're selling! I'm guessing it's some kind of Lotus that's its replacing?

Probably a supercharged version Seen the light 🤒

[Mike (Cliffie)]

Good luck with the sale Mark, what has caught you eye; is it air cooled?

[Kieran McC]

It probably is supercharged not on a VX though. Still could be wrong 😉

Will post a photo of the new toy hopefully once I arrange and collect it, should be a good replacement

Not a Caterham then?

[mbes2]

Not a Caterham then?

 

 

 After almost being stuck in side you car seat.... a Caterham was not top of my want list 

 

Felt like   after 10min trying to get over the roll cage lol 

 

I'm going to miss the VX for sure but it will make someone a ideal road / track monster but they will need to be brave.

[SteveA]

Evoras aren't just a car for gays, women can drive them too

I've already told him he'll be banned on public health grounds, if he buys a Bloatus Ebola. Carriers are living on borrowed time too.
