So i took the VX to a local car meet thursday evening.  The meet is a grown up and pleasant affair attended by all ages, Predominately made up of American classics/hotrods and old british classics,  along with a few modern sports cars/hot hatches that are normally directed to the overflow car park.  Having missed (ignored) these directions my mate (Focus RS) and I parked in front of a nice E-type.  We half-convinced the steward one was a modern classic and the other a future modern classic (well maybe in 20 years) and quickly scurried off for a shandy.

 

I was amazed at how much attention the VX got, from all ages, even more so at how many people kept asking, "What is It?" I know these cars are becoming increasingly rare but i didnt appreciate untill now, how many people had never seen one or, didnt realise they even existed.  Kind of makes ownership even more special.

 

And yes, I did point out to the organiser where the interest seemed to be.

Had the opposite recently up in the highlands. Was surprised at the amount of people that came up to talk to us that either used to have one or knew someone that had one, we even passed another who was out a run with a bunch of jags and astons! Made a change from the usual "what is it" and "is it fast/how fast?"...
