Drove her back yesterday:



Drives great, ultra responsive steering (maybe the rack did need a refurb on my last one )

Currently has Gaz Shocks, Speedlines, Fast Geo, Turbo Spoilers, Very funky headunit


A few areas need a bit of attention, the paintwork is quite scratched, haven't yet decided whether to take the plunge and buy myself a random orbital, or whether to simply pay someone else to do it There's quite a bit of water getting into the lights - so out with the heat gun and tigerseal

Of course the wether has put a bit of a damper on progress, has hoped to get the Autoglym on the go today

Now I just need to work out what is stored in the spare room, and how much can be fitted to this car

Sounds good

May have to wait for the weather to behave itself a bit better

No worries just drop me a PM when your ready

I know it's in good hands! Hopefully you will be able to take the plates off tomorrow! I miss it already The Z4 is great! tons of toys to keep me entertained and much more practical for the conditions of the roads i use daily, but i don't think i will ever have the same passion for it as the vx. Good luck with the project mate

while your going to take the covers of the lights and re-seal them you might aswell spray them black it by the way

Cheers bud - looking forward to it

Glad you like the new Z4, should be much easier to live with on a daily basis

I never really ventured into the world of performance last time - things should be a little different this time

I have a load of stuff to fit too - I'll get some pics up soon

Wondered what you had bought . Brave man(darin ) driving it in the snow!! Watch that back-end !! Look like you got yourself a decent VX there . When you re-sraying it!?!?!

[mandarinvx]

a little nerve racking Quite liking the stealth look; having the chance all over again I had three colours in mind; black, rab red and mandarin (the first two were the colours I wanted when I first started looking at VX's)

[rsg]

When you re-sraying it!?!?!

Or are the wheels, fuel cap, front V going to be sprayed mandarin orange, as a sort of 'inverted' tribute to your last car??

[Strugs]

Welcome back to the fold!

I think that's been done already, there was a car like that at the last National - Gingerjon I think

Welcome back to the fold!
