Where to start :rolleyes:

I can actually feel a little tug on my heart-strings over some of the posts of late Posted Image


Where can I get a custom bodykit?
Can I put 19s on the VX?
I've just smacked my VX into a wall because I lost it on some diesel and I wasn't driving like a twat, honest

thumbsdown

Oh dear, I bought the VX with the sole purpose of getting away from the chav crowd - other car is a MG ZR and unfortunately that forum just disintegrated into chav-dom in the time I was on there! And before anyone remarks - the ZR is a pretty chavvy car yes.... However if you keep it un-modified yopu are still left with a BRITISH (most important) everyday hatchback that handles pretty damned well. You certainly won't be hearing me ask about superficial mod's as the first thing I was planning to do when I got the VX was remove the MMG Diffuser, though as time has rolled on I can't be arsed messing around refitting the original.

why stop at 19" 20" would be much better; go for 20" on the back and 19" on the front to get the handling balance that was so wrong when the original car was launched. Everyone on the interweb knows that a back street tuner with years of experience will always know better than any manufacturer of a mass produced car. Don't forget to increase the width of the front tyres as well, 175 is silly looks wrong so must be poof, put 195 or 205's on at least if you need to fit arch extensions it hasn't been done before but the only way to improve the car is to try and good luck to you ffs

Sadly I've a nasty feeling that it has been done before - on that awful white Regal VX? I'd do a search but my life-blood just drained away ... thumbsdown

lyrics like this I don't think they expect to be taken seriously.

V. Funny though
Your Mother's Got A Penis lyrics

That's right, you knows what I'm saying
Your mother's offered me the goods, I'm not paying.
It started as a laugh, as a bit of a joke
Something funny to say when I was having a smoke.
I first heard off this bloke, this fcuking rumour going round
Your mother's reputation it's not sound
She's saving up the pennies hoping they'd turn into pounds
To have an operation to swap her gender around.

It's a shock to me and it's a shock to you
Your mother's got a beard, sandals and a penis too
It don't look right see, when she's walking down the street
To see her ball bag jiggin' to the beat of her feet

I said
Your mother's got a penis
Your mother's got a penis
Your mother's got a penis
That's right
Your mother's got a penis

In internet rooms and computer mainframes
There's loads of females but your mother's blue veins.
Not the ones in her legs or the backs of her arms
But the ones in her member head and in her garms.
She walks around proud, with a short dress on
Which sometimes exposes the tip of her dong.
Often it's dripping, sometimes it's dry
No matter when I see her there's a tear in my eye.
I thought I had to tell you, had to put it in a letter
But I thought fcuk that I'd write a song in much better.
The only way to do it, to really let you know
I could prove it because I gave it a blow.
It was purely accidently because she got me really drunk
And she made me kiss her elephant trunk.
You know why? That's right
Your mother got a penis.

Your mother's got a penis (Your mother's got a penis)
Your mother's got a penis (Your mother's got a penis)
Your mother's got a penis (Your mother's got a penis, c'mon)
That's right
Your mother's got a penis (Your mother's got a penis)

Your mother's got a penis (Your mother's got a penis)
Your mother's got a penis (Your mother's got a penis)
Your mother's got a penis (Let's Rock !)
That's right
Your mother's got a penis

When she walks down the street, then she walks like John Wayne
I just seen her pissing standing up again.
Don't make no sense when you see her here and there
She got a cock and balls and real pubic hair.
And a single eye that sometimes weeps
If she lying on the bed then she rubs it on the sheets
Or up against the door or the back of your neck
If your mother's around then you make a double check.
I hate to tell you with all due respect
Take your mother to the doctors because her front bum's wrecked.

You know why?
Your mother's got a penis (C'mon Wembley)

Your mother's got a penis (Your mother's got a penis)
Your mother's got a penis
Your mother's got a penis (Put your hands in the air, Wembley)
That's right
Your mother's got a penis (Yes)

Your mother's got a penis (Wembley Arena, I can feel the electricity, C'mon !)
Your mother's got a penis
Your mother's got a penis
That's right
Your mother's got a penis

For the 18th week running, UK rap grounp the GLC hold the number one
position of the US billboard chart with another smash hit, Your Mother's Got A Penis.

Come 'ere boys, you ever seen a woman with a cock before?
Come yer, c'mon look at it. Bouncing up and down I'll stick it in you
Come yer, a woman with a cock. Tidy !

Yeah it's the truth man, his mother have actually got a penis.

Is yellow the new chav colour? Quick, call peugeot and honda and make them stop producing all those yellow cars that I don't see on my industrial estate doing burn outs and leaving half a ton of McDonalds waste in the street :rolleyes:

Seriously, the VX220 is based on a Lotus designed rolling chassis, why would anybody want to mess with the fundamental lotus philosophies in car design and engineering.
Fitting bigger wheels is a step in the wrong direction and very few people do it yet alone contemplate it.


Vauxhall for a start, wasn't the Lotus frame designed for 16" wheels?

Doesn't this depend on who you ask on the interweb again?

OK so Vxl wanted 17" all round to improve the look but the Lotus frame, Elise and VX only share a few parts compared to the total number, so it would suggest that perhaps Lotus didn't compromise it all that much and there was more done around designing it all to suit the larger wheels.

Not the done thing to suggest I know, but when the Europa was launched from Lotus and with all the options in the world it was originally 17's fitted now I think it is on 18's.

All the interweb justification sounds like people finding good ways to justify spending money on their P&J not a bad thing but is it not just for the sake of it.
Does anyone on here really have the skills for the road, and even if they did is there the space on the Queens highway to notice the difference?

Lotus initially used 15" front and 16" rear wheels on the Elise S1. If the VXR is supposed to the the epitome of what a VX can be then that is what I will use as a benchmark.
