[minime]

anyone else here knows the number of their vxr?.......i have heard that i may have the earliest number on this site? it seems as if the vauxhall dealers or people in the know have bagged the first 20+!! has anyone else heard this? vxr owner numbers so far...... 11. rasputin? have confirmation on this? 25. minime 26. graham at picador 32. wickywire?have confirmation on this? stu.......if you read this any news on any of the upgrade parts? also can i have the 2004 livery please and i would like to order an extra set of wheels too!

[wickywire]

I'm number 41 but my car is due to arrive on or around the 23rd of July

[minime]

vxr owner numbers so far...... 11. rasputin? have confirmation on this? 25. minime 26. graham at picador 41. wickywire anymore? what about a factory visit? to see them being put together? another thought.......how long is the production of the vxt going on for after the vxr?

[Ratspants]

11. rasputin? have confirmation on this?
25. minime
26. graham at picador
41. wickywire

So who the hell has ordered all the other ones and how did they find out about them?!?!

For my money, I bet they end up on autotrader or here within weeks of their purchase by these 'grey' owners - probably been sold on spec by over-enthusiastic salesmen. How many VXTs have we seen recently with low mileage, only 6 months old? I bet people read about them, buy them, then realise it's a pretty damn hardcore sports car. Same rule will apply to VXRs but multiplied many times over.

You guys might not have seen it or even had a test drive but I know that you all have a pretty good idea of what to expect.

mani has ordered 1 but i don't know his number. Also i reckon cheeky has aswell but he won't say. Louise reckons the production of the vxt ends in august 2005 though she isn't sure.

[rasputin]

[wickywire]

i spoke to Stu Harris who said that 41 and 2 in the thirties are due to arrive on or around the 23rd of July. As long as there arn't any hiccups

Just out of curiosity (and to bolster my conspiracy theory ), what was your motivation to buy one, Annie? Have you owned/tried out similar stuff?

Driving history can be boring, but in shorthand I did a day at Hethel with Lotus a couple of years ago and came away with the track challenge trophy (not bad I thought for 1 girlie out of 4 and 20 chaps) then, bitten by the bug of proper driving I got a Subaru Impreza and have followed that with an Impreza STi. Test drove the VX220T last year and was about to order when I saw the VXR / Sprint one-off in the motoring press. That was it - I was in love!

I certainly won't be doing anything with it other than having a huge amount of fun.

PS May not be the youngest on the forum, but I am definitely not grey!

I meant mysterious and distant rather than elderly!

I came from an Impreza P1 to a VX and it's a whole stack more fun to drive!

Sounds like have an idea of what to expect but I still think there's a chunk of people out there on the VXT/VXR list who haven't really apprecieated what it's actually like to live with these cars on a regular basis.
